Have you told the author directly ?
If not, then it might never be corrected...

Hi Tig
His e-mail is not working
Do you know any other plugin like flattery -
You have a typo in the update.
It no longer works in <v14
You have added
vertecies = Set.new --> vertecies = Set.new
when it should be
vertecies = Set.new --> RUBY_VERSION.to_i < 2 ? vertecies = Set.new : vertecies = Sketchup::Set.newI'll correct it and add it to the PluginStore later...

Oh? Sorry, I must have mixed up the files...

As there seem to be no way to contact the author and the copyright allows it, I modified the plugin to make it work in SU2014. It should still work fine in older versions. Here it is:
****Working version for SketchUp 2014:
EDIT : Download in the pluginstore: http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Flattery
Maybe an admin can replace it in the pluginstore?Modifications:
tabtool.rb line 238:if @active_edge:>if @active_edge
tabtool.rb line 276:if @active_edge && @dragging:>if @active_edge && @dragging
tabtool.rb line 287:if @active_edge:>if @active_edge
reunitetool.rb line 76:vertecies = Set.new>RUBY_VERSION.to_i < 2 ? vertecies = Set.new : vertecies = Sketchup::Set.new -
I've just added v1.0.2 files to the PluginStore [previously it had linked to the author's site where the incompatible file still resides].
If the original author [who still has full credit] wants to remove it let us know.
He is also free to take the corrected version and use it on his own site if he wishes...
Under the clear terms of the (c) notice at the top of each of his files, he allows changes and reissue, provided his (c) is kept intact - which it is... -
Thank you jiminy...
It's working now (-: -
Can anyone please help me? On my old laptop flattery worked just fine. Now WIN8 , SU2013 version and installed flattery, all worked correctly but I just can't export the drawing. I click save but it wont appear in the folder. Also tried SU8 but didn't work neither.

A working version for 2014 is in the Plugin Store:

Thank you very much, in 2014 all works alright
-
I copyed the file into the extension folder, but it doesn't show up on the menu bar on SU2014. Anyone could help me out?
Thanks!kind regards,

What do you mean you "copyed [sic] the file into the extension folder"?
Did you just download the .rbz file and copy it? And what extension folder? Did you place the .rbz file into the Plugins folder? If so, that's not the correct way to install plugins/extensions. Find the .rbz file and remove it back to Downloads or the desktop. Open SketchUp and go to Window>Preferences>Extensions. click on Install Extension, navigate to where you put the file, select it and choose Open. Continue with the installation. You should then see the toolbar for it under View>Toolbars.

Thank you!

Please complete your SCF User Profile, we don't know your OS or SUp version.
We can offer more targeted advice if you had...Most Plugins are available in the PluginStore:
http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Flattery
The RBZ archive can be automatically installed with any SketchUp >= v8 using Preferences > Extensions > Install.... button...If you installed the RBZ version of the SketchUcation PluginStore toolset, then you'll be able to AutoInstall from the PluginStore without even worrying about the RBZ download - every step is doe automatically...
Don't forget that most Plugins are 'free', so carping on about inadequacies is not constructive...
Perhaps the author is a code whizz who can't explain himself well?... but you as an erudite chap could help by sharing knowledge and make the work a better place - rather that making people feel bad.
Post a useful tip, like, "Flattery Tip: After selecting and indexing, you'll need to deselect and reselect before 'unfolding'..." -
I need some help;I've tried installing this plugin and cant seem to get it to work. (Sketchup (Make) 2014, Win8). following the procedure: Window>Preferences>Extensions. click on Install Extension, navigate to where you put the file, select it and choose Open. the toolbar doesn't show up and upon closing/reopening Sketchup I get the error dialog:

Where did you get the version of Flattery that you downloaded? It shouldn't be installed in the Tools folder but from the error messages, it appears it has been installed there. It would appear you have an outdated version. You should first navigate to the tools folder and delete any all files related to Flattery and start from scratch with a fresh copy. The correct version is in the Plugin Store. Use it to auto-install the plugin correctly.

Thanks Dave R,
just tried that. deleted all instances of Flattery and auto-installed from inside Sketchup. The toolbar still does not appear. Window>Preferances>Extensions shows it in the active list. but no joy. The Plugins Manager shows it as loaded, however the Extensions Manager show it as Disabled. -
What does the following mean exactly?
@unknownuser said:
...and auto-installed from inside Sketchup
How did you install it? Did you download a fresh copy? Or did you use the Sketchucation Plugin Store to install it?
What happens when you attempt to enable it in the Extensions Manager? Is there an entry for Flattery in the toolbars list? If you close SketchUp and reopen it, are there any messages? What are they?
-
I've deleted every instance I could find ad will try again.
I installed with the Sketchucation plugin store; searched the plugin store within Sketchup, click autoinstall,well, I was doing it as I was typing a blow-by-blow and lo and behold it worked. Don't know what I did differently this time. I've tried at least a dozen times to install it both manually and thru the plugin store. Hmm, dunno. At least its working now.
thanks for your help!
