        Thanks Wikii. I always wondered what I was doing wrong with the Follow Me tool, now I know. It was the tool itself.

        Excellent upgrade!

          Just wanted to say thank you for the plugin. Even if I don't use it much it's been great fun playing with it the past few minutes!

              I have had trouble getting this ruby to load in SU8 pro, which i see a few others have previously screamed/posted. I have used thomthom's installer plugin as well as just placing the .rb in the appropriate plugin folder. I've had success loading .rbz, but not .rb in general. This .rb is just particularly needed at the moment. Both come back with the error below. Input appreciated.

              Thanks,

                Is that either, the only plugin you have installed - or the first file alphabetically in your Plugins folder?

                I'm guessing it's either one of them and that the file is missing require 'sketchup.rb' at the beginning of the file. Check the file in notepad, and insert that line at the top of the file if it's missing.

                  thank you thomthom,

                  I tried typing that in at a few different beginning locations to no avail, even compared it to one of you .rb.

                  Unfortunately operator error (me) is in play. With that said i've uploaded the .rb (is that kosher to do with someone else's .rb? i'm sorry for not knowing protocol here) and if someone was able to determine where that require 'sketchup.rb i would be eternally grateful.
                  [mod=:3stt16al]I've removed that FAK.rb attachment, as it's already available in the first post here and such duplicates simply lead to confusion...

                    As thomthom said, you are missing a line of code require 'sketchup.rb' which should be on a line on its own at the very beginning of the file [indeed any file using some of sketchup's own methods like file_loaded? should include this line of code].

                    So... check the FAK.rb file by opening it in Notepad [or any other plain-text editor, BUT never a wordprocessor!], and insert that simple line at the very top [include it exactly as the red text shown above - with the two enclosing '' around the second part etc].

                    On a restart SketchUp should no longer throw up the error...

                    Incidentally, if you had more scripts loading the chances are the 'sketchup.rb' would have already been 'required' by one of them, and the error would never have manifested - because once a file has been loaded a later 'require' skips over it... That's probably why this omission in this script has gone unnoticed for so long...

                        Example with standard follow-me (c) and FAK (d)...

                            Obviously it does work for many people!
                            If you explain better what doesn't work, what's installed, what's changed etc... we might find what's wrong.

                                Hi everyone,

                                I am trying to draw a handrail for "2 quart tournant" stairs ( don't know the word in english 😕 ) since a bit.
                                When i saw this plugin i thought a miracle will come, but actually after i downloaded and installed it...nothing happened !
                                I select my path and my shape and then click on the FAK pluginin my plugin menu, but nothing happens.
                                Where am i wrong ? What do i don't understand ?

                                Please help, this handrail is making me crazy !

                                Thanks !!

                                  The profile and path need to be in the same context. Put the profile into the paths group and try again. Your path isn't continuous either, there is a slight problem in the top straight section, easy fix, delete it and redraw it making sure to connect properly with the curve.

                                    Thank you soo much for answering so quickly !
                                    I tried to do what you explain, but nothing happens again.
                                    I may not redraw and fix well the straight sections, but i don't know how to do it properly.
                                    Would you help me again ? could you join the .skp file you did for me to see how you did ?
                                    Thanks again !

                                      I even tried to connect the lines with the Weld ruby script, then put the profile into the path context, but it dosen't work.

                                            Why does your profile say 2013, I checked that before I saved it.
