          This tool was a problem because it rewrote a number of core class/methods that then clashed with many other tools - it hasn't been 'current' for a while - pity as it was potentially useful... ๐Ÿ˜ž

              It also messes with base classes, so it's best avoided ??

                This script has caused a lot of problems. Best if it were removed or re-written. But I can't keep up with life lately, so I won't be getting to it anytime soon.

                        It does not seem to work; its a shame. I have the files. Its seems compatibility might had been broken. Also the website has a broken download link (and generally it seems broken and possibly abandoned). I have some old files from 2013 (unpacked); if someone would want to try and fix the issues I would be grateful.

                          As was mentioned a few posts back [but ~3 years ago !] http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=287700#p287700
                          The toolset seems abandoned, is flaky AND is potentially harmful to the loading/operation of several other tools anyway.
                          It is a 'rogue' which messes with native/base classes and its installation is best avoided.
                          It will also almost certainly not be v2014 compatible [but please complete your SCF User Profile so we might better help you].
                          The tool's files are encrypted as rbs - effectively making them uneditable and unknowable [without a Trimble-only 'decompiler' app - which would then break the ToS]...

                          As currently supplied in the previous post's ZIP, the files will 'install', but not 'load' as SketchUp starts, because the 'loader' rbs has be disabled using the SketchUcation 'Plugins Manager' [note the final ! on file-type]...

                          I do not recommend installing OR using it at all !

                          Instead, why not write a usage-spec and start a new thread that asks for development of a similar new Plugin ?

                          I have PM'd you with something to try...

                              Look at the post just one before yours - this tool is not recommended for installation/use at all !
                              Look at the post just two before yours - there's a ZIP file containing the current files.

                              Use at your own risk. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

                                Personally I loved this tool, I would love to see it revived!
                                I mailed the creator with the question to update / open-source his code...
                                In the 2nd case, would anybody be interested in updating it for SU 2014+ ?

                                Thanks for your email, good to see that SunTools is useful and helpful during the design process.
                                As you sure know, SU 2014 uses a new version of Ruby, Iโ€™m updating the plug-in, hope it will be ready ASAP.

                                      That is an educational institution and SunTool, quite possibly, was a project of some sorts of his. I wouldn't hold my breath, although I do agree that it would be good to see the tool updated.

                                          I have had a look there recently, I didn't find anything quite like it although there is a variety to choose from, I'm favoring SunHours. None really seem to create a graphic Heliodon though.
