Sketchucation Tools 5.0.2

gullfo

it's this line:

Sketchup.require(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'DM_ProfileBuilder3/langhandler'))

in the DM_ProfileBuilder3.rb
it's likely that the profile builder folder did not get copied. when i "migrated" my 2025 plugins to 2026, it missed 4 folders from the "required" lines. once the folders were copied over, it all works.

note on my system the DM_ProfileBuilder3 folder copied, it was other plugin folders which did not.

It requires Libfredo to function.

Can you please cause the error dialog again, this time click the bottom-left button to 'Copy All Errors' to your clipboard.
Then paste the full error report into a reply here.
It should tell us if DM's code is somehow messing up our files' loading...

@gullfo
So this file/folder copying was an error with the v2026 extension-migration tool by SketchUp, not copying all DM's files over and causing an error ??
It has nothing to do with the SketchUcation extension - except in so far that it breaks it and stops it loading !!

Hi Dear Rich, Tig ! Firstly, many many thanks for helping us users out at Sketchucation !!

I have an error cropping up on my system after installing the latest SketchUcationTools_v5.0.2.rbz update, from the link provided by your good self.

I was updating LibFredo6 to the latest version, and thereafter I just installed SketchUcationTools_v5.0.2.rbz on my SU2018 Pro system. It made my previous installation disappear, and after restarting Sketchup it now gives the following error on startup, while many of my purchased Fredo plugins (like Thrupaint etc) have stopped working which now ask me to install sketchucation extensionstore v3.1. Can you please help...? Screenshots of the load errors are attached herein below.... Will be deeply obliged if you could help: -

Thanks!

@TIG yes that is my observation. the missing folders from the 2026 install-first-run migration process cause the errors in the sketchucation startup.

@Macho3001

I'll look into it further...

Meanwhile:
It looks like you have an Extension loaded which doesn't report a Version in the Extension Manager - if it returns '' it ought to be OK, but with a nil it cause the trip hazard.
A known cause is some of Chuck Vali's stuff.
But the nil return was trapped for this very reason.

Can you check your Extensions and unload any without a Version set, and see it SketchUcation then loads on a restart. And let me know what Extension[s] are the culprits...

Hi TIG !!

Thnks so much for the pointer dear TIG. I unloaded Chuck Vali's Instant Architecture but that did not solve the issue. Also, please pardon my limited knowledge, but could you please guide me how (and where) to check the Version / Version Set of any extension.... Is it where it says "Unsigned" ? I am attaching a screenshot of my SU2018 Pro Extension Manager screen below.

Thanks !

By the way, the load error only started AFTER I updated LibFredo6 to the latest version !! I don't know if that piece of information helps !!

There was absolutely no problem before the LibFredo6 updation...

TIG

@Macho3001
The > on the right end of the extension details, if you click it it expands the entry and shows the Version, or in the case of Instant Architecture == nothing !
The 'unsigned' message appears if an extension hasn't been processed by Trimble/SketchUp, if the extensions is older it's probably not been updated in the last few years, that's OK if it's from a trusted source and your Extension Manager's > Loading Policy is set to Unrestricted, otherwise it's loading is blocked.

I'm preparing an update to the SketchUcation tools to robustly trap for this kind of unexpected problem from poorly structure code by others...
