Hi,
Just downloaded yesterday, and figuring out how to use it. Unfortunately, no matter what I do, I can't get audio on any of the videos. Computer speakers, through my stereo, videos on your site, or on YouTube. No problem with any other videos on the internet.
Thanks

Nothing is wrong, there is no sound.
Do you want me to sing ?
Please read the pdf doc.

Yes! I do!

[youemailme]

I don't know how good a voice you have, so I suppose not. Guess that explains why there's no sound! I saw that someone complained about how fast they were, but I figured it wouldn't matter if I could hear what you were saying. Makes the pdf all the more indispensable. I'll watch the vids again after I study the pdf....

[pgarmyn]

@ youemailme & tt_su
sorry,, english is not my mother tongue...

I will make some slow 'how to' videos with text.
I will be on holiday the next three weeks .....

No apologies necessary! I'm in awe of anyone that can write plug-ins like this, while still carrying on a "day job"! No rush, and thanks again for your contribution to the world of SketchUp!

To make a decent plugin take a lot of work. And it's much more than having an idea and writing a little bit of ruby code. That is the easy part. But testing it. Because it should run on all version of windows and os x, and on all versions of sketchup. It can conflict with other plugins. And the userinterface had to be easy to use too. Oh did I mension there are all kind of browsers and they are different on win and mac and the UI is depended on these browsers. Than there is documentation. The user want a manual and tutorial movies. You should give support on it and a lot of support as nothing to do with your plugin itself but is an os, sketchup or browser issue... Or just stupidity of the user (oh yes I switched of showing images in my browser yesterday, now I understand why your webdialog isn't showing icons anymore... But this is after a join.me session of half an hour.)
Most of the plugins make money for the users by saving a lot of time. Please respect the developers and support there efforts by paying for there hard work.

Hi Piet,

Here's a small sample of recent work using your plugin. All these are 100% sketchup/layout.

Thanks a lot!

KNOWN ISSUE:

RichSections created with older versions must be updated manually.
I will work on it to fix that.

any idea?

[TIG]

The fileutils.rb is a standard file found in the RubyStdLib subfolder within the SketchUp Tools.
It does not auto-load when SketchUp starts, BUT can be required thus:
require "fileutils.rb"
Since the path to the RubyStdLib subfolder should be auto-added to the $: the .rb should be found in that folder.
Obviously something is failing...

Check a few things...
Is the RubyStdLib subfolder within the SketchUp Tools ?
Does it contain a file named fileutils.rb ?
If not reinstall SketchUp v2014 [latest version]...
Is the path to RubyStdLib included in the $: ? To check that you just type $: in the Ruby Console...
If you type require "fileutils.rb" in the Ruby Console what is the result ?

Report back...
