Can you post screenshots for Fredo to check...
Of the Plugins folder showing the installed files/subfolder and the contents of the subfolder itself...

@chris87, @ewan

It may simply be a bug.

I'll come back with some instructions in order to figure out what it could be.

What would help me is that you tell me what you see in the contextual menu when you are in this screen (a screenshot is OK).

Chris,

I mean when you are within TopoShaper and have the display of your screenshot, right click and tell me what is the contextual menu.

I'm getting a warning when starting SU 2013

Error loading File bootstrap_TopoShaper.rb
uninitialized constant bTopoShaper;;T6

I have tried reinstalling and even checked that bootstrap_TopoShaper is present in plugin folder.

Still get the error.

Is this the path?

C:\Program Files (x86)\SketchUp\SketchUp 2013\Plugins\TOPOSHAPER_Dir_10

Yes.

@solo

Strange, because there is nowhere bTopoShaper in my code (I checked).

I hope it does not come from a corruption of the files or the zip archive.

Could you go to the LibFredo6 Trace Log and check if you see an error. If so, it is usually more documented.

Thanks

That's a typo, there is no b.

How do I do the libFredo6 trace thing?

go to C:\Users#####\AppData\Local\Temp

Look for LibFredoTrace-##-#########.txt

Go to menu Windows > LibFredo6 Settings... > Trace Log files.

You'll get a dialog box. Select the current or most recent trace file.

Do an expand and check if there are statements in Red.

You can then export the file from there and post it.

But then, do you get the message box at startup of SU?

Yup, see image.

fredo6 · 24 May 2013, 05:30

Very weird. It looks like you have a probleme with installation of LibFredo6, which the trace does not show.

I have to check and come back

If you want to say that another particular contextual menu exists
he/it doesn't function for me

Hi Fredo,

Thanks again for the awesome plugin (as usual). I was wondering if you (or anybody else) could have a look at this topo to see where I've gone wrong with it. We graded this in the office, and the whole thing is working great except for the rear portion, where there is a bit of a sheer cliff. I wanted to see if you have any thoughts on how I could approach this area on TopoShaper, or whether there's a better way to use it, or if there's something wrong with the terrain itself.

Thanks!

Matt

Matt,

I had a look. In the area you mention, the issue is that your contours correspond to an overhang. This is not something TopoShaper can handle correctly.

More generally, I think you can do with less contours, as anyway the shape of the terrain is driven by the grid resolution.
