      It seems like the issue you might be having is with the number of faces. This plugin only applies one color to one face at a time, and doesn't sub-divide them. In the picture you've provided, it looks like you've got two different applications of the plugin, but each time it's to only three faces. So, Gradientator sees that you've got three faces selected, and just applies the three colors; no gradient needed. However, with more than three faces, it will begin to gradient to greater degrees. So, trying to replicate your image with more faces:

      As you can see, it's still applying those three colors, but the "in-between" faces are getting the gradient colors, or colors that are in-between those main colors. So, the amount of gradientating you'll get is dependent on the number of faces you select at one time. Does that help?

      Steve,

      many thanks for clarifying that for me. I had missed the point that I needed more than three faces. From the initial illustrations it had looked like only 1 face was having colours gradiented (no such word??) across it.

      I've got it now. Just needed to be belted on the head a couple of times!

      Cheers...>Scotty

            how to

            Using Notepad or similar text editor, simply remove the '@' in |@grad_dialog,action_name| in line 79 to this

            @grad_dialog.add_action_callback("get_data") do |grad_dialog,action_name|
            

            Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

                  In SketchUp 2015 I get the following error after the install:

                  Error: #<SyntaxError: C:/Users/nessuno/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/gradientator.rb:79: formal argument cannot be an instance variable

                  I solved changing row 79 to the end of the do block in this way

                  @grad_dialog.add_action_callback("get_data") do |grad_dialog, action_name|
                  			if action_name == "begin_gradientating"
                  				@grad_dialog = grad_dialog
                  				@coloronename = @grad_dialog.get_element_value("color_one_name")
                  				@colortwoname = @grad_dialog.get_element_value("color_two_name")
                  				@colorthreename = @grad_dialog.get_element_value("color_three_name")
                  				@grad_dialog.close
                  				gradientate(@coloronename,@colortwoname,@colorthreename,@faces,@model)
                  			end
                  			if action_name == "close_this_window"
                  				@grad_dialog.close
                  			end
                  		end

                      Andrew, did you try the solution offered by sdmitch? I just tried it and that makes it work in SU2015.

                        The post just before yours offers a solution http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=575140#p575140, and @sdmitch gave an even simpler version a few posts earlier http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=541222#p541222
                        Just edit the RB using a plain-text editor like Notepad++, then find the do |@grad_dialog, text around line #79, and remove the @ so it's do |grad_dialog,.
                        Save the RB and restart SketchUp...
                        Since the @grad_dialog is defined earlier it is not necessary to redefine it in the do block, so using ANY name which doesn't start with a @ will work !

                                      The script needs some editing to work. Scroll up a few posts and read what sdmitch wrote. Edit the .rb file to make that change and it'll work. this is in SU2020 after editing the script and installing it.

                                        Does anybody have the repaired file. When I open the RBZ file using note pad, I get a bunch of garbage. I have tried all the standards when opening.

                                        Thanks,
