Converting Su8 ruby 1.86 to Ruby 2
-
Is there anyway of replacing ruby 1.86 with ruby 2
or is that a no no

Very unlikley. Trimble had to compile their own build of Ruby 2.0.0 for SU2014..2016 which had major issues with Unicode character support under Windows. They had to do patching and backporting themselves. The result is fondly called "FrankenRuby" by the SketchUp extensibility team.
The old versions of SketchUp 2013 (and older) are looking for different entry points in the Ruby interpreter DLL than are used in the Ruby 2+ versions, so you cannot just replace the DLL.
If your use of SketchUp is still Hobby as your profile suggests, then you can still download SU2016 Make or SU2017 Make. They use Ruby 2.0.0 and 2.2.4 respectively.

Hi thanx for the heads up, I thoought I was probably being simplistic
Its a pity that SUC does allow more realistic FB to developers. Some of the stuff is brill and I would give 5*
But I am strictly on the geometric solids/eng side and SU is mainly for graphics and visualisers I guess
