I use SketchUp 2014.
The file (attached) contains an image and a single poligon realized and exported in KML by Google Earth
When I run the kml tools for any files .kml everywhere it is in PC (c:, Desktop, other directory) always it says:

"the model does not contain a Google Earth terrain. Do you want import one first , Yes No"
in both cases
"File seems non to exist. Please check the file path does not contain Unicode characters. This is a limitation of SketchUp and its Ruby version."

Where is the problem?

Thank you for all contributions.

Antimo

Good in Google Earth but not in SU.

...){|@dlg, json| is where the issue lies...
In newer Rubies you cannot use an instance variable [ @...] as a argument in a block.
As it's an RB file you could try finding all such occurrences in the reported files.
Replace @dlg with dlg
You need to do this with all {|...|... blocks BUT not elsewhere in the code as I expect @dlg will be needed...
After the |...| you might be able to add @dlg=dlg to minimize the required editing, if @dlg is defined earlier, or used later ??

Perhaps the author can do a fix ??

In Google Earth I "Save Place As..." contours.kml. I use your tool Extensions > KML Tools > Import KML File to import it into sketchup, it says "The model does not contain a Google Earth terrain. Do you want to import one first?". I click the "No" button.

Then it says "File seems not to exist. Please check that the file path does not contain Unicode characters. This is a limitation of SketchUp and its Ruby version."

Suggestions?
