      :oops: I didn't realize it was under the FredoTools submenu... it used to be different right? Or am I imagining?

      Thanks for the help. Now I have this oft-used function again!

      Well! It is like this because the real estate of the contextual menu is precious.
      But of course, it is less efficient.

            They do work. Update your Fredo6 Library file.

                    Fredo,

                    I have installed Sketchup 2013 Make on a Linux instance and it seems to be working well. Unfortunately I have a problem loading FredoTools 1.2a. The error message I receive is:

                    Error Loading File C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2013/Plugins/FREDOTOOLS_Dir_12/__loader.rb
                    can't convert nil into String

                    I have tried disabling my other plugins to isolate the cause and then adding them back one at a time and when FredoTools is enabled I start having this problem. I'm happy to assist you in any tracing, since I'm aware that SketchUp itself is not supported on Linux. This is a brand new install and all plugins packages have been downloaded within the past 24 hours.

                    I am also encountering the same problem in Sketchup 8 on the same machine.

                    Kind Regards,

                    Tom

                      @Tom

                      Ensure that the SketchUp Plugins folder AND all of its contents [subfolders/files] have FULL Read/Write security permissions set.
                      On Windows existing contents typically adopt the settings of their parent.
                      Properties > Security > Edit... each user/group in the list > FULL... Apply/OK

                      On a MAC you need to deliberately tell the OS to apply the changes to contents.
                      On Linux it may be the same...

                      Also set Sketchup.exe to 'always run as administrator' [if you can] ...

                      Do you have that .rb file in the named subfolder
                      C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2013/Plugins/FREDOTOOLS_Dir_12/__loader.rbIf not, then it suggests you had limited permissions and the have not installed the files as you think you have...

                        Tom,

                        Strange message. Not sure it is related to your Linux installation.

                        Could you check that the file __loader.rb contains a single line:
                        Traductor::Plugin.myplugin('FredoTools').effective_load

                        Fredo

                          TIG, The __loader.rb does exist in the .../FREDOTOOLS_Dir_12/ folder and has it's permissions set to -rw-r--r-- and all other *.rb files have the same permissions.

                          Fredo, The __loader.rb file does contain the line:

                          Traductor::Plugin.myplugin('FredoTools').effective_load

                          ...and nothing else.

                          If I rename the 000_AdditionalPluginFolders.rb file the error appears to go away, which seems like an acceptable workaround. I am unable to use WebDialog for that add-on for somereason. All other WebDialogs are working, but that one just displays raw HTML, but does not generate any exceptions other than when FredoTools is loaded, curious.

                          Thanks,

                          Tom

                            Fredo,

                            I stand corrected renaming the 000_AdditionalPluginsFolder.rb did not resolve the problem, but it did expose a different/extended message:

                            Error Loading File C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2013/Plugins/FREDOTOOLS_Dir_12/__loader.rb
                            can't convert nil into String
                            Error Loading File ZLoader__GhostComp.rb
                            can't convert nil into String

                                  Very strange.
                                  Can come from 2 possible causes:

                                  1. MaxwellFire modifies the SU model and the texturing (does it?), and then ThruPaint or MaxWellFire script crashes when it is used (could be related to observers)

                                  2. or there is a more traditional plugin conflict

                                  Could you send me a model where you do the rendering, but just before you try to apply the TrhruPaint texturing.

                                  Fredo

                                    There is no model - just a simple rectangle, then push-pull to a 3D box.

                                      That was just in case MaxwellFire modifies the texture. So just the model after you do the rendering.

                                      Otherwise, this may simply come from a plugin conflict, either at code level, or due to handling of observers in MaxwellFire.

                                        The material was just default sketchup material. This file was rendered with Maxwell:

                                          I get NO crash when using ThurPaint.

                                          So it must be another conflict between scripts (There was one for Vray Beta 1.6).

                                          Maybe some other users have found a similar problem.

                                            Hi, Tom,

                                            I have the same problem on my nature windows machine and on linux/ubuntu machine through wine. The workaround is very simple. I moved all Fredo6 plugins to default sketchup plugins folder and now all they works as expected. Probably problem occurs on AdditionalPluginFolders.rb level.
