      can i use the plugin toggle units in commercial use; i mean i will not sell it, i want to use it in my design, i am interior designer and i use sketchup pro 8, to designs designs for clients so is it allowed to me to use it or no?
      thank you
      waiting your feedback
      Obviously you can't 'sell' someone else's creation, but the use of most of the forum's 'free' tools in your 'business' is acceptable, unless there is something specifically in a tool's 'notices' saying you can't... In this case it's 'All Rights Reserved... Free License...' etc but with no other limitations that I can see...
      Having said that it would be nice to offer an author a modest PayPal donation - after all if you are making money from a tool then sharing some of it would only seem fair... "What goes around comes around..."
      Matt666 doesn't have a donation button on the 'SketchUcation Plugin Store', but this doesn't prevent you sending him a Private Message and asking the question... If he declines you are no worse off, if he accepts you might feel better in your heart...

        Hello there,
        I just installed SU 2014,
        After downloading Matts Toggle_Units.rb using the sketchucation download-Manager I get the following Error message:

        Fehler beim Laden der Datei Matt_Toggle_Units.rb
        Error: #<SyntaxError: C:/Users/Architekt/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/Matt_Toggle_Units.rb:62: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting ')'
        Sketchup.register_extension (ext,true)
        ^>
        Any Idea how to fix this ?
        thank`s for your comments,
        Uli

            You should try to contact Matt by email or something, so that he can fix it.

            In the meantime, open the file
            C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins\Matt_Toggle_Units.rb
            in notepad.

            Change the last line from
            Sketchup.register_extension (ext,true)
            to
            Sketchup.register_extension ext, true

            Then it should work fine.

            BTW, even if we can't get in touch with him, we cannot redistribute a fixed version of his plugin, as he states in his files "All Rights Reserved".

            EDIT : It seems he visited the forum on Feb 27, so he should be around somewhere 😉

                after changing the last line, everything works fine.

                  Hi all
                  I needed to add extensions.rb to plugins and edit
                  toolbar_manager.html
                  tustrings.en
                  to correct english(engeniery) to Engineering (.en)

                  Now works and spells OK 👎 👎

                  Thank you Matt and what do you play ?

                          Hi Pete! Thank you for your kind words..

                          i don't use SU and Ruby anymore, my new job as musician doesn't need for these kind of software! 😄
                          But I love programming so I will try to do something for you..

                          I just have to reinstall SU!

                                There was a single method (arguments) error in the extension 'loader' .rb.
                                I've corrected it to method(arguments) so it is now v2014 compliant.
                                I updated it for the PluginStore entry [v3.000]...

                                  Hello all,

                                  I still have some troubles with this very usefull extension.
                                  It also seems to be related to a UTF8 issue as you can see the error message below.
                                  I have Win7 64bit pro. Any idea ?

                                    The language string files haven't been encoded as UFT8 and have a silly extensions [.en, .fr]...

                                    it would be simpler to use .txt so people can edit their own copies.

                                        Only the FR file was wrongly encoded as ANSI !
                                        The EN one worked fine...
                                        The plugin's HTML file shows NO encoding at all - which is just weird !
                                        It'll be fixed and an update published shortly...

                                            First, this extension is incredibly valuable for me. So many thanks for it! When I find things like this I feel stupid [face palm], I didn't seek it earlier... so much time wasted!

                                            2nd on feature request for presets. For example, it would be amazing if I could have/make three:

                                            1. decimal, mm, 0mm precision (sometimes I do my detailed work or reference other models)
                                            2. decimal, in, 0.000" precision (most of the time when I'm doing detail work, this is my preference)
                                            3. architectural, 0" precision (my output presentations are almost always feet and whole inches)
