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...

Oh I had it working, just couldn't find it in the menu at first, then forgot to delete my post.

Read TIG's post just a few up from yours.

After installing the plugin on SU 2015 I have the following message on SU start:

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.

I installed the plugin, but I get an error message whenever I start SU.
also the plugin is not visible as a toolbar.
I have SU15 pro...

TIG

Reread this, about using the correct [but oddly named] version http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=537020#p537020

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]."

http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=13014%26amp;start=120#p530627

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

follow-me and rotate in sketchup 2017

hi

Same problem as Albert .
I had trying after removing the "en" file but the plugin still does not work !
The error message has disappeared but i don't see the plugin menu.

@chri

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 !

I'm not sure the plugin works properly on 2017 anyway.
I installed it earlier and it was very flaky, (highly technical term).

pilou

Works in the 2016!
Seems not yet in 2017 (even remove en .... )

TIG

I've not tested it in v2017 - but if it is "flaky" it will now be unfix-able because its code is encrypted !

Hi TIG

your are righ, i made a mistake during installation
it works fine with 2015 2016 but not 2017 version.

Thanks

Doesn't work with 2017 version. I removed the en version of the file.
I made polyline and a face, selected both, clicked "Extensions/FollowAndRotate" but nothing happens, no dialog box.
