      Did you install a fresh copy of TIG's plugin? Or did you just drag the old copy over from the previous Plugins folder?

          If you get v2.2 of the tool's RBZ from the PluginStore and install it from the RBZ [i.e. don't drag+drop from an opened RBZ as if it were a ZIP file etc] you should then get fresh copies of all of the needed files [including the required helper "deBabelizer.rb"].
          The error you posted relates to an incompatible version of that file - old ANSI v new UTF8-without-BOM.
          The new version of Ruby used by SketchUp 2014 is less forgiving and cannot use that text file encoding.
          Most authors have updated their scripts to have the correct encoding, and thereby suit all versions of SketchUp.
          The files in this tool's latest PluginStore RBZ are all correctly encoded.
          To double check I have just reinstalled from a newly downloaded RBZ and it worked fine - the enclosed files are all correctly encoded - I checked πŸ˜•

          It looks like you copied an older one over from an earlier version's Plugins folder ?
          Reinstall properly, restart and retest...

          Or have you installed anything else including deBabelizer.rb ?
          The few RBZs that do include it should all be correctly encoded if the latest versions are downloaded and installed...
          An old version will cause issues...

            Here's v2.3
            A minor glitch [typo] is now fixed and it's compatible with v2014 once again πŸ˜’

              If you want confirmation, loft wasn't working for me in 2014 and now is. Thanks.

                The EEby Loft error was a strange one. πŸ˜’
                A very silly typo, that I'd have expected to make it fail in ANY version seems to be glossed-over by the Ruby of earlier versions.
                The "princess-pea-under-the mattress" miss-picky Ruby2.0 didn't like it...
                It was easy to fix when I got my head around it...

                  Hi TIG

                  I have tried once again .. and there is always something wrong .
                  what i have done

                  1 - Erasure of all new plugins
                  2 - Installation of plugin Extrude Tools 2.3 with plugin store + Autoinstall
                  3 - Closure and reboot

                  Chri
                  😞

                    Why does the error message include "invalid byte sequence in UTF-8"?

                    French Windows and English SketchUp?

                      This is most strange. πŸ˜•
                      I have just repeated all of your steps...
                      It reinstalls and works fine after a restart [just in case something was adrift]...

                      That RBZ's version of deBabelizer.rb IS the newest, and therefore compatible - I converted it a few months ago...
                      BUT your file says 02/12/2013 AND that IS the current file ?

                      Try this known-to-work version [install from the attached RBZ]...
                      Restart SketchUp to retest...

                      If this fixes, then it the mystery deepens...
                      BUT at least you'll have a working version...

                        PS:
                        Can you attached your version of deBabelizer.rb that is raising the issue on your system, so I can compare it with the 'real' [working] one that you should have...

                        Can you also check that you have FULL security permissions to the Plugins folder...
                        It should be set automatically...

                              That IS the correct file.
                              It should NOT raise a UTF8 error...
                              It is correctly encoded...
                              It works for me.
                              It works for others...

                              Weird...

                              Incidentally, don't confuse the subfolders containing some files that are shipped with SketchUp v2014, with the main Plugins folder that is now located in your Users account...

                                      The ' Application Data' Plugins folder-path is NOT the folder-path into which YOUR Plugins should normally 'go'. πŸ˜•
                                      You will not be able to install or manage these files, unless they have FULL security permissions to that folder-path [which is unlikely, as it's very limited by default, and also difficult to reset too]. 😲
                                      C:/Documents and Settings/USERNAME/Application Data/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins

                                      There is a also a similar path, which is actually pointing to the same folder...
                                      C:/Documents and Settings/USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins
                                      This path could also have restricted permissions... πŸ˜’

                                      BUT every user gets their own fully accessible Plugins folder-path. πŸ˜„
                                      Where you can install and manage your plugins files - you will automatically have FULL security permissions using that folder-path.
                                      That ' Users' Plugins folder is the default one...

                                      To find your very own Plugins folder use this in the Ruby Console:
                                      Sketchup.find_support_file('Plugins')
                                      It will return something like this:
                                      C:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins

                                      Although it is effectively the same folder as the Application Data || /Documents and Settings/../AppData ones again - using this path you automatically get proper FULL permissions...

                                      If you have tried to install Plugins into an alternative Plugins folder-path [even if in reality it is pointing at the same Plugins folder], in all likelihood you probably do not have FULL security permissions when approaching it down that folder-path... 😞
                                      So the chances are you have once again started the specter of the 'VirtualStore' / 'Compatibility Files' fiasco, which was meant to be avoided by the improved Users Plugins folder introduced in v2014... πŸ˜’

                                      So please use to the usual C:/Users/../Plugins path... πŸ€“

                                            Yes it was an odd one. πŸ˜’
                                            SketchUp v2014's Ruby2.0 demands that scripts are in UTF8-without-BOM encoding.
                                            I had previously updated all of my files and reissued them - or so I thought...
                                            Somehow a few rogue lingvo translation files got through the net - they were in the now unacceptable ANSI format - particularly the FR ones - so I assume the person translating them for me must have used a new empty Notepad file and copy+pasted into it, rather that a straight copy of the EN-US version which was already correctly encoded. πŸ˜•
                                            These files caused no issues, unless your locale was FR - in which case there was the loading error because the file could not be read into v2014.
                                            I have now been through all of my scripts that have lingvo files and corrected the encodings and republished, so hopefully this little glitch is behind us... πŸ˜„
