      Hello all,

      I still have some troubles with this very usefull extension.
      It also seems to be related to a UTF8 issue as you can see the error message below.
      I have Win7 64bit pro. Any idea ?

      Erreur de chargement du fichier C:/Users/dell/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/Matt_Toggle_Units/Toggle_Units.rb

        The language string files haven't been encoded as UFT8 and have a silly extensions [.en, .fr]...

        it would be simpler to use .txt so people can edit their own copies.

            Only the FR file was wrongly encoded as ANSI !
            The EN one worked fine...
            The plugin's HTML file shows NO encoding at all - which is just weird !
            It'll be fixed and an update published shortly...
            [mod=:3i457397]Update v3.001 with correctly encoded FR file etc now in the PluginStore.

                First, this extension is incredibly valuable for me. So many thanks for it! When I find things like this I feel stupid [face palm], I didn't seek it earlier... so much time wasted!

                2nd on feature request for presets. For example, it would be amazing if I could have/make three:

                1. decimal, mm, 0mm precision (sometimes I do my detailed work or reference other models)
                2. decimal, in, 0.000" precision (most of the time when I'm doing detail work, this is my preference)
                3. architectural, 0" precision (my output presentations are almost always feet and whole inches)

                    The newer Ruby version is unsympathetic to coding errors !
                    Using a plain-text editor, like Notepad++, edit the file:
                    C:/Users/Architekt/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2019/SketchUp/Plugins/Matt_Toggle_Units/Toggle_Units.rb
                    Find line #205
                    return if not settings.include?("true")
                    Add an initial #
                    #return if not settings.include?("true")
                    Save the file and restart SketchUp, to test it...

                    Other 'returns' in the code seem OK...

                            Amazing - thanks TIG!!! (and Matt666 for the original). Was really panicking as I couldn't find an alternative to this, really great to get it working on 2019!

                              It really is a very simple editing process.

                              On a PC:
                              Using a plain-text editor, like Notepad++, edit the file:
                              C:/Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2019/SketchUp/Plugins/Matt_Toggle_Units/Toggle_Units.rb
                              Note that folders in the user's AppData tree are hidden by default, but you can use the full-path text to the Plugins folder, pasted into a Windows Explorer window to open that location, then find the Matt_Toggle_Units subfolder, and RB file in there to edit.
                              Find line #205
                              return if not settings.include?("true")
                              Add an initial #
                              #return if not settings.include?("true")
                              Save the file and restart SketchUp, to test it...

                              On a MAC:
                              Using a plain-text editor, like TextWrangler, edit the file:
                              The RB file's location is different on a MAC - it's actually easier to find the RB file in the SketchUp/Plugins Matt_Toggle_Units subfolder...
                              The subsequent editing & saving etc is the same...

                              Both of the text-editors are free and easy to install...

                              Tip: To open your Plugins folder directly - in SketchUp open the Ruby Console and paste this text:
                              UI.openURL("file:///#{Sketchup.find_support_file('Plugins')}")

                              • <enter>...

                                Hello Matt666
                                Love this extension very handy for changing digits from meter to millimeter
                                and visa versa. To see cubic meters in meters and not in millimeters in
                                ,,Entity Info,, and so on.
                                I'm now using Pro 2019 and it doesn't seem to be compatibel.
                                Any chance for an updated version soon 😄
                                Greetings Makki

                                  Hello, I encounter several problème and I can not run properly this plugin on SU 2019 on my mac: it lacks the unit mm! And that's the unit I use the most.
                                  No mm icon

                                  Here are the different ways I tried:

                                  • I downloaded the version of Blajnov. But I have an error message when I install it.
                                    error message

                                  -I installed the original version with the sketchucation plugin and tried to edit the toggleunits.rb. But I can not find the line "return if not settings.include? (" True ")" with TextEdit

                                  • I tried installing TextWrangler to edit the file. But this software no longer works with Mojave.

                                  Can you help me? Or send me a rbz file that works?

                                  Thank you so much.

                                  Gildas

                                    Sorry for the confusion !
                                    My mistake - I thought the recent ZIP file's author had packaged all of the files properly !
                                    It will mess things up if it's made into an RBZ and installed !
                                    If you have done so, then please open your Plugins folder and delete the following things - if they are incorrectly added into there - toggle_units_icons [folder], toggle_units.rb [file] and toggle_units.strings [file]...
                                    To open your Plugins folder directly - in SketchUp open the Ruby Console and paste this text:
                                    UI.openURL("file:///#{Sketchup.find_support_file('Plugins')}")

                                    • <enter>...

                                    I've deleted the post with that problem ZIP, simply to avoid any future confusion...

                                    I've now personally updated this tool's files to be compatible with all SketchUp verisons !
                                    I've also signed its RBZ for all Loading Policies compatibility...

                                    Please install the latest RBZ, which is now available from the PluginStore - v3.002:
                                    it should now be compatible with ALL current SketchUp versions...

                                      TIG, Thank you very much for your effort.
                                      But I still can not install the plugin.
                                      I uninstalled it from Extention Manager.
                                      And I went to the library folder to check if the 3 files indicated were deleted.
                                      Then installed v 3.002 from Sketchucation store
                                      Then leave and relaunch sketchup.
                                      And I have this message at the opening of sketchup:
                                      Load Error.png

                                      Sorry for my incompetence. Thank you very much for yours.

                                        The incompetence is mine!
                                        Somehow that old failing file sneaked into the latest RBZ...
                                        I've re-updated the RBZ, so please re-download and reinstall it.
                                        Restart SketchUp and it should work properly now !
