      It's a bug in VfS. The problem is how the vfs.rb file begins:

      <span class="syntaxdefault"><br /></span><span class="syntaxkeyword">if(</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> not file_loaded</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">?(</span><span class="syntaxstring">"vfs.rb"</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">)</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">)<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">puts </span><span class="syntaxstring">"vfs.rb loaded"<br /><br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">require </span><span class="syntaxstring">'sketchup.rb'<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">require </span><span class="syntaxstring">'extensions.rb'<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span>
      

      file_loaded? is a method of sketchup.rb. In vfs.rb it tries to use the method before it's been loaded. Since VfSU loads first on your machine you run into this problem. Others that have other plugins installed that loads sketchup.rb before VfSU loads will not see this problem.

      To correct the error, edit the vfs.rb file to look like this in the beginning:

      <span class="syntaxdefault"><br />puts </span><span class="syntaxstring">"vfs.rb loaded"<br /><br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">require </span><span class="syntaxstring">'sketchup.rb'<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">require </span><span class="syntaxstring">'extensions.rb'<br /></span><span class="syntaxkeyword">if(</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> not file_loaded</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">?(</span><span class="syntaxstring">"vfs.rb"</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">)</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">)<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span>
      

      (I reported the bug to the VfS developers.)

        I'm surprised we've not heard from more people about this. I guess most VfS users have other plugins installed that loads before VfS.

            Alphabetically by filename. V comes pretty late...
            It's a silly bug. Devin... 😒 😄 It warrants a facepalm.

              now i am getting this error
              Error Loading File #.rb
              Is a directory - /Users/sarahsaada/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/#.rbError Loading File vfs.rb
              undefined method `file_loaded?' for main:Object

              maybe the plugins folder is in the wrong place?

              You're right! It's not your personal 'users' folder path, but the central library one...
              Type this is the Window > Ruby Console
              Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins")
              It will return the correct path.
              I hadn't realized you were on MAC.
              When I said edit the new #.rb file with Notepad I hope you understood I meant a 'plain text editor' - do not use a word processor, it will add formatting and break the script.
              Have you seen thomthom's explanation? about how the vfs.rbfile itself has a mis-ordering of lines and how moving the two 'require' lines to the start will fix it...

                  Sorry , I have fixed the ruby line as Thomthom recommended.
                  But I've still gotten an error.

                  "Error Loading File vfs.rb
                  no such file to load -- sketchup.rb"

                  please help , thank in advance

                    IF the very first line of this script reads:
                    require 'sketchup.rb'
                    or
                    require "sketchup.rb"
                    Then it should work. 😒

                    I suspect a misplaced " or a missing ' ?

                    If you still get an error, then check that there is a file in the SketchUp ' Tools' folder called ' sketchup.rb'.

                    If NOT then you must reinstall SketchUp!
                    If it's in the ' Plugins' folder then you must remove it.

                    If it is in the ' Tools' folder then type $LOAD_PATH...
                    If if doesn't include the ' Tools' folder then something is badly adrift...

                            How old of a version are you trying to use?
