Hey all,
Just installed 2.0.4 and am seeing this pop up again. Any simple fixes to make this go away?

TIG · 20 Sept 2012, 16:17

Did you get-and-install the TT Lib that was linked on the download page ?

jokewalker · 20 Sept 2012, 17:06

TIG,
I did have a version of TT_Lib2 in the Plugins folder already, but went ahead and re-downloaded/installed per your suggestion. Seems to be working now. Thanks!

Sounds like you extracted the content of TT_Lib directly in the plugins folder istead of preserving the TT_Lib2 that contains them.

thomthom, sweet script. However i'm having problems with one of your tools.

The "Split faces into multiple pieces" doesn't seem to work properly on this face;

I can't give you the full scene though (NDA) and when I just paste this piece into a new sketchup scene your tool works. Any ideas?

Exploding object doesn't work either. The axis is at default place in the world at 0,0,0.

Can you save a copy of the model - erasing everything else - purge the model, then send it to me?

Hi Thomthom, today is another day, so after I turn on the computer again, it seems there is no problem on the same piece of mesh anymore. Something must've been corrected when restarting SketchUp. Perhaps I ran into a bug by somehow? But anyway, thanks for your offer to take a look. If it ever happens again, I will try and get some reproducible steps.

Ghost in the box.

thanks a lot.
i'm not good at english but i still want to say thanks for your sharing.

Thomthom,
Using this plugin again today on another very large autocad import, can't tell you how grateful I am for your plugin!

HELP !
It doesnt work for me. i'm using su 8, and at the beginning of load screen a message box appear saying that theres an error from loading the edges tool plugins.

Dave R · 31 Jan 2013, 13:10

What is the exact error message?

thomthom · 1 Feb 2013, 08:50

As Dave said, without knowing the error it's impossible to determine what the problem is.

If I'd hazard a guess, did you install the required TT_Lib2? Linked under Requirements right above the Download button?

This is an amazing tool. Thanks so much it's very useful. I like the concept of curve simplification.. However, forgive my out of the world request, is it also possible to have a way to make curves smoother- meaning an option to add segments rather than reduce. I know it sounds crazy but there are times when most of my CAD import are roughly segmented like the one shown on screenshot.

Thanks!

thomthom · 10 Apr 2013, 11:39

Problem here is that they are part of complex geometry. Adding more segments to that isn't easy for a computer operation to do.
