[Plugin] ExtrudeTools - Full Set
-
@ynchen
I have tested the SKP and get good results.
See the attached image.
The up/down orientation of the face does not affect the result.
The over all size of the geometry is within sensible limits.You errors...
EE Error 3:
means that it is failing to add a curve from the cpoints it has got from the melding-profile...EE Error 4:
is a similar error relating to the profile...I can't reproduce any errors...
Your image shows one corrected located profile and one set on cpoints following a reversed curve, NOT the profile/melding-profiles lines... before the early failure
Here are my thoughts...
Do you have Guides switched on?
The toolset uses cpoints etc...Your SKP is v6 - I don't have that version readily available to test so it might be a limitation - from available methods for your set up; although the API methods used are for >=v6 ?
Why not upgrade to a newer 'free' version of SketchUp - it is much improved... v2013 'Make' ?
Different versions can co-exists on the same PC.Are you using the latest version of this Extrude toolset [v2.2] ?
If not then please get the latest RBZ from the PluginStore pages...
http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=ExtrudeTools
If you have v8M2 or newer you can AutoInstall from the SketchUcation PluginStore dialog within SketchUp or use the Preferences > Extensions > Install... button to do it automatically for you...
In SketchUp versions <8.M2 you'll need to rename the RBZ as a .ZIP file, and then extract its contents and manually move them into the Plugins folder***[if you are not an Admin, make yourself an Admin using the Users Control-Panel: then make sure the Plugins folder has FULL read/write permissions set for every user/group listed under Properties > Security > Edit...]
***Always leave helper files within the same subfolder[s] that are inside the ZIP.
After an update restart SketchUp twice: as it'll need to remove older versions is you have a very out of date installation etc...
Lastly, what other plugins do you have loading?
Are any of those quarantined or rogues, as explained in other posts ?

Something does not work, can you, please take a look at the following pictures
Perhaps the plugin is'nt up to date or there is something wrong with my machine !Chri

Did you install a fresh copy of TIG's plugin? Or did you just drag the old copy over from the previous Plugins folder?

hi DAVE

If you get v2.2 of the tool's RBZ from the PluginStore and install it from the RBZ [i.e. don't drag+drop from an opened RBZ as if it were a ZIP file etc] you should then get fresh copies of all of the needed files [including the required helper "deBabelizer.rb"].
The error you posted relates to an incompatible version of that file - old ANSI v new UTF8-without-BOM.
The new version of Ruby used by SketchUp 2014 is less forgiving and cannot use that text file encoding.
Most authors have updated their scripts to have the correct encoding, and thereby suit all versions of SketchUp.
The files in this tool's latest PluginStore RBZ are all correctly encoded.
To double check I have just reinstalled from a newly downloaded RBZ and it worked fine - the enclosed files are all correctly encoded - I checkedIt looks like you copied an older one over from an earlier version's Plugins folder ?
Reinstall properly, restart and retest...Or have you installed anything else including deBabelizer.rb ?
The few RBZs that do include it should all be correctly encoded if the latest versions are downloaded and installed...
An old version will cause issues... -
Here's v2.3
A minor glitch [typo] is now fixed and it's compatible with v2014 once again

If you want confirmation, loft wasn't working for me in 2014 and now is. Thanks.
-
The EEby Loft error was a strange one.
A very silly typo, that I'd have expected to make it fail in ANY version seems to be glossed-over by the Ruby of earlier versions.
The "princess-pea-under-the mattress" miss-picky Ruby2.0 didn't like it...
It was easy to fix when I got my head around it...

Hi TIG
I have tried once again .. and there is always something wrong .
what i have done1 - Erasure of all new plugins
2 - Installation of plugin Extrude Tools 2.3 with plugin store + Autoinstall
3 - Closure and rebootChri
-
Why does the error message include "invalid byte sequence in UTF-8"?
French Windows and English SketchUp?
-
This is most strange.
I have just repeated all of your steps...
It reinstalls and works fine after a restart [just in case something was adrift]...That RBZ's version of deBabelizer.rb IS the newest, and therefore compatible - I converted it a few months ago...
BUT your file says 02/12/2013 AND that IS the current file ?Try this known-to-work version [install from the attached RBZ]...
Restart SketchUp to retest...If this fixes, then it the mystery deepens...
BUT at least you'll have a working version...
-
PS:
Can you attached your version of deBabelizer.rb that is raising the issue on your system, so I can compare it with the 'real' [working] one that you should have...Can you also check that you have FULL security permissions to the Plugins folder...
It should be set automatically... -

That IS the correct file.
It should NOT raise a UTF8 error...
It is correctly encoded...
It works for me.
It works for others...Weird...
Incidentally, don't confuse the subfolders containing some files that are shipped with SketchUp v2014, with the main Plugins folder that is now located in your Users account...
