        You are somewhat cryptic in your error reporting...
        I suspect that you are not installing the files properly.
        Read the tool's download page again.
        If you have v8 pro then the Preferences > Extensions > Installer tool will easily extract what's needed from the rbz archive and put it in the correct locations for you.
        Note that this is an Extension and might require that it is one-time activated from 'Extensions', you might also need to restart SketchUp to get everything to auto-load the first time...
        ALSO the tool needs a TT support Lib folder.
        This is clearly explained on that page, there is a link to its download page...
        Follow the instructions for the installation of that Lib too...
        You'll probably have to restart SketchUp after the install to get everything working...

        On a MAC the correct 'plugins' folder is the one at the root HD level NOT the 'users' one - this has been discussed in several threads in great detail...

        To make installing tools' files and their support subfolders etc thomthom has also made a free Simple-Plugins-Installer, available via the Plugins Index. Once this is installed you can then easily install files and subfolders from rbz/zip archives and also individual rb/rbs files, without worrying about finding the correct folders etc...

          What exactly "isn't working"?
          Did you install the rb file correctly?

                  Outstanding tool . It took a little bit to figure out how to install on my MAC. What i found to be the problem was i did not have TT_Lib2 - 2.6.0.zip downloaded in my plugin folder once i loaded it i then loaded the solid inspector and it works great.

                    Hello All

                    I downloaded the Solid Inspector plugin on my Mac and it wasn't loading.. After some looking around I realized that I had put the plugin here:
                    /Applications/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp.app/Contents/Plugins

                    Where it should have been put here:
                    /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins/

                    Now it's working fine.

                    Hopefully that help some of the Mac users out there who are having issues..

                    Antony

                      This tool works great if you are trying to fix it yourself... I found this other plugin in the ruby library depot that not only identifies the problems, but corrects them too!

                      http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=793

                      worked for me first try...

                          Hi,
                          I confirm the problem comes from the wine install somehow. I install the plugin on a mac the same way as with the linux and it works perfectly.
                          I will ask for some help in the wine community.

                          Did you get anywhere? I'm getting similar trouble running it in SU8 under Crossover (the commercialized Wine). On startup, I get a dialog titled "Load Errors", saying:

                          Error Loading File tt_solid_inspector.rb
                          uninitialized constant TT::System

                          When I press OK, the entire SU viewport goes black. I did try the (possibly outdated) advice to run dos2unix on the *.rb files of the plugin, but that doesn't help--in fact, it causes SU to report a BugSplat after I press OK on the Load Errors dialog.

                            Did you install TT_Lib2? Linked under Requirements.

                              Many thanks for this. New user breaking in and this worked beautifully. 2" whisker on vertex of 75 ft. tower found instantly - love it.

                                    Hi ,

                                    I have a mac osx 10.6.8 running Snow Leopard. I have Dropped the downloaded Solid Inspector ruby scripts into HD/Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup 8/Plugins

                                    When I restart sketchup 8 I get This message:

                                    Error Loading File tt_solid_inspector.rb
                                    no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rb

                                    Can somebody tell me how to install Solid Inspector into my Mac?

                                    Thank you,
                                    Sean

                                      Go back to the first post and follow the link to the required TT_Lib2 - under the "Requirement" header, right above the Download button.

                                        What is Solid Inspector telling me?

                                        Sorry I am new to SketchUp but really having problems with making Solids.

                                        http://gettheworkdone.net/images/sketchup/SolidTools1.png

                                        What do I do to fix the problems?

                                        What specifically do the colors represent?

                                        Thanks,
                                        Ralph

                                          The red colour is just indicating the current issue - you can cycle through the different issues using tab. The camera should zoom to the problem area.

                                          The highlighed areas either means there is a hole or internal faces. You need to correct these before the object can be considered a solid.
