may i ask why the plugin result on a bugsplat when i try to cut it by zorro?? is there anybody can help me to this? hope for your help thank you

Zorro isn't invincible.
You can try and remove parts of the model you don't need before running it.
Also don't try to cut very small complex geometry link plants because this can result in tiny geometry that fails, as well as taking ages to do...
Give Zorro a chance and it will work...
How complex is what you are hoping to cut ?
Have you firstly deleted hidden entities, purged the model and fixed-problems etc...

I am trying to install the plugin for Zorro2 on my Mac book OSX for Sketchup 2013, but when I click on the download link it keeps showing in my 'Downloads' folder as a plain text file. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance!

Hi.
I guess it happened to others too, but this plugin makes crash my sketchup when used in large models ( >20Mo) sketchup freezes with the message " Making unique components and deleting groups and components behind section plane"
how can I help sketchup to slice the model ? If I explode all components, will it change anything ?

thanks

Work on a copy.
Try exploding everything back into raw geometry.
Also use Model Info > Statistics > 'Purge Unused'
and 'Fix Problems'

It may help, but you might still have issues...

There are limits !

Marcie, what do you mean you tried it and nothing happens. How did you try downloading it? What did you do after downloading it?

Hi people,

I get the message "Unzip error: could not unzip archive" when trying to install zorro2 from the pluginstore inside SU2014. In SU2013 it works fine. I tried just installing the .rb file in the plugin folder manually but the plugin doesn't show up in SU2014 after a restart. Anyone else getting this error?

Regards,

Niels

What Plugins folder are you expecting it to be in ?
It should be in the Users one ?
If you download the RBZ file from the PluginStore, then use the native Preferences > Extensions > Install... button, what happens ?
The Unzip error shows that the RBZ couldn't be unzipped using the API RBZ installer, which is in essence the one used by that button

Hi TIG,

I've put the file in the \program files\Sketchup\Sketchup 2014\plugins folder. I downloaded the file as .rb not rbz, from the first post of this thread. Because I don't have it as a rbz file it doesn't show up when I try to install it using preferences>extensions>install.

There is an issue installing Zorro2 from Pluginstore. Zorro1 will install.

Nilez83 · 7 May 2014, 14:42

Yep,the same screen I get

Wrong folder. It should be in the User (your username)/App Data/SketchUp 2014/... Plugins folder.

It wouldn't show with Install Extension, would it?

Move it to the right location and all should be fine.

Ok installed it in the right directory and it's working again. Thanks very much!

TIG · 7 May 2014, 15:21

@Box

There is indeed an issue with 'Zorro2'...

The version includes a space before the 'beta' in the RBZ name.
It should be replaced by a '_' when the path is setup server-side [Gábor !]
I have fixed it... it's now versioned as '_beta'.
I've also done similar fixes for some others Plugins in the Store.

It will now install properly from the dialog

Nilez83 · 7 May 2014, 15:28

Thanks TIG!

TIG · 7 May 2014, 15:46

OK.
That issue should have never happened in the first place, and hopefully it won't recur in the future [Gábor !]

Incidentally you should NEVER have a Plugins folder for v2014 inside the its 'Programs Files' folder-path.
It should default to each Users' Plugins folder - as Dave explained.
There is another potential 'shared' Plugins folder that you can make in the ProgramData tree... BUT do not make this unless you really really want to 'share' plugins...
All Plugins AutoInstall into the User's Plugins folder anyway - using the native installer.
The SketchUcation PluginStore's equivalent AutoInstaller will prompt for an alternative destination, but only IF it'd been defined and in $: [Fredo's AdditionalPluginsFolder tool allows you to specify alternative custom-plugins folders BUT is only necessary if you need them - e.g. you are on a commercial/educational network with restricted permissions, or you have several computers and want to share one folder via DropBox, or similar...]
