      It must be a MAC related problem, you are both running on MAC ?
      Any other Mac users with problems ❓ ❓ ❓ ❓ ❓

      I have no explanation. For me it works on SU8 and SU2013. But i can't test it on mac.
      Can you test the following : disable all the other plugins ❓

      If this doesn't help, can you test the following file : replace PiGa_RichSection.rb (in directory ..SketchUp..\Plugins) by the file below, and tell me if it works ❓

      Thanks in advance.

      @pgarmyn
      done what you adviced
      & no more error on app startup
      but ...
      at short test looks like that it is not working (add new section result nothing)
      😞

        Done as advised? What did you do : Uninstalled plugins, other file installed, or both?
        RichSection only creats sectionfaces for groups that produce a closed section.

        Did you activate the extension in 'preferences' ?
        Is there a menu in plugins/RichSection?
        Open the ruby panel : what is printed in the ruby-panel?

          It looks like my wish-list plugin, but i cannot get it to load.

          If it helps, i am stuck with the Italian SU8 on a partially locked down office pc, partially as i can install plugins but can't update.

                  Sorry, you are perfectly right.
                  I am working on a windows xp machine, pentium 4, 2gb.
                  I weep daily for its lack of power, but alas, my place of work will not let me bring my own laptop.

                      ok (following on mac issue)
                      1./ as adviced I replaced only the file you forwarded "PiGa_RichSection.rb"
                      2./ then no more loading error on startup
                      3./ than RichSection is in the palet and plugins menu
                      4./ than when clicking or choosing from menu - "create richsection" in rubby panel there is:
                      "Error: #<TypeError: can't convert nil into String>
                      (eval):917:in +' (eval):917:in l_ctrl'

                            How did you install. I know there are problems with Mac, but it should work with windows.
                            The best way is to use de Sketchucation Plugin manager, Witch can install, disable and uninstall plugins.

                            If you didn't used the Sketchucation plugin manager : delete the file PiGa_RichSection.rb in the Sketchup/plugins directory (optional but not necessary the directory with the same name).

                              MAC ore Windows, apparently, ther is a compatibility problem with MAC
                              If Windows :
                              Did you creates the section with the most left icon ?
                              Open the ruby panel. Are ther any error messages ?
                              If your PC is slow, wait for the creation of the views (do not use the mousebuttons until done).

                                  Parameters for "cut color the same as the object" :

                                  • Set 'RichSection material name' to "prefix+materialname, default"
                                  • Set 'RichSection materials, prefix' to "" (empty)

                                  neat.
                                  i tried a quick one in indigo with glass, metal, and wood..

                                  [attachment=0:1ylc6qf1]<!-- ia0 -->section3.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:1ylc6qf1]

                                  i didn't let it render as long as it would need but it shows that it would work in an actual render..

                                  glass- one solid sphere (rendered as a solid piece of glass)
                                  metal- sphere inside a sphere (rendered as if it were a bowl)
                                  wood- i resized the texture on the facing side.. the cut shows the original size.. probably not good to use this technique on renders requiring high quality texturing/mapping (as in- that block would require end grain etc.)

                                  Good news for Thea users, Tomasz has been made aware of this and will support this in an upcoming release.

                                      Sketchup.version_number doesn't work that well with the recent version number scheme of SketchUp. It's better to parse Sketchup.version.

                                        Thanks x 1000, i will correct that this evening, to get it working for Mac.
                                        But it's not the only conflict in my code.
                                        My Mac experience is quite limited, actually zero.
                                        Maybee we must start a Post listing all restrictions and problems in relation to Mac, Windows, ....?
