      If you can't be bothered to read... 😒
      Here's a précis...

      Delete the file FaR .rb, which has the 'en' suffix.
      When SketchUp restarts the 'cn' version will load properly, giving you the ENglish version [perversely!]
      The faulty 'en' version will not be there to load and so no more errors at startup. 😄

        Oh no TIG, then you misunderstood me...I was actually very glad with your analysis 😄..But I did what you wrote down and it still gave an error message(only deleting the cn version). I just removed the plugin, installed it again, removed the CN file...and again the error. Maybe my 'cocktail' of plugins doesn't match with this particular one! 😄
        Well please don't spend to much time on this as I'm, I guess, the only one with this problem...Thanks Tig!

          NO !
          You do NOT remove the CN suffixed version 😒
          Leave it where it is.
          It is actually the ENglish version within the CN wrapper, owing to a code typo by the author.
          So that CN version loads and works OK - giving ENglish menus rather than the ChiNese ones it was meant to make...

          In v2014 the EN has some ChiNese text which causes failures...
          So if you remove the EN version that error will stop appearing as SketchUp starts.

          The CN one loads and works OK on its own...

          BUT the EN one will always fail in v2014, so NOT having that EN one load just stops any related errors !

                See a few posts back http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=530627#p530627 and then http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=531322#p531322
                One of the .RBS files inside the RBZ is wrongly encoded [in Chinese!], so if you delete it the other version will load and work OK... Note the error in the file naming that is confusing - remove the EN but keep the CN version...

                  Seems super.

                  Does it work for a free v8?

                  Can't seem to install this.

                    You need to access this plugin's folder inside Plugins, and then delete an RBS file - illogically the EN version is wrong! - keep the CN one... 😒

                              You might do the same thing I suggested in the post just above yours in response to the post before that in which the poster reported the exact same problem.

                                    What makes you think there is a toolbar button that is missing? If you watch the tutorial video in the first post, you see it tells you the tool is accessed through the Plugins menu which is now called the Extensions menu.

                                        Hello,
                                        I followed the advice of Tig : "Find the 'en' version and remove it from the v2014 Plugins folder [find that folder using the appropriate utility in the SketchUcation submenu]."

                                        But "FAR" does not work properly to model a rope.
                                        Can I get help
                                        thank in advance

                                            You do not seem to have actually removed the ..._en,rbs file as the error-message relates to that !
                                            To recap...
                                            There are two version of the plugin installed by the RBZ.
                                            The ..._en one loads in preference to the .._cn one,
                                            Perversely the .._en one has issues because of Chinese characters etc - so that needs removing [..._en.rbs] and the other one [with ..._cn.rbs ending] will be used loaded successfully...

                                            Note how the author has misnamed the two files before encrypting them !
