                        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... 🤓

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

                                    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. 👍 👍 👍

                                            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... 🤓

                                            Working in Mac… not sure what to do 😞
                                            'Notepad.exe' is the PC's default plain-text editor.
                                            You will also have a similar simple one on your MAC [TextEdit?].
                                            For an even better text-editing tool look at MAC's free TextWrangler, which is like the PC's free Notepad++,exe...
                                            There are several other free ones too...
                                            Never edit a plugin with a word-processor !
