[Plugin] Selection Toys

[coulteri]

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]

I have the newest tt_selection_toys_v2.3.9

Also the newest TT_Lib_v.2.10.6

[thomthom]

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?

1. Download the RBZ for Selection Toys
2. Close SketchUp.
3. Remove Selection Toys.
4. Start SketchUp
5. Open the Ruby Console (Window > Ruby Console)
6. Window > Preferences > Extensions > Install Extension. (Pick the Selection Toys RBZ)

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

[coulteri]

Hi,

I tried this:

1. I removed selection toys from plugin folder
2. I started sketchup without selection toys installed
3. 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]

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]

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]

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.

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

[thomthom]

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

[thomthom]

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]

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

[coulteri]

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

I'm confused...

That path isn't what I get from the array of bytes...

And you have version 2.3.11?

Can you type in this into the console:
