      Seems super.

      Does it work for a free v8?

      Can't seem to install this.

        You need to access this plugin's folder inside Plugins, and then delete an RBS file - illogically the EN version is wrong! - keep the CN one... 😒

                  You might do the same thing I suggested in the post just above yours in response to the post before that in which the poster reported the exact same problem.

                    I installed the plugin, but I get an error message whenever I start SU.
                    also the plugin is not visible as a toolbar.
                    I have SU15 pro...

                        What makes you think there is a toolbar button that is missing? If you watch the tutorial video in the first post, you see it tells you the tool is accessed through the Plugins menu which is now called the Extensions menu.

                            Hello,
                            I followed the advice of Tig : "Find the 'en' version and remove it from the v2014 Plugins folder [find that folder using the appropriate utility in the SketchUcation submenu]."

                            http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=13014%26amp;start=120#p530627

                            But "FAR" does not work properly to model a rope.
                            Can I get help
                            thank in advance

                            Albert


                            follow-me and rotate in sketchup 2017

                                You do not seem to have actually removed the ..._en,rbs file as the error-message relates to that !
                                To recap...
                                There are two version of the plugin installed by the RBZ.
                                The ..._en one loads in preference to the .._cn one,
                                Perversely the .._en one has issues because of Chinese characters etc - so that needs removing [..._en.rbs] and the other one [with ..._cn.rbs ending] will be used loaded successfully...
                                http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=531322#p531322
                                Note how the author has misnamed the two files before encrypting them !

                                  I'm not sure the plugin works properly on 2017 anyway.
                                  I installed it earlier and it was very flaky, (highly technical term).

                                      I've not tested it in v2017 - but if it is "flaky" it will now be unfix-able because its code is encrypted !

                                          Doesn't work with 2017 version. I removed the en version of the file.
                                          I made polyline and a face, selected both, clicked "Extensions/FollowAndRotate" but nothing happens, no dialog box.

                                            Yes, if you read the posts above yours, this has already been reported. Unless the author fixes it, the extension won't work, It doesn't seem likely that the author will fix it so it's probably a good idea to find other ways to manage what you did with this one.
