Profile Builder released!
-
I love this plug-in! As soon as I saw the video I had to buy it.
One question that I think hasn't been answered (and forgive me if it has been) has to do with adding textures to a profile.
I created a wall profile that was then used to create several walls(Placement Point: Bottom Left). When I try to add a texture that has a definite vertical orientation, it seems to rotate the texture to the horizontal(in direction of extrusion). Exploding the group and then adding the texture seems to work but adds a few extra steps that I would rather not take. Is there something that I am missing? Or is this a Sketchup thing? (Follow me appears to keep the orientation right BTW.)
Thanks in advance.

Thanks again for this one Dale, it saved my butt tonight.

hm... I've used PB in SU8 - but I just realised I haven't edited a path yet - as it just crashed on me when I tried it.

Yes, this bug has been reported awhile ago to the SketchUp team. I need to check with them to see if it will be fixed in the next update.

You know what caused it?
-
Any update on the su8 edit path bug?

According to someone on Smustard, SU maintenance patch 8.0.4811 for sketchup fixes the bug:

Yup!

I'm having a problem with Profile builder. I can't access any of the profile libraries even though they're correctly located.

Hi Marian,
Sorry about the wait. Do you have a file in your ProfileBuilder directory called 'profile_libraries.txt'? If so, what is in this file? It might be pointing to another folder.
It looks like you have your profile libaries in the right place... Did you have it working in a previous version of SketchUp? Has it ever worked for you?
Cheers,

Hi Dale, Thanks for replying.

No, there's no file like that, there's one called profileBuilder which seems to be a....Cascading Style Sheet Document and that doesn't have any folder address.

No I haven't tried it in SU6 and it never worked since I bought it a few weeks ago.
-
Here's what I have in my folder - it works fine
-
I have the same things. I don't get it.
Does it have any known conflicts with some plugin?

Can you open the Ruby Console.
Then run ProfileMaker.
Click on the various drop-downs and options and see what errors you get reported...
Post a copy here...
-
This is what I get.
ProfileMaker Error; #<NameError; (eval);894; uninitialized constant ProfileMaker> -
I didn't mean type 'ProfileMaker'
Open the Ruby Console and run ProfileMaker by selecting it off the menu or its toolbar as usual... -
Oh...I didn't get any error while opening it or pushing buttons. Nothing works and it doesn't show any errors.
The ruby consoles clearly registers when editing and deleting but nothing happens when I push the profile builder buttons. -

Try opening Internet Explorer and go to Tools->Internet Options->advanced->reset...
You could also try upgrading your version of Internet explorer if you haven't done so for awhile.
You could also try deleting PB entirely and then re-installing.
