      Unfortunately this is a limitation due to the Ruby version SketchUp use. There is nothing we(plugin developers) can do. It needs to be addressed by Google

        It can be done through a C/C++ extension. I have it in mind to create such a 'library', but I am currently too busy to invest my time in it.
        SU2Thea can save/read files containing non-ASCII characters in their paths/filenames.

          Ditto.
          I tried to make Google add such helper methods.

          It is only an issue under Windows though. So only a Windows C Extension is required. OSX works fine.

              • Fixed: Installed RB files are now loaded after installation - avoiding restart.

                ? This plugin should be usable for OSX users... Are you getting errors?

                    Thanks Dave. I'd be surprised if it didn't. Now we can only ponder what the question was related to...

                          That doesn't seem to be related to this plugin. It refer to a "window style.rb" plugin that tries to load "windows/api.rb".

                                I keep getting the message windows cannot open this file. When I try to have it select from a list of programs, it takes me to a bunch of PC cleaner sites. Any further direction?

                                  Hi Katie,

                                  You do not need to open or run these rb files (but if you are interested, open them with notepad as they are simple text files).

                                  Simply copy the file into your plugins folder:
                                  C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins
                                  or
                                  C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins
                                  on a 64 bit Windows, restart SketchUp and you are done.

                                  Some more complex plugins consist of several files so they are usually distributed zipped in an archive. See this topic how to deal with them:
                                  http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=35746

                                  Cheers and welcome!

                                  Gai...

                                    Changed the download to be a RBZ file only - and with screenshot description of how to install from within SketchUp.

                                          Hi Thomas,
                                          I am brand new to SketchUp, so forgive me for having no idea what I am doing! I have been reading through the forums with all the amazing plugins available, so I am anxious to get started. First plugin in I want to load is this one for sure. I followed your step by step install instructions, easy enough, but SketchUp is not accepting the plugin. It says:

                                          "SketchUp was unable to install the Extension you have chosen for some unknown reason.

                                          Consult your Extension's documentation for additional help."

                                          I am using Mac SketchUp Pro 8. Any ideas? Am I missing something?

                                          Thanks!
                                          Chris

                                            Do you have full read/write permissions to your 'plugins' folder?
                                            If not you will need to fix them.
                                            Here’s how I believe you modify permissions on MAC OSX, using the 'Info' window...
                                            [I'm on a PC !]

                                            • While using an 'administrator account'...
                                            • Click the folder's icon to select it.
                                            • From the 'File' menu, select 'Get Info'.
                                            • A dialog appears.
                                            • Click the 'disclosure triangle' next to 'Sharing & Permissions' to display permissions for the selected folder.
                                            • Click the 'lock' and 'authenticate' buttons as needed.
                                            • Use the menus next to 'users and groups' to change the permissions to 'read+write' for you [and * everyone else depending on your setup].
                                            • Use the 'cog' button to apply the changes to all contained files and subfolders/files as well...
                                            • When you’re finished, close the 'Info' window.
                                            • The changes are now current.

                                            On a MAC the correct folder path should be:
                                            macintosh HD//Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins
                                            Note this is NOT the similar 'user' one...

                                            TIG
