Newbie to Ruby

I've been with SU since nearly day one, but new to Ruby.

I'm trying simply to create geometry based on points from selected geometry. I know how to parse through select objects, but can't seem to figure out how to extract the Start and End points of a selected Edge. Not sure this is the correct subforum for this. TIA!

Assuming the reference to the Edge is e1

sp = e1.start.position ep = e1.end.position

I have been using Sketchup for a long time but I cant figure out how to load Solid Inspector.

It seem that I have loaded Simple Installer correctly because I can see it in the plugins drop down menu. I believe I installed solid inspector the same way and I can see it in library/application support/sketchup/plugins.
(see attached screen shot)

However, it does not appear in the plugins drop down menu.

When I open Sketchup I get this error message:

Error Loading File tt_solid_inspector-2.rb
no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rbError Loading File tt_solid_inspector.rb
no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rbError Loading File tt_solid_inspector.rb
no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rb

I am using a Mac OSX 10.6.8 with Snow Leopard and Sketchup 8.

I have some complex components which I cant figure out how to make solid so I would really appreciate some help.

Thank you in advance.

Did you ALSO install TT_Lib2 ?????????????

Obviously solid inspector has a library dependancy on TT_Lib2.

Did you read the solid inspector post for dependancies, and install all those needed ?
