Hey Dave my agologizes i think ive figured it out it seems to work thanks John
-
I've extracted the files to the plugins folder but cant seem to find it anywhere in Sketchup. Any ideas? Have just updated to the latest free version of Sketchup 8.
Update, sorry just scrolled back through a few pages and found the solution. View/Toolbar and you can enable it there.
-
Can you help me in trying to figure out why OSCoolean has stop working? When i have two objects that i have group togther and intersected them, the command doesnt respond? Here a copy of my sketchup plugin folder. Thanks John
-
Why don't you post the model that is giving the problems?
-
This is just a simple model, that i used to see if it will work, do you think that the plugin round corners some how has affected it somehow?
-
Dave have you had a chance to figure out what could be happening with my problem? thanks john
-
You still haven't posted the model as I requested. You seem to be resisting being helped. I don't have more time to donate to this.
-
The model is posted if you cant figure it out fine! just say so, dont have an attitude about it

He meant the actual .skp file - not a screenshot.

The model isn't posted. A screen shot is not the model.
And I don't have an attitude about it. -
Well you know i did say i was new to these pugins, when were looking for help we are at a disadvantage. Not all of us are techno-wizs. Not trying to offend anyone but beng accused of resisting help seems like he is tired of doing this. I was just looking for help that is all.
-
So where is this model [SKP] file ?
I suspect that you have mis-installed something and the SKP will not be so helpful...
Have you tried doing this with the Ruby Console open and see if there are any messages ?
You need to help us to help you...
-
Dear TIG thanks for help, as i was saying i am new to this. Where would i find this skp file? if i knew where to find it i would sure like to send it to you. The Ruby Console had no message in it. I suspect from my lack of knowledge of the internal working of Sketchup & plugins that maby i should just be happy with sketchup the way it is. i just thought that this forum was for all ,when i sent the wrong pic of the model that should have been the clue that i am a rookie. thanks john

OK... we really do have our work cut out here...
At least if we are not getting error messages we know something
A Sketchup model is saved as a file on your computer.
That model-file have a file-type suffix '.SKP' [or .skp that's irrelevant].
So a model is often referred to a a 'SKP'...
That's the file you can attach to a post - just as you attached an image-file.
[Note that your system might be set also to make 'backup-files' [.SKB] of your model. do NOT attach that file...]Everyone has to start somewhere, all of us were 'useless' at some point...
On a separate issue from the 'SKP'...
I note that you have '...AdditionalPluginFolders.rb' in your Plugins folder.
Why?
This is only needed by users who know what they are doing... and have additional plugins in folders other than the standard folder structure, that they also want to auto-load - e.g. if you kept some plugins on a central server... Unless you really do need that remove it from the Plugins folder...Every .rb [and .rbs...] file in the Plugins folder will 'auto-load' [or at least try to do so] when Sketchup starts. So only have those types of files in there that you want to load and which you know are 'OK'...
Many files auto-load and then load other files in special subfolders... hence the 'Lib' folder for Fredo's scripts - these add extra functions and often the main bulk of a tool's coding...
-
Dear tig i am truley trying to find this .skp file when i type in search the drawing comes up, and i know now thats not what you want. is it some where in the c drive? ive look in sketchup folders, i dont know? the AdditionalPluginFolders.rb' was suggested by the author. would you like me to remove it?
-
If you are not actually 'using' the '...AdditionalPlugins' script then please remove it from the Plugins folder. It's pointless having things complicate issues unnecessarily...
On this question of the 'SKP file'...
How have you been able to open and save models thus far ???
If you have a new Sketchup model and you save it, you are prompted where to save it to.
How do you then open it later ?
That is the very SKP file you could attach to a post - although as I have said it's unlikely to offer much of a solution...
Surely you understand the basic operation of a computer ?
Have you ever used a PC before ?
Do you understand how files are made and saved as different 'types of file', so that they will open with different applications that are specific to that 'type' etc... for example a TXT file or a DOC file or a SKP file, or a PNG or JPG file, etc will ALL open with different applications [aka programs!]..

TIG, well your patience with me paid off. I removed the AdditionalPlugins than restarted win and now it works, i glad you stayed and helped. When i was downloading the plugin (Round Corner) the author had put id his referral of this (I also suggest that you install 000_AdditionalPluginFolders to have more control on errors when Sketchup loads plugins.) so i did? i dont know. Well thanks again John

I just gotta say, this plugin is FANTASTIC -- I just tried it on a few simple shapes and it works great! Thanks Oscar! You plugin writers are really making this Sketchup thing work in the real world!
