[Plugin] Toggle Units

[jiminy-billy-bob]

You should try to contact Matt by email or something, so that he can fix it.

In the meantime, open the file
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins\Matt_Toggle_Units.rb
in notepad.

Change the last line from
Sketchup.register_extension (ext,true)
to
Sketchup.register_extension ext, true

Then it should work fine.

BTW, even if we can't get in touch with him, we cannot redistribute a fixed version of his plugin, as he states in his files "All Rights Reserved".

EDIT : It seems he visited the forum on Feb 27, so he should be around somewhere

Hi Pete! Thank you for your kind words..

i don't use SU and Ruby anymore, my new job as musician doesn't need for these kind of software!
But I love programming so I will try to do something for you..

I just have to reinstall SU!

There was a single method (arguments) error in the extension 'loader' .rb.
I've corrected it to method(arguments) so it is now v2014 compliant.
I updated it for the PluginStore entry [v3.000]...

Hello all,

I still have some troubles with this very usefull extension.
It also seems to be related to a UTF8 issue as you can see the error message below.
I have Win7 64bit pro. Any idea ?

The language string files haven't been encoded as UFT8 and have a silly extensions [.en, .fr]...

it would be simpler to use .txt so people can edit their own copies.

Dam' - missed it - I'll look & update asap...

[TIG]

Only the FR file was wrongly encoded as ANSI !
The EN one worked fine...
The plugin's HTML file shows NO encoding at all - which is just weird !
It'll be fixed and an update published shortly...
[mod=:3i457397]Update v3.001 with correctly encoded FR file etc now in the PluginStore.
.[/mod:3i457397]

[brendanherri]

Works fine !
Thank you TIG, you're great.
Merci beaucoup.

First, this extension is incredibly valuable for me. So many thanks for it! When I find things like this I feel stupid [face palm], I didn't seek it earlier... so much time wasted!

2nd on feature request for presets. For example, it would be amazing if I could have/make three:

1. decimal, mm, 0mm precision (sometimes I do my detailed work or reference other models)
2. decimal, in, 0.000" precision (most of the time when I'm doing detail work, this is my preference)
3. architectural, 0" precision (my output presentations are almost always feet and whole inches)

The newer Ruby version is unsympathetic to coding errors !
Using a plain-text editor, like Notepad++, edit the file:
C:/Users/Architekt/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2019/SketchUp/Plugins/Matt_Toggle_Units/Toggle_Units.rb
Find line #205
return if not settings.include?("true")
Add an initial #
#return if not settings.include?("true")
Save the file and restart SketchUp, to test it...

Other 'returns' in the code seem OK...
