Have you got the recent v1.3, with the require 'deBabelizer.rb' added ?
This should fix it ?

TIG

If calculate is a reserved term in Mac Ruby versus PC I'm surprised...
You can edit the file and change every ' calculate' to say ' do_calculation' and see if that helps - if so let me know asap

driven

Yes it's v1.3

changed to tig_calculate (lines 131, 815)

Error; #<NoMethodError; undefined method `db' for CofGravity;Class>
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/CofGravity.rb;155;in `calculate'
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/CofGravity.rb;815

but the colour changed

You mustn't have changed them all as it's still calling 'calculate' ?
I've redone the original and v1.4 with full 'do_calculation' will be there asap...

TIG

Here's v1.4 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=229401#p229401 with 'calculate' replaced with 'do_calculation' to see if that fixes it - if not I have exhausted all ideas so far !!!

driven

Ok, v1.4

Error; #<NoMethodError; undefined method `db' for CofGravity;Class>
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/CofGravity.rb;156;in `do_calculation'
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/CofGravity.rb;816

sorry

...Any more ideas welcome...

Not yet, TIG - at least not anything that would be clear. I was just thinking aloud and combining my ideas. Maybe when I have already used the plugin for such things.

Thanks anyway!

TIG

Aaaarrrgh...
BUT as we can all see it is defining db as a method inside the particular class::def and then using it - the way it's used loads of times in other tools too... It works fine on PC so what is so special about a Mac ?
Puzzled... Any Mac scripters have any ideas ???

driven

it is in the db method,

I just ran composite on to groups and got this

Error; #<NoMethodError; undefined method `db' for CofGravity;Class>
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/CofGravity.rb;604;in `composite'
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/CofGravity.rb;817

TIG,

Sorry for the earlier abbreviated message - I got called away from the computer.

I get the following when trying CofG (Version 1.4 here).

Possibly something to do with the version of Ruby? Macs running Snow Leopard come with a pre-packaged version 1.8.7 of Ruby.

TIG

The error is with the db def method... BUT it ha been and is still working fine on PCs and it's been used in similar ways in many other tools... so why the problem here ?
To avoid having to add deBabelizer(string, lingvo_file_path) to every string in the output that needs translating I make a shortcut method def db for each tool
that alls deBabelizer and has the lingvo_file_path hardcoded into it, and works simply as db(string).
It's easy and effective in all my recent tools, so why the problem here ???
It's clear now that it wasn't the missed out 'require' or other possible clashes that were causing this... BUT why it's not working is a mystery...

Surely you can call a def inside another def though ??? even with 1.8.7 on Macs ???

I had checked for any evidence of Vista stupidity given past experience with having to look at the Virtual Store. But I've tried v. 1.4 and it works great!

Thank you so much for your incredible plugins. I'm using them for sci-fi mesh analysis and they are invaluable.

TIG

Seems to work fine on PC but on Mac it falls over... I WILL find a solution...

driven

I'll try it on an sterile Mac i.e. just on it's own, see what happens, give me five minutes

driven

Same error when v1.4 + debabelizer are the only rubies installed

Dave R

TIG,

It's not all Macs that have problems, though. It works just fine on mine. Could it be another plugin or something?

TIG

As I suspected
I'll sleep on it... and see how I can devise a work around in my sleep...
PC works fine - come on Mac's what's up with you !!!
Is it a particular version of Mac OS and the Ruby version that they have ???

driven

well, mine are
both running SU 7.1
both running OSX 10.5.8
both running Ruby version 1.8.6
MacBookPro is a fresh SU instal with just v1.4 bits
iMac is littered with rubies but very few clashes are left roaming free, it is also running rubygems, but that doesn't seem to effect any thing else in SU

both give same error

Must be something wrong with my Mac, then.
