      Many thanks

      Then can you type the commands suggested by TIG

      puts a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"]+"" puts a.encoding puts b = a.force_encoding("UTF-8") puts b.encoding

      and add this one

      puts a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encode("UTF-8")

      Thanks

      Fredo

      IMPORTANT: your profile says you use Sketchup 8. Is that correct?

          Ali,

          You need to type the commands one by one.

          Apparently the last one seems to work.

          Could send me a private message with an email address where I can send you a modified version of LibFredo6.

          To be sure, can you type separately the 3 commands below:

          a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encode("UTF-8")

          a.encoding

          a.gsub(/\\/, "/")

          The last one should return the path with \ replaced by /

          Thanks

          Fredo

            The problem should be resolved with the new version 8.1e.

            Many thanks to Ali

                  After reinstalling the Lib have you restarted SketchUp 2016 ?

                    Yes, of course. That's when I receive the error window.

                        The fail to read seems to be due to a wrong installation of Sketchup, that is without a "run as an administrator" on the install exe file.

                          Thanks Fredo.
                          That was my second thought...

                          For the avoidance of doubt, in all newer versions of Windows the only correct way to install ANY application - including SketchUp - is as follows...

                          Login as your normal user account.
                          Close SketchUp if it is open.
                          Find the SketchUp installer exe file.
                          It's probably in your Downloads folder - if not download a new version.
                          Select the exe file's icon.
                          Right-click > Context-menu > "Run as administrator"
                          The process starts...
                          When prompted choose "Repair"
                          Note that if you have not yet installed SketchUp, or have recently uninstalled it - the appropriate option is "Install"...
                          When it completes start up Sketchup and see what happens.

                          Very rarely the "Repair" might be insufficient, it that case run the exe as above and choose "Uninstall", then run it again and "Install"...

                          Installing any exe installer file in any other way will cause all kinds of unexpected and weird issues...
                          Never install using the 'administrator' login account.
                          Always install as your usual user account.
                          Accept the default local location that is offered - anything else might cause issues...
                          Never install as your usual user account by double-clicking the installer exe file's icon.
                          Even if you have admin powers that is NOT the same as doing it correctly - there will be subtle differences...

                            Using the install.exe in my Downloads folder, I "Ran as Admin", chose Repair, let it run but still get the errors. I shutdown SU, then using the install.exe I "Ran as Admin" and chose Uninstall, let it finish and then restarted my system. Once system restarted, I went back to the download folder, "Ran as Admin" the install.exe for a fresh install, once finished I restarted my system, opened SU and tried installing fredo6 and RoundCorner using Preferences>Extensions. Closed SU then restarted. Received the following error;

                            Other installed Extensions load fine so I don't know what to do now.

                              I don't have an explanation why rbe files cannot be read in certain configurations of Sketchup.

                              Maybe you should uninstall Sketchup from the Windows uninstall feature (in Control Panel), and then reinstall with "run as admin".

                              Are the other plugins "working fine" also scrambled as rbe?

                                hi fredo,

                                loving all your plugins, you doing a outstanding work!
                                all my two thumbs up (im sad, unfotunately i only have two here)!

                                i have one question/suggestion

                                im using all your plugins in sketchup on my mac.
                                and i have no tooltips via mouseoverlay (staying still with
                                mouse over a tool for a few seconds).

                                can you please add those tooltips for the mac version of your plugins.
                                i think tooltips help a lot for people like me, who need icons an text
                                for a better clarification (having a ton of plugins and icons, can confuse you a lot).

                                … or am i wrong and the tooltips are there but i have to activate it?
                                (wrong setting in sketchup or on your tools).
                                are tooltips available on the win versions of your plugins?

                                greetings an have a nice weekend

                                johnny

                                  Following on from Fredo's last comment about uninstalling/installing...

                                  Close SketchUp if it's open.
                                  Try running the installer exe using "Run as administrator" - as explained previously.
                                  When prompted choose "Uninstall"

                                  Now open the folder: C:/Users/mgfranz/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2016/
                                  The AppData path is hidden by default.
                                  Choose to show hidden files in Folder Options, or paste the address into Windows Explorer top-bar.
                                  Choose the "SketchUp" subfolder in that, when prompted/confirmed this will delete all files and subfolders in there - so if you keep anything in there like Materials, Components or Styles then temporarily move those folders out BEFORE doing the delete.

                                  Now re-run the installer exe as before and choose "Install"...

                                  This will replace the Plugins folder in its entirety.

                                  Run SketchUp and test.

                                  Move the collection subfolders back in etc as needed.
                                  In the SketchUp Preferences remember to check and if needed reset your folder paths to collections...

                                  Reinstall your favorite Extensions using the current RBZ files you have, or download the latest ones again... or perhaps consider using the SketchUcation Toolset's ExtensionStore³ to Auto-Install chosen ones, or install en mass from a Bundle ?

                                    First time i hear that the tooltips don't show on Mac.

                                    They are calculated however.

                                    Waiting for some Mac users to say whether this is a general problem or due to your configuration.

                                    By the way, do you have tooltips showing up with other plugins?

                                    Fredo

                                      hi fredo,

                                      thnx for your answer.

                                      for me only the tooltips of the official tools are shown.
                                      all installed plugins have no tooltip.

                                      dunno if this is a setting thing of sketchup.

                                      greetings

                                        I don't have an explanation why rbe files cannot be read in certain configurations of Sketchup.

                                        Maybe you should uninstall Sketchup from the Windows uninstall feature (in Control Panel), and then reinstall with "run as admin".

                                        Are the other plugins "working fine" also scrambled as rbe?

                                        Very good observation, the other extensions are all .rb files. I will try using Windows Uninstall.

                                        I also tried moving all plugins to the ProgramData folder instead of the AppData folder with the following errors reported;

                                        Error Loading File C:/ProgramData/SketchUp/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp/Plugins/Fredo6_!LibFredo6/top_LibFredo6.rbe

                                          Do NOT move files into the ProgramData folder !
                                          [ Unless you like a major balls-up ! ]
                                          Use the proper folders and always ensure correct installation methods etc...

                                          The error is clearly a 'permissions issue'...
                                          These happen after an incorrect installation of the exe file...
