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...

Unfortunately, while plugin starts in v2014, it still does not work. Hope Didier wil fix it

upd. oops, im sorry. its was a conflict with old CompoSpray version

Did you do the temporary edit fix I suggested two posts ago ?

Working in Mac… not sure what to do

Working? Or not working?

as in I know I could drag n drop the .rb file in windows.
but now I am using a mac in office computer. can't do the drag-n-drop anymore. (or is there a way?)
anyway i can alter the .rbZ file to work?

another suggestion. would be superb if there is a option of having square / rectangular tube rather than circular cylinder only.

what is stopping you doing the drag and drop?

.rbx? It should be an .rbx file. Are you using our PluginStore?

Isn't a 4 sided circle a square?
