Help updating a SU8 script to Make
-
Nope, no secret, just and oversight.
This is where I found the script originally: http://www.woodworlds.com/downloads/Free-Plugins-For-Woodworking/K2WS-Woodworking-Joints/
I think you can see the script without being logged in.
If not, I also found it here:
http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=891Its by the author KTKOH here on Sketchucation, but I cant seem to locate the actual script here.
I apologize for the oversight of not including the name or location in my original post.
Thank you in advance.

The script does not load or respond, (not sure of the correct terminology). In SU8 after I would select the script, the UI would begin asking me for different parameters. Does do it Make. I opened the ruby console and I have enclosed a cap below of what Make says,

The plugin will work just fine in Make but it appears you haven't installed it correctly. How about giving us a screen capture of the Plugins folder?
I'm curious about something. Why does this problem with this one plugin really bring your work to a halt?

Here you go, I also included a shot of the unzipped package, as is.

What's in the K2WS_Tools folder in Plugins? the first error message indicates that the loader is looking for K2_ToolsDowelJoint.rb in the K2WS_Tools folder but it isn't finding it there.
-
I have attached the entire contents of the folder. At the time when I used the ruby console to look this up I was only able to select ONE of the 8 or so .rb files in the folder.

Just so you know, I downloaded it from your second link, unzipped it to my plugins folder, opened SU2013 and it works perfectly. Win7 64bit

BOX: I have the same system as you, and still no good!

Ok I figured it out and thought I would share my resolution here with all of you. I had my old SU8 Script folder on an external disk, after BOX's comment I knew there was something wrong. So I took the script for SU8, copied it to my Make plugins folder. Fired up Make and saw the plugin under tools, however I still could not load it. Opened ruby console and got this message: Ruby Console output-
Error: #<Errno::EACCES: [highlight=#ffff00:3607xdi4]Permission denied[/highlight:3607xdi4] - C:/Program Files/Sketchup/Sketchup2013/yada, yada KW2S
looked this up here at Sketchucation, found this: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=35278
Went to Sketchup2013> Plugins> Right Click, Sharing> Available to Everyone
Went to Sketchup2013> Plugins> K2WS_Tools, Right Click, Sharing> Available to Everyone (even though I'm the only one on this computer) reloaded Make and Viola, it was there, ready to use. Now I know that this is a "windows permission" problem, and I need to further investigate this. For the record, this has not happened with a single other plugin, but I took a shot and it worked. Now if this happens to someone else, at least they have a starting point, if I'm the only "newbie" this ever happened to, its ok because I learned two important things
Lessons learned: learn to use lots of native as it assists me in truly understanding the
program (not that you should never use plugins)I just think a better
understanding of the program is key in choosing what plugins work for
the individual and which don't and whyRead more of this guys tutorials: [http://www.finewoodworking.com/profile/DaveRichards](http://www.finewoodworking.com/profile/DaveRichards)And in the words of Vincent VanGogh: In spite of everything I shall rise again: I will take up my pencil, which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing.

Ah.... So there were several things in the way. I suspect you wouldn't have needed to reload Make to get this all to work. Now that it is, you should be in great shape.
Thanks for the plug, too.
