[Plugin] Selection Toys

[thomthom]

Check the Tools menu.

Tools -> Selection Toys -> Enable Toolbar
then after you do that - check the menu you showed in the screenshot.

Version 2.2.1

• Fixed Select DC Instances

[thomthom]

Sorry - I forgot to include a file. Redownload.

[brookefox]

It was working in V7, but I can't get Sel Toys working in V8. Feeling stupid for a number of reasons.

My configurtion of Sel Toys:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins\TT_Lib
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Tools\TT_Select_Toys

After SU8 re-start:

no context picks for Sel Toys
no pick for Sel Toys in Tools menu drop down

Don't put plugins in the Tools folder.

There should be

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins\TT_Lib\ - (inside, lots of .rb files)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins\tt_selection_toys.rb
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins\TT_Select_Toys\

OK. Thank you. I thought that since it is accessed by the tools menu..., but thinking is not my strong suite.

You must enable it from Tools->Selection Toys->Enable Toolbar before it appears under View->Toolbars->Selection Toys.

While the install didn't seem that clear to me, I didn't notice many install problems in the thread, so likely I am being thick. Perhaps because I assumed it was different than the norm when it is not. (Is the download count related to this, only 141 for such a useful tool? Or is that count only since the last update or somehow not reliable?)

Thanks, again.

[thomthom]

Since last update - there's been thousands of downloads all together of the previous versions.

With my more recent plugins I've started to add more detailed descriptions of how they should be installed.

[brookefox]

I will remove and try to re-install as now for me under Tools, there is no 'Selection Toys'; and so not surprisingly, under View->Toolbars there is no 'Selection Toys'. After entity pick, context menu does not show sel toy choices.

Folders TT_Lib and TT_Select_Toys are both in Plugins, as is file tt_selection_toys.rb.

You need to enable the toolbar under Tools -> Selection Toys -> Enable Toolbar

[brookefox]

Thank you, but under Tools there is no 'Selection Toys.'

[thomthom]

hmm.... no errors upon startup?

[brookefox]

Yes, a few. This is not current; I will update it soon.

[thomthom]

They refer to other plugins. You seem to have multiple issues though. You might want to consider starting from scratch..

[brookefox]

Yes, I thought they referred to other plugins, but you were kind enough to ask. I think I would much rather try to ferret out the problems with a few than mess with the score(s) that seem to be OK. After addressing the apparent issues, the current load error msg. is:

@unknownuser said:

Error Loading File tt_selection_toys.rb
undefined method `require_version' for TT_Lib:Module

[thomthom]

hm... and you have the latest TT_Lib (version 1.x) ?
Can you post a screen of the content of your TT_Lib folder?

[brookefox]

Well, certainly, but I feel I have taken enough of your time and will try to re-DL and re-install in the likely event that I boobied somehow along the way...

Either way I will be back.

Thank you.

It looks like you have an old version of TT_Lib installed. The dates of the files, and the lack of many of the files from the latest version would suggest this. You can confirm by typing TT_Lib::Version into the Ruby Console and see what it returns.

If you recently did download TT_Lib but did not get 1.2.0 then maybe you're getting a cached version.

TT_Lib::Version into the Ruby Console returns.

Results:

@unknownuser said:

TT_Lib::Version
Error: #<NameError: (eval):2537: uninitialized constant TT_Lib::Version>
(eval):2537

Perhaps a cached version: that may let me off the stick a little for screwing things up.

I re-DLd and installed and will advise if fix fails.

Many thanks.

I have sketchup pro 8 ..I've removed my old version of selection toys and downloaded the new one.I already have this 1.2.0 version of TT_lib. But everytime i start sketchup i get a dialog box saying ...Selection Toys requires a new version, 1.2.0, of TT_Lib. Sketchup pauses for a moment...then all the toolbars come in place and selection toys plugin works fine...what should i do to get rid of the dialog box??

[thomthom]

What do you get when you enter TT_Lib::Version into the Ruby Console?
