      Sorry for the late reply 😳
      The latest version for 2014 seems to work fine on SU2015, but I didn't get around to make it an "official" version yet so it got a bit lost within the thread(posted on 4 aug. 2014).

      I will try to update the main-post with the latest version tomorrow.

        Hi,
        Just a side note: to install, create a folder "bimtools" in the Plugins folder, and put the html file in it.

        where is the html file?
        the plugin create bim-tools, so i have to add bimtools, right?

          Do you have trouble installing? I think this tip is rather outdated by now.
          The easiest way to install is through the Sketchucation Plugin Store (Search on author: "Jan Brouwer"):
          http://sketchucation.com/plugin-store-free-download

          You can also rename the download from bim-tools-0.12.4.zip to bim-tools-0.12.4.rbz.
          Then it can be installed thtough: Window --> Preferences --> Extensions
          I will use that filetype as the default for the next version...

              0.12.4 work fine
              but 13.0 cannot work like 12.4 @su2015x64pro

              such as several box could be converted to wall&floor by just one click using 12.4
              but 13.0, some faces cannot be converted

                Can you send me an example model (PM?), then I'll check it out.
                In my own tests the new 0.13.0 worked on more faces than 0.12.4, so I'm curious... 😄
                Thanks for posting the issue!

                  Now I Know What Happened

                  12.4 can work under customized catalogue, 13.0 not

                  and 13.0, if you have cleaned bim information, you must run SU again, Using File→New could not worked, isn't ?

                    Thanks! You're probably right, I also had some trouble changing between models without restarting SU a couple of weeks ago, I thought I fixed that. I will check it out!

                      Okay, I completely uprooted the observers that keep track of the active entities, and it seems much more solid now 😄

                      Can you give it a try before I upload it into the PluginStore?
                      Thanks!

                        New version 0.13.2 online!

                        Feels much more solid due to improved observers 😄

                            I believe it used to work on Mac, but have never been able to test it myself.
                            I will try to borrow a Mac and check it out 😉

                            The error is related to reading the config file, did you by any chance modify that file?

                              Thank you for the response.
                              I didn't make any changes to files.
                              Deleted plugin this morning and reinstalled through sketchucation plugin with similar error message.

                                  Really? 6 year old version and 15 releases behind ? (Trimble has long stopped supporting v7.x.)

                                  Does BIM-Tools even support v7.1 ?

                                  I'm not here much anymore.

                                    /bim-tools/lib/clsDefaultValues.rb:40

                                    Single argument String subscripts are one of the breaking changes from Ruby 1.8 to 2.0.

                                    The workaround is line[0,1], ie., [position, length] or give a range [0..0]

                                    The single argument will definitely not work in SU2013 and earlier, as Ruby 1.8 returns an integer for the character's position in the ASCII character set.

                                    I'm not here much anymore.

                                        Hi Dan, thanks for helping out! 😄 That fixes one error! 😉
                                        SketchUp even seems to drops out here before the strip-string, on requiring the "pathname" module.
                                        I guess that's one of the modules that was missing in the old 1.8 stripped ruby environment.

                                        still some more warnings to wade through I see ...

                                          Yes well it is a Standard Library class (derived from String, I believe.) And the Standard Ruby Library was not included until SketchUp 2014 (when it was released with Ruby 2.0.0.)

                                          Before that, SketchUp was released with only the Core interpreter.

                                          SketchUp 7.1 for Windows users can copy the Ruby 1.8.6-p287 DLL from v8 or v2013, back to the v7 program folder, or get it here at SketchUcation:
                                          ruby-1.8.6-p287-i386-mswin32-dll.zip
                                          (SketchUp 6 & 7 for Windows was released with the ancient Ruby v1.8.0 [initial release] of the Ruby interpreter.)

                                          I have packaged the Ruby 1.8.6-p287 Standard Library up for Windows ONLY, as a normal RBZ SketchUp Extension archive. (It installs into a sub-folder as a plugin would.)
                                          It only loads for SketchUp version 8..13 (or 7.x if the DLL is manually upgraded.)

                                          I'm not here much anymore.

                                            I've been able to remove the dependency on pathname and it's running now on SU7 and SU8.

                                            Although one (probably showstopper) problem remains. Auto-updating of modified objects does not work on SU7 because the "EntitiesObserver.onElementModified" method was added in SU8.
                                            That means updating geometry must be done manually by disabling and re-enabling the observers (red/green button).

                                            New version added to this post, I will add it to the plugin store when I also fixed the MAC issue, but that has to wait a little until I get my hands on a MAC 😉
