      Hmmm.

      SU Pro V8.0.15158 - ASUS - Windows 7 - Core i7 - NVIDIA Geforce GTX - Chrome

      I have spent the afternoon trying to get this to work in all the various forms (english and french). I get this over and over:

      Message from 000_AdditionalPluginFolders

      1 ERROR(S): The following plugins had errors and may not be fully loaded:

      PLUGIN: sulinks.rb
      Folder:/program files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins
      ERROR: undefined method 'file_loaded?' for main:Object

      Really, Really, want to do links in SU.

        TIG helped me with a corrupt SU8 install (my doing) and 'links' now works as advertised.

        I think it will really help out with my project.

        Thanks to all.

          Follow-up:

          With this ruby, I can attach a url to an object so that it is displayed (see attached image), but the viewer can't do anything with it (me, in this test).

          I am wanting the object to display a link to another file (which this does, but you can only copy it from the dialog box and then cut and paste in a browser).

          I am looking for the link tp be displayed and clickable active in the SU file...possible?

          What am I missing (aside from a brain!)?

            When you activate the tool; note the message in the Status Bar at the bottom-left of the screen.

                An opportunity:

                Multiple links to same object.

                What I am trying to do: link several different types of information to the same object, like spec sheet, color selections, delivery schedules, maps, etc...
                I would like them to display in the pop-up that the current 'links' ruby provides and then give the user the choice of which to select.

                ArcView (GIS) and AutoCad have such functionality with their 'link' option, but I do not seem to be able to do the same with SU at this time.

                Any idea on what I can do?

                  It would be fairly straightforward to do this as a plugin, you just need to find someone who needs a plugin to write. Maybe we should develop a plugin request list for authors looking for some fun challenges πŸ˜„

                    as someone in the field of education, this pluggin is very useful especially when you are using your sketchup model as educational tool. I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it.. thank you ... πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘

                        Chris:

                        Creating a 'plug-in request site' would be an excellent addition.

                        Let's start with the 'multiple links to a single object' display!

                            It works as described, it is light and efficient

                            but

                            you have to press the control key while you click to execute the link
                            and
                            only click to set the link

                            would it be possible to do it the other way?

                            just click to execute the link and ctrl+click to set the ling

                            to make it more simple for the final user, who is more likely to simply click on an object in the model

                            pressing the control key suits better to the one who is setting the link, because it is more complicated and he is the one who is supposed to know

                              Awesome plugin,surprised I haven't come across this earlier. Will be using this to refer to componentry manuals used in SU models. IE: if I have a particular electric motor in a drawing I can link to the motor's manual to see any additional specifications.

                              Great work!

                              Just some stuff I do with Sketchup.

                                Didier has agreed that I might update some of his tools in the PluginStrore to be compatible with v2014/2015...
                                Please get the latest version of 'Links Manager' from the PluginStore http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Links_Manager

                                    Thank you for this great plugin. πŸ‘
                                    Is it possible to store the links inside a component, so that the links aren't lost when the component is inserted to a new file? This would be a very handy feature.

                                      Excuse me please. Ctrl.-click on Mac does not run. What I do wrong? Has anyone an example file?

                                          Hi Joerg,

                                          Please check if the attached RB file (which must be located in your main plugins folder) is exactly the same as yours.

                                          Also check if the content of your 'DBUR_LinksManager' folder is the same as the below image:

                                          LinksManagerContent.jpg

                                          Please report if it still doesn't load


                                          DBUR_LinksManager.rb

                                          DB
