Engineering Toolbox Plugin Issues
-
I installed Engineering Toolbox through the Extension Warehouse which warned me about expired digital signatures but then reported the extension was ready to go.
After restarting SU, I loaded my drawing and opened the Ruby console. I selected a circle drawn on the floor, opened the toolbox from within SU and browsed to a 4x3 Concentric Reducer and clicked 'Insert'.
See below for the error message displayed in the console.
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method

The error tells you the line and the file...
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined methodtransformation' for #Sketchup::Face:0x00000007b21748>

Line 26 in engineeringtoolbox.rb
A Face does not have a transformation.
So I suspect that the code [I don't have it at hand] for '4x3 Concentric Reducer' is expecting you to have selected something that does have a transformation - like a group, component_instance etc...
Have you read the usage instructions ?

Your clear explanation provided the direction needed. I actually had read through the instructions which is why I drew a circle on the floor and selected its face to place the new component on the floor. Guided by your answer, I made the circle a group and the component insertion worked as expected.
Thanks,
