[Plugin] 3D Text Editor
-
With admin powers...
Select the Plugins folder icon.Right-click
Context-menu
Properties
Security
Edit...Ensure everyone in the list has FULL permissions ticked.
Apply/OK
The permissions to subfolders within the 'Program Files' tree, of everyone - including admins - are limited by Windows by default. You simply need to reset them to FULL, otherwise you will not be able to add/change files into that folder - although you think you have !
Also while you are at it...
Select the SketchUp.exe file icon [in the same folder as the Plugins folder].
Right-click
Context-menu
Properties
Compatibility
Always run as administrator... should be tickedApply/OK
The 'Compatibility Files' issue arises if you have limited security permissions to a folder - like Plugins - and Windows [weirdly] lets you think you have installed actually the file[s] and subfolders etc, but in fact it has put them into a VirtualStore - so if you have a 'Compatibility Files...' link/button in the top bars of your Windows Explorer window for a folder like Plugins then that's a sign of you having insufficient permissions to add/change files; click on the link to see what you think was installed but is squirreled away by the OS

Hm... I've not had time to look at this yet, but TIG's comment about the font list not being populated could be a clue. Maybe IE11 had removed the MS hack I used to get the font list...
The %20 instead of a space is just IE transforming the path string into a URL string. Nothing wrong there.

Edit...Bad news.
I'v make everyone in the list has full permissions ticked, and still, it doesn't work

For some reason I get error when I start the plug-in. Everything else works, but it will not load the fonts. I get a java error is in the TT Lib2 in the webdialog/base.js It says that Unable to ger property "count" of undefined or null reference. Line 115 Char 9
Is anyone else experienced that, and if there a fix for it?
Thanks!

What operating system? What SketchUp version? Help us help you. Please complete your profile.

I'm going to guess that you have Windows 8.x? I'm getting some reports that it's not working there. I'm not sure why - it might be Windows 8.x preventing me from using the font list or it could be IE11. Either way - I've not had time to investigate in detail yet.

The VirtualStore warning - did you follow its instructions? Move the files from Virtual Store to the proper Plugins folder?
-
You unintalled TT_Lib2? Then 3D Text Editor wont' work. (But yet you indicate it does? This could be a result of the files in the VirtualStore.)
-
Regarding the Javascript error, do you have Windows 8? I've gotten reports from Windows 8 users that this plugin doesn't work for them. But I'm not sure if it's Window 8 or IE11...

1 - yes, i moved the files in the plugin folder of Sketchup
2 - uninstalled and re-install TT_LibĀ²
3 - Windows 7I will try few things to fix that. Thanks all of you for your replies

-
Windows 7 eyh... then IE11 might be the culprit. I might be lucky and be able to force the webdialog to user IE10 compatibility mode.
-
That's what i thought too. I uninstall IE11 and all work as before! I don't need it anyway, i prefer firefox & chrome ^^
-
Ah! Right. Thanks for confirming that. I only hope that forcing a compatibility IE10 mode will return the use of the font-list.
-
IE11 also just installed itself on my Win7 PC and I confirm that your 3d-text tool is now indeed broken - these a js error when it can't compile the font-list and 'count' it...
-
I have managed to reproduce the issue - and it was indeed an IE11 issue. When I force IE10 compatibility it becomes usable again. This is however something I need to fix in TT_Lib2 - so keep an eye out for an update soon.
-
Updated TT_Lib 2.9.5 will fix the issue.

The same error is happening to me, can you help me troubleshoot?
"TT_LibĀ² detected that some of the files in SketchUp's plugin folder has ended up

This has been explained repeatedly here. You currently do not have full permissions to the Plugins folder. Edit those permissions and install the plugin.

"TT_LibĀ² detected that some of the files in SketchUp's plugin folder has ended up

Move the files to the real Plugins folder.
