[Plugin] Selection Toys

Dave R · 18 Jun 2016, 18:03

I just checked it on my Mac. It works for me. Are you sure you're using it correctly? Try making a cube, select it all by dragging a selection fence around it. Then click the green Edges button in the toolbar. Does it change the selection to only the edges?

Now using 2.3 nothing happens on mac. Any one here with same issues on mac?

I see no error in the console nothing

There are many functions on Selection Toys - can you elaborate on what you do and how you do it?

Hi,

I am having problems with loading Selection Toys. I am using Sketchup 2016 on Windows 10.

Any tip for solution?

Thanks

It appears it has to do with the accented characters in your username. Which version of Selection toys are you trying to install?

coulteri · 30 Oct 2016, 09:12

I have the newest tt_selection_toys_v2.3.9

Also the newest TT_Lib_v.2.10.6

I uploaded a new patch to try to fix this. I'm not sure if it worked, so please post back with your results. (Remember to restart SketchUp).

Hi,

thanks a lot for your help!

There is still one error (picture 1).

Right mouse menu I use most works fine! (picture 2).

But standalone menu doesn´t work correctly.

All I need is OK. Where was the problem? In my user account name?

Yea, Ruby have problems (some bugs) when it comes to non-English characters in filenames under Windows. There are some workarounds though.

That remaining error is strange though... it's missing the backtrace.

Can you try something for me?

Download the RBZ for Selection Toys
Close SketchUp.
Remove Selection Toys.
Start SketchUp
Open the Ruby Console (Window > Ruby Console)
Window > Preferences > Extensions > Install Extension. (Pick the Selection Toys RBZ)

Do you get a longer error message in the Ruby console then?

Hi,

I tried this:

I removed selection toys from plugin folder
I started sketchup without selection toys installed
The prompt was still there (!?)

So I think it does not matter on your plugin
I have installed more plugins these days. There is word "eval" in the prompt - I have evaluation version of Artisan installed so this could be a problem (maybe).

thomthom · 31 Oct 2016, 11:04

Hm.. yea, it's quite likely other extensions also will run into problems.

As for Selection Toys. So it's installed and you see the menus? But the Settings dialog is blank?

coulteri · 31 Oct 2016, 12:18

I can use only menu on right mouse button.

UI settings window is blank.

I will try to make my computer name TT friendly in the future

There is no toolbar in the list of toolbars? And nothing under Tools > Selection Toys?

(If you keep the Ruby Console open when you try to open the UI settings window - is there any output then?)

coulteri · 31 Oct 2016, 15:06

When I enable Selection Toys toolbar from view/toolbars there are toolbars you can see on the left side of the picture.

Tool/selection toys / UI settings - calls blank window in the middle.

Tools/selection toys/ cheat sheet - looks fine.

Ruby console doesn´t contain anything.

thomthom · 31 Oct 2016, 16:28

Interesting. Ok - let me try to have another look at this.

thomthom · 31 Oct 2016, 19:18

I added an issue in the issue tracker: https://github.com/thomthom/SelectionTools/issues/1

thomthom · 31 Oct 2016, 19:30

Weeelll.... that's embarrassing. It turns out that the blank window is due to a bug. Where I previously tried to fix unicode issues. Not sure how I never noticed that before. But it doesn't even load on my machine. It's a quick fix though - hang on.

thomthom · 31 Oct 2016, 19:39

Ok - try using v2.3.11: http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=tt_selection_toys

coulteri · 2 Nov 2016, 18:49

Hi,

I am out of my office until the end of this weekend. I will try it after my return and let you know

Thank you very much!

Hi Thomthom. I've got the same problem with Coulteri. With the new version dialogue still remains the same.

Hi Thomthom. I've got the same problem with Coulteri. With the new version dialogue still remains the same.

Can you open the Ruby Console and enter these lines, one by one and then post back the result?


filepath = File.join(TT;;Plugins;;SelectionToys;;PATH, 'webdialog/ui_manager.html')

p File.exist?(filepath)

p filepath

p filepath.bytes
