Selection Box problem after intalling rubys
-
I recently upgraded to Sketchup 7.0 and installed many of the ruby scripts (all of which are extremely helpful, thanks to all of you). Anyways, at first everything seemed to work fine. Then I noticed when I would select a group/component or faces with edges and I would either right click or click the edit toolbar the selection bow would disappear. Ungrouped faces stay selected but not the edges, and groups don't stay selected at all. When I remove all the ruby files from the plug in folder, everything works fine again.
I don't recall if this started happening after using a particular ruby or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I would hate to have to give up using any of the scripts.
Thanks in advance - also, if this should be posted in a different forum please move, this is my first post so I am not sure about the best way to go about asking questions.

One tedious but effective way to figure it out is to remove all rubies into a separate folder and then start adding them one at a time until you figure out exactly which script is the offender. That should work. Then once you find the problem script, if you don't need it, just remove it. But I'd recommend posting what script it is here. There is a chance that there is a known solution. Its also possible that it was copied over wrong (that happens much more than seems likely, but its VERY common). So if you could identify the script, you could also try deleting it and re-installing from the source file.
Hope those suggestions help. Let us know if you find the script that is giving problems,

Thanks for the fast feedback. I did what you suggested - it didn't take nearly as long as I thought and it worked nicely.
It turns out the problem script was projection-extension.rbSince I am not really sure what that does anyways, it should be easy enough for me to just delete it, but if there is a work around maybe someone could post it.Thanks again for the help

THat is a toolbar with 12 scripts in it. It can be found here:
http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/en_geo_page.htmI don't know what is breaking that script. Often it is a collision between 2 scripts. So its possbiel that another script is breaking that one. If you want to try to get the script to work, try deleting it and the directory called "Projection". Then install the files from the zip file in the link I gave. And make sure to delete all these scripts if you have them:
project_point_line.rb
project_point_plane.rb
project_lines_plane.rb
project_line_planes.rb
project_faces_plane.rb
project_faces_vector.rb
push_pull_z_set.rb
push_pull_vector.rb
ClineAtFaceIntersection.rb
extrude_lines.rb
Randompushpull.rb
line2cyl.rbI believe those are all the scripts that Didier has included in the toolbar. So they will all get re-installed. But if you leave them in the plugins directory, it is possible that they will cause conflicts with the script. Hope that helps and isnt too poorly explained. Let me know if its confusing,

Actually, I see he has an updated version of that script. So don't re-install it. Delete it and the projections folder. Then download projection_v6.zip (the next on the list on that page). Or here's a direct link:
And he says there are better directions inside that zip file for the installation. Hope that helps,

Also, when experience problems with plugins, open the Console Window as it might output useful information to pin point the problem. Remember, you have to open the window before you do any action you know fail. Opening it afterwards will have no use.
