[Plugin][$] 3D Tree Maker - New version 1.10.14

Oxer · 3 Feb 2014, 12:28

Hi,
I done that you say me but it doesn't work. I have uninstalled the rest of the plugin (conflict possibility) but it continues the problem. The Plugins folder's and the 3darcstudiotree folder have full permissions.
Do have other Mac users the same problem?

Mac OSX 10.9.1 & SU2013

PS. I sent you the Spanish Language file by PM.

EDIT: I have opened a old personal vine tree (previous version) and the Configuration Tree through Contextual Menu (right click with tree selected) works. It appears this text in Drescription Tree: "tree converted from old " but all work fine.

Installed new version from Plugin Store, got an error.

Hi Lee05,
Currently 3D Tree Maker can only be setup into the Plugins folder of Sketchup, and cant be installed in other directory with AdditionalPluginFolders.
Seems the same issue than Bob James

Oxer,
As I understand, you correctly got the new tree webdialog.
Then you select a tree and clic on "Ok"
Here nothing happens.
Then if you clic somewhere on the model(do not clic escape or another toolbox at this time as it will exit from tree tool and go back to the other tool) to place the tree, still nothing drawn.
Does the Sketchup status text (on the left bottom) display a message from Tree Maker, like "Clic to place tree, Esc to cancel" or other message ?

Can you confirm when you open the Ruby console before calling "New Tree", that you got no error displayed in the ruby console ?

Does not seems to be an installation problem, so maybe I need to make a "debug" version with some logs in this case, but I will need a little time to prepare this.

Oxer,
I made a test on my PC changing show_modal by show, and got the same problem. So I suspect this is linked to the fact that modals webdialog are not working the same on PC and Mac.
I will need to get advice from experts on this in the developer forum.
Will come back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks for the reply!!
I sent you a PM two hours ago but it's in the Outbox still.

ppoublan · 4 Feb 2014, 10:35

Oxer, (and Mac Users)
Just published in the Sketchucation Plugin Store a new version that should fix the problem of nothing happens after "New Tree..." webdialog.
But as I have no Mac available, if Mac users may test and give feedback ?

Yes, it works now on Mac.
I tried to send you a PM yesterday, but it's in the Outbox still, so I put here the Spanish Language Translation.

Hi Pascal,
the plugin is setup into the Plugins folder of Sketchup, as installed by
plugin store.
Error still the same.

Hi Lee,
Looks like Sketchup does not see the file.
Check the permissions as described here : http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=56005
Could you provide a screen capture of your Plugins/3darcstudiotree directory to check the files are there.
You should have something like this :

Lee05 · 4 Feb 2014, 13:52

Hello Pascal,
Here's the print screen. In my opinion the plugin is properly installed.

Hi Lee,
I do not understand why the file is not loaded by SU if it exists in the right place.
To see what happens from SU, can you run this commande from the Ruby Console :
File.exists?(Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins/3darcstudiotree")+"/3darcstudiotree.rbs")
Does it return true ?
You can also make a try to run SU as Administrator.

Thanks a lot Oxer for that work and pointing out some strings are missing. I will add them to the code in order to be able to localize them as well.

I run command in Ruby Console, it returns true.
SU is running as administrator, error still there.

I've installed home the plugin, here works fine.

hi Toni,
So it works fine now ?
You copied files to Plugins/3darcstudiotree folder to solve it ?
Just want to know if it was a pb of security rights or files beeing in the right folder.

Hi Pascal,
3D Tree Maker works fine on computer from home, there I've installed it from SU plugin store, I did'nt change anything, just leave it how installed itself.

On my office computer I still get that error. SU runs as administrator, everything is at it's place and security settings are the same as for all other plugins.
When running the command in ruby console returns true also.

Have you read and fixed things as this?
http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=508319#p508319

Also your SketchUp installation path looks a bit 'non-standard' ?
Did you allow the SketchUp-installer to choose the path or did you 'customize' it ?
To check where SketchUp thinks Plugins should be and where they are please type or copy+paste these lines of code in the Ruby Console + <enter>

p = Sketchup.find_support_file('Plugins')
should return the path to you plugins folder.

$LOAD_PATH
should return an array of paths, including the same one to the Plugins folder [p].

File.exist?(File.join(p, '3darcstudiotree'))
should return true if that folder exists in Plugins.

File.exist?(File.join(p, '3darcstudiotreeloader.rb'))
should return true if that file exists in Plugins.

Lee05 · 5 Feb 2014, 14:34

Hi TIG,

I have read that topic and everything looks ok.
The installation path for SU is a little non-standard on both PC home and office but only at office I got the error. The installation was made from Sketchup Plugin Store v.2.5.1 as other plugins that work fine.

I run the lines of code in Ruby Console it returns at it should, see image.

TIG · 5 Feb 2014, 15:16

@Lee05

Your results are fine.
Now recheck that Plugins folder's properties > security against the FULL permissions, as mentioned in my previous post...

The main rbs code is encrypted so we can't see exactly what it's doing...

The tool perhaps writes some temporary data files that it has a permission issue with ?

Can I suggest you contact the maker of the tool directly...
