      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...

              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

                  Albert

                    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.

                      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).

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

                                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.

                                        Get the latest version as an RBZ from the PluginStore:

                                        wikii, This is such a cool, useful and needed plugin. Alternatives to get similar results are tedious, time consuming and not always effective. If possible, I'd like to encourage the continued development of this plugin for SU2017 and SU2018.... resurrect this puppy so it can be used without reverting to SU 2015/16.

                                        I hope you release a new version since this does what needs to be done. And again, thank you for making this!!!

                                            Houson, I have a problem 😞

                                            I installed Follow and rotate, checked that all files have been pasted into Plugins folder. I clicked the extension record but the plugin window didn't show up 😞 Instead, Ruby throwed an error:

                                            Error: #<TypeError: wrong argument type (expected Sketchup::Entity or Array of Sketchup::Entity)>

                                            c:/users/dell/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2017/sketchup/plugins/followandrotate_cn.rbs:109:in block in <main>' SketchUp:1:in call'

                                            I preselected a face (with and then without its bounding edges, as TIG advised) and a welded path-curve but nothing happened. Adding quide point at the begining and ending of path did not help either. I read that many people had similar problem formerly but I didn't find solution in the thread.

                                            I removed the .rbs file with _en suffix which prevented SU from splashing error on startup but still I cannot run the tool.
