[Plugin] Selection Toys

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.

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:

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?

I get this...

TT_Lib::Version
Error: #<NameError: (eval):2307: uninitialized constant TT_Lib::Version>
(eval):2307

wonder why i'm getting an error when selection toys plugin is working fine...

thomthom

what? you get that error but Selection Toys is still loaded?

Something is messed up here. Can you post a screenshot of your plugins folder?

Sorry - it should be TT_Lib::VERSION - note the big capitals.
