      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 :

        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.

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

            These are some strings not included in the original language file

            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.

                        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.

                        😒

                          Your results are fine. πŸ˜„ πŸ˜•
                          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...

                            @lee,
                            If the error message is "file not found", I do not think it is due to the content of the file itself. But maybe I'm wrong...

                            Do not have many other ideas to solve the issue. Here are 2 options you may try :
                            -delete the file 3darcstudiotreeloader.rb
                            -delete the directory 3darcstudiotree and all its content

                            • run SU
                            • reinstall the plugin from Sketchucation pluginstore
                              and see if you got the same error

                            If the problem is still there, copy all the files that are in the plugins directory somewhere else (to be able to put them back later).
                            Delete all the files in the plugin directory except 3darcstudiotreeloader.rb
                            Run SU and test

                            Just to be sure, when you move from SU8 to SU2013, did you reinstalled your plugins or just copied the files from SU8 to SU2013 ? cause I have seen some errors linked to copy of old SU8 files into the SU2013 plugin dir.

                              I removed everything from plugins menu but 3darcstudiotree folder and 3darcstudiotreeloader.rb and plugin was loaded adn working.
                              When extensions.rb is back in plugin folder, error is back too.

                                There should NOT be a extensions.rb file in your 'Plugins' folder at all !

                                When SketchUp is installed it adds 3 files into the 'Tools' folder - which it needs and which it expects to be in there...

                                extensions.rb langhandler.rb sketchup.rb

                                These 3 files should never appear in the 'Plugins' folder.

                                Check that they are in the 'Tools' folder, and then remove the rogue ones in 'Plugins'...

                                In SketchUp version 8 there are also several other rb files in 'Tools' - unlike v2013, which should only those 3 rb files in 'Tools' with su_... versions of these extras in 'Plugin's.
                                The v8 extras will include.

                                dynamiccomponents.rb sandboxtools.rb shadowstringsfix.rb SolarNorth.rb

                                Again, in v8 these rb files should not appear in 'Plugins' - they belong on 'Tools'...

                                Looks like you installation is messed up... πŸ˜’

                                  Yes, i guess my plugin folder is a little messed up, extensions.rb and sketchup.rb were there. I remove them and everything is fine now, plugin is loaded and works.

                                  Thank you for support.

                                      You say you "installed the .rbz file" How did you do that? It appears that you didn't do it correctly and/or you haven't got sufficient privileges to add things to the Plugins folder.

                                          Huh?

                                          Did you find extensions.rb in the Plugins folder? If so, that's not where it is supposed to be. It's supposed to be in Tools. If you find extensions.rb in the Tools folder AND the Plugins folder, delete it from Plugins. I wonder what plugin you installed put extensions.rb in the wrong place.

                                            There are three rb files that should never be in the Plugins folder.
                                            They belong in the Tools folder, where SketchUp puts them as you install it.
                                            They are:
                                            extensions.rb sketchup.rb langhandler.rb
