        Again, if you read the last few posts in this thread you can see that Pilou offered a possible alternative. There may be something else that could do what you are trying to do but you haven't told us that, yet. You could start a new thread in the Newbie category, share your model file and describe what it is you are trying to accomplish. We'll surely be able to give you guidance.

                  Hei, I am facing a problem regarding this plugin. When i installed it a load error is generated saying Error: sketchup:1:in 'eval'. Moreover, this plugin is not working. It is showing in "Extension" Tab but not working even after trying various permutations of usage. Please, rectify this error along with the specified glitch.

                    If you read back through the last few pages of this thread you will see that this plugin does not work in SketchUp 2017 or later and is not supported anymore. Best to use some alternative. Pilou provided some options a few posts up from yours.

                      Thanks people for telling me that the plugin named "follow and rotate" doesn't work in SU17 and later versions. But anyone please enlighten us with the alternative(s) till the time author brings the updated version of FaR so that there is no lag in work. Thank You! πŸ˜„ πŸ˜„

                        There is probably some other extension that will do what you need. Which one depends on exactly what you are trying to model.

                        I wouldn't hold my breath. It's been years since the author made any updates to this extension. I think it's fairly safe to assume there won't be any.

                            Thank you!
                            Why not as separate extension?

                              No problem πŸ˜„ hope u enjoy.

                              Why all in one:

                              1- Practicality for dev(me) - Easier to code and update since each extension requires:

                              • 1 loader file;
                              • 1 menus/core file;
                                • dependencies;
                                • feature development files.
                                  Putting all together means I have to do it only once.

                              2- Practicality for users - Easier to distribuite:
                              Multiple extensions shares the same dependecies, if its separate theres 2 options:
                              a) you ship the dependencies on every extension. (increasced size, error chance and harder to update)
                              b) you make the dependencies as separate extension (such as Freedo's library), so user now have to download at least 2 files.
                              All in one means the dependencies will be managed and downloaded only once, on same file.
                              Also, it makes easier for people to know about my work.

                              3- I see it as a suite of tools.
                              Imagine having to download SU tools one by one by your choice.

                              4- It all weights less than 1mb, then whats the problem?
                              just use the tools you need and leave the rest aside.
                              As example, you may never use SU sandbox tool, but it ships together.

                              Thanks for using it,
                              Cya πŸ˜›
