Appreciate the help, but do to:

• Most of these plugins just dont deliver function advertised
  (tesselation of a rectangle = thick line....give me a break)
  (Sometimes they work....sometimes they just plain crash sketchup)
• Install process is a mess
  (since names are unique, it might be good to delete old copies or even ask user
  if old copies should be deleted at install....theres a thought)
  (might be nice that if there are dependent plugins to check or hey even stall them)
• etc.

I will brute force things as much as heavenly possible and assume all plugins are unstable.

I will say Fredos, CF, and some others are stable and do deliver as advertised (even though
its not the actual function I wanted to accomplish....i.e. I recognize the difference between a plugin that does something else than what I wanted vs a plugin that is a mess).

Also, its fair to say I am not a power user...but am pretty decent at this so far...see attachment

That said...good luck to all

Vojo,
you may consider yourself as a "pretty decent" sketchup user,
but you are "pretty indecent" towards people who would do all to help you, even if you continue to insult them
do you even have a "pro" version of Sketchup? a paid one?
and how many free plugins have you installed?
how dare you complain?
you most probably have messed up installation yourself (I have been guilty of that)
give people like Thomthom the chance to help you
i.e. by taking a screenshot of your plugins folder
they will
as Thomthom did for me, within 12 hrs
after that, reward them with some Belgian beer !
else, get a life
Frank

There is nothing here I can use to help you with whatever installation problem you have. All you say it that the installation is a mess - but you completely fail to details what or fill in any of the information I requested to be able to provide any sensible feedback to assist you.
"tesselation of a rectangle"? How does this relate to this plugin?
Crash? Is that part of your installation problems?

Do you actually want help to resolve your installation problem or are you just on a blind rant? I understood you where not pleased about plugin in general in your first post, but I tried to make an effort to help you. But it appear you are set to not accept any help or make any constructive efforts what so ever... until then, not a whole lot I can do.

I have sketchup 7. I downloaded image opacity and this file to the plug-ins folder, but when I restarted sketchup I got an error message:

Error Loading File tt_image_opacity.rb
No such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rb

Do you know how I can fix this?

If you only downloaded TT_Lib2 to the Plugins folder, you didn't install it correctly. Since you are using an ancient version of SketchUp that can't deal with RBZ files, rename this file to .zip, extract the content of the zip file to the Plugins directory without changing the file structure and restart SketchUp.

How or why did you come to this erroneous conclusion?

Works fine on all the Mac's I run.

Do you get any errors? Description of the problem helps more than rolling eyes.

Hi Tom,

I am using win8 64-bit and the Su2013 pro.

I've installed TT_LIB2 but the plug-ins are up-to-date when I TT_LIB2 2.7.1 dated 19 Feb 13 plug-in.

I am running sketchup as an administrator.

This issue help can Are you?

Thank you.

[tt_su]

I'm sorry, but what was the question?

[enigmatic]

TT_LIB2 installed but appears to be in 2.7.1

[TIG]

Have you downloaded and installed http://sketchucation.com/resources/pluginstore?pln=TT_Lib
The latest version... v2.8.3

Are you sure you have FULL read/write permissions to your Plugins folder ?
As an admin select that folder's icon, right-click, context-menu, Properties, Security, Edit - give every user/group [you] listed FULL permissions... Apply/OK

[enigmatic]

Matter is already made but I have made one more time. Did not do what may be?

[tt_su]

You might have ended up with files in VirtualStore. If you open your Plugins folder, is there a button that says "Compatibility Files' or something similar (in whatever language your OS is)?

[enigmatic]

I think I tried to explain it, but could not tell. Sorry for my english .

Support for LibFredo's update checker has been removed. Install using the Extension Warehouse or the SCF Plugin Store to maintain a list of updates. They will also let you install updates, not just check.
