i have problems using this plugin:

With this tool, you are able to import both realtime and historic Pachube data (i.e. sensor and environment data) into popular 3D CAD package Google SketchUp. The incoming data can be used to generate or modulate a 3D model of a building or environment, and enables sophisticated design-decisions that are based on actual (and not simulated) sensor and environment data. Possible uses include designing interactive façades, undertaking post-occupancy evaluation (which is where you evaluate how well the design performs) and sensor-based form generation.
Here's a video introduction – it's very basic, but shows how incoming Pachube data can modulate 3D elements (in this case just blocks) inside SketchUp:

If anyone can help, my system is on windows xp with latest sektchup, the pictures of the popup screen are not there, and the connection to the feed is not connecting. I now that this is a problem for the pachube team but maybe someone is using this too and may have a look into the ruby code.

Hi totoete,

I've never used it, but are there any errors when you open the Ruby Console window and try to run the plugin?

Ugh, the plugin it uses all global variables and no namespaces.

Anyway, I've looked at the code and there isn't much I can do in this case since it looks like the plugin is running. I don't have a way to test the connections or environment. Best to ask pachube support.
