Plugins as a source of bugsplat etc.
-
Extrusion tools appears to be the culprit.

@Mike-Amos
Do you have the latest version of my Extrusion Tools installed ?
If so what are you trying to do when it 'splats' ??
It shouldn't clash with anything else when it's not in use, so it seems to be something you are trying to do...
Several of its functions were superseded with the superior Fredo6 tools like CurviLoft... -
I have the latest version installed. I use extrude edges by rails because it gives more control over the result than curviloft. I do use both from time to time to see which gives best results on different car parts. For the creation of front wing units I prefer Extrude tools for the most part.
For some reason just lately after I select no to delete the original lines, instant bugsplat. There is however another piece of odd behaviour where setting markers with the measuring tool, I will see two dotted lines when i finish using the tool.
Not sure where the issue lies tbh. Graphics card glitch?
-
I have tried this with simpler models and it is 100% repeatable.
-
Extrude Tools - if you select yes to delete the original lines, is it then splat free ?
I assume you refer to the native measuring tool - are you 'toggling' between guide liens and points [which will have a short guide attached] ? -
Not toggling and deleting original lines results in bugsplat too.
The guidelines thing is something I notice happens, a 'lag' when I finish setting the guidelines.

@Mike-Amos
So to be clear...
When you use the EEbyRails and it gets to the prompt to keep or delete the original lines it splats in v24 - irrespective of which choice you make....I've retested it and can't get the same issue - .
If you open the Ruby Console and retry the EEbyRails are there any error messages at all, before the 'splat' ?

So you have another extension loading which causes the issue !
MX
Which in turn has aUtilmodule
which sets an objectcamera on
Relating toSketchup::Page.
It then hasunloading Fire data load
Resulting in1AA Also Extended Cut
Which are all called byOnActiveModelChangedOr to put it more simply...
You have an extension which creates a module called
MX
This adds an observer to the model
OnActiveModelChanged
This seems to run all the time - perhaps activating as the extension is loaded.
When the model changes something happens with its code as it looks at pages [scenes], and it can cause a BugSplat.So it's not directly related to Extrude Tools at all - a 3rd party extension is hijacking your model and splatting when something happens in another extension...
Search through your extensions and find one setting up
module MX- that's the real culprit. -
I thank you, Sir.

Maxwell render. I have spoken to next limit, no solution.
I saved the file post extrude, before doing anything else and the file save OK WITH the extrusion.
-
It worked once, not again.
-
OK, went with the next limit suggestion of disabling maxwell render, none of these methods worked so I removed maxwell render completely. Extrusion tools now works perfectly well.
Waiting for next limit to come up with a fix but not holding my breath. -
OK, Transmutr failing now. Completely removed sketchup. Nothing left for the time being.
-
OK, reinstalled, when I got to installing curviloft and cleanup, Sketchup opened slowly. I disabled those two plugins and SKetchup opens normally. Not tried Transmutr yet.
-
Transmutr from within SKetchup will open, but does not import the transmuted file, simply transmutes it.
-
Sounds like you are in a right mess. Is Maxwell still supported?
-
Too many issues appearing all over the place to give a clear picture I can see, no more chillblast pc's coming my way. Being lied to about simple issues is a step too far.
-
-
Sketchup is slow to load the welcome screen. Only takes a few plugins to get that way too. No bugsplats and maxwell render reinstalled, working. Clueless at the moment.
