Seems super.

Does it work for a free v8?

Can't seem to install this.
Please [re]read the post immediately before your own...

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.

Cheers

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:

Error: c:/users/ddd/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2015/sketchup/plugins/followandrotate_en.rbs:49: invalid multibyte char (UTF-8)

I will be thankful for any solution to this issue.
Thank you in advance.

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 wikii Is it possible to update "follow me and rotate" for sketchup 2017 ?

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

[chri]

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.

Yes, if you read the posts above yours, this has already been reported. Unless the author fixes it, the extension won't work, It doesn't seem likely that the author will fix it so it's probably a good idea to find other ways to manage what you did with this one.

...or use an old version of Su!
