    hi thomas,

    here's something similar that fails tt_skin, but works for JPP.

    the lavender one is jpp'd.

    Also, the disappearing toolbars are from TIG's new DAE exporter, which uses

    Sketchup.send_action('terminate:')

    which 'disappears' the toolbars and was the last thing that I had used before I installed this.

    john
    tt_skin_test.skp

    learn from the mistakes of others, you may not live long enough to make them all yourself...

                Ah, yea. There are bugs in this plugin. Hence the Alpha status of the version number. Though I've not had any time to work on it recently.

                    That error message is not something I've put into Shell. I have no idea where it's coming from. Exactly what is the steps you do to produce that? (Can you also share the model along with the steps?)

                      Is it possible to shell but keep the return from the original geometry. I have tried with JPP too but seems to fall down when you try it with and opening with single extruded returns.

                      Many thanks

                        The generated geometry is created in a separate group - if that is what you mean..?

                              Your SKP will shrink to almost nothing IF you use Model Info > Purge Unused...
                              Then there's no need to zip/rar it and others will be more willing to look at it!
                              You don't appear to understand the idea of what makes a 'solid'.
                              An 8 sided box is a 'solid' - all edges have 2 faces - no more, no less.
                              Your group group has only 4 faces and several edges with only one face... so it's not a 'solid'.
                              Select two groups in turn and see what the Entity Info dialog says... make one as a 6 sided box [it says it's 'Solid'] and yours will not say it's 'solid' !
                              Therefore you can't do 'solid' operations on your group - it's not a 'solid'!

                                ... I'm confused ... you're getting the error when trying to use Solids Tools?

                                Shell doesn't require solids...

                                Can you explain step by step what you are doing? (What you click on etc.) Also, what are you trying to accomplish.

                                    As I tried to explain...
                                    Shell and similar only only work if the group is a 'solid'.
                                    An 6 sided box with no 'holes' is a 'solid'.
                                    If you delete edges and/or faces then it is no longer a 'solid'.
                                    The simple definition of a 'solid' group [or component] is that every edge in it has 2 faces attached to itself - but no more and no less...

                                        Ah!

                                        Now I understand what this all is about!

                                        You're trying to use SketchUp Solid Tools's "Outer Shell" command - instead of "Shell" which is this plugin. I can see how you got confused.
