      This might get it going for you. On the appropriate file, this is copied from the lines to tubes thread.

      @tig said:

      Didier needs to rework his rb file for v2014 compatibility and republish it...

      BUT you can do it temporarily for your own use, even though his script is 'packed'.
      Open the file lines2tubes.rb in Notepad, and go to the end:
      Change
      ...}.unpack("m")**.to_s**
      to read
      ...}.unpack("m")**[0]**
      Save the changes.
      Restart SketchUp.

      The script will then load and work in v2014 !

      This simple fix can be applied to any of Didier's 'packed' scripts that aren't working in v2014.

      These edited scripts will also load and work in earlier SketchUp versions too... ๐Ÿค“

          And if you scroll to the end as Tig says do you not see the bit that needs to be changed.

            Thanks for the response!

            I changed the code to read as TIG said it should (image 1). I also tried it with a space between the ) and the [ with no difference

            Now, when I start SU, I get this error message (image 2)

            thoughts?

                Weird...

                While I understand the drive to "upgrade" to Ruby 2.0, it is pretty frustrating that many old plugins don't work any more.

                Cheers, Chuck

                      I didn`t read TIG's post. I followed his instructions and it works fine in su 14.

                      Thanks TIG

                        Didier has agreed that I might update some of his Plugins in the PluginStore so they are v2014/2015 compatible.
                        This is the latest version http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=align_tool

                          Thanks for the updates Tig. I was missing Align 3D.

                              It works fine in v2014 and v2015.
                              It appears near the end of the Context menu as 'Align' - you must have something Selected...

                              What happens if you copy+paste this command into the Ruby Console + <enter> ?
                              load 'align_tool.rb'

                              The older versions <=v1.1 are NOT compatible beyond v2013, because of the Ruby upgrade.
                              So, are you using the very latest version [v1.1x] available from the PluginStore which was made compatible with all SketchUp versions [sorry but it's in ENglish only]...

                                I get this

                                load 'align_tool.rb'
                                true

                                That's really weird. I am getting this option align in my right click menu. Restarted sketchup and wow! my option is coming.

                                This problem was occuring in both my PC and laptop. I am sitting on my laptop currently and the problem is gone. Didn't know what created it. Moreover on both my machines, I installed the latest version straightaway by accessing the plugin store inside sketchup via SCF plugin. Thanks for replying. ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ‘ Maybe this ruby console has healed my problem, dont know. ๐Ÿ˜„

                                  If it recurs see if there are any Ruby Console messages and post them.
                                  Maybe it was just a general glitch that needed a SketchUp restart to fix it ?

                                    There's a huge issue with this tool (I noticed it after dekade of using ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ) -
                                    it distorts objects. Additional operation needed (reset skew, rotation) afterwards. Any chance to to fix it please?
