      Yes, indeed. It's having it in two places that causes the problem.

      Curious thing is, how did it get into the Plugins directory to begin with. It wasn't in there with a new install but some plugin I installed put it there.

        Not, wishing to highjack this thread, after seeing this post, I looked into my plugin folder and darn if I didn't have the extensions.rb there also, plus also having it in the /toos/folder. I removed this plugin from the plugin in folder and left it in the /tools/ folders. I haven't notice that this caused me any problems. However after re-installing just selected plugins about 2 months ago, I am being careful about what I install. I haven't had any problems, such as gray-outs or errors since this new installs.

        Note, I have not installed the Wudworx Board Maker Plugin, so it did not come this plugin's installation.

        TIG, Dave R and Purplev thanks for the info.

        Now back to regular programing.

          extension.rb is only used by plugins that are setup as extensions (that you can enable/disable through the preferences-extensions tab). any plugin that automatically loads up (not setup as extension) does not utilize extension.rb and thus won't have any issues with it. Wudworx IS setup as an extension and when you have extension.rb in 2 places it is 'confusing' the code as it has 2 extensions.rb loaded up with duplicated functions from both.

          As mentioned: extentions.rb should be in SketchUp\Tools. That is where SU installs it to. I believe there is some plugin out there that for some reason includes extensions.rb in the zip file that gets copied to SketchUp\Plugins.

            I just figured out that CAD Father's SCF Toobars.zip file contains extensions.rb and would extract it to the Plugins folder.

                FYI - new upgraded version of the plugin is available since a few moments ago which works much nicer - check it out let me know what you think:

                Link Preview Image
                wudworx

                favicon

                (sites.google.com)

                If you already have a wudworx plugin installed, just copy (overwrite) wwxtool.rbs and wwxboardmaker.rbs into the Plugins/wudworx folder, and copy the icons to Plugins/wudworx/icons folder. make sure the rest of the files stay intact though.

                  Thanks Guys.
                  The wudworx.rb file is in the plugins folder, as is the wudworx folder and contents [see attached]
                  wudworx.png

                  No extensions.rb in the plugins folder, only in Plugins/Tools....

                  I can go to Preferences and activate the toolset but still getting the error after I restart SU. No toolbars available.....

                  Thanks to you all for chiming in and helping out.... I'm keen to give this tool a run!!!

                  Thanks Sharon πŸ‘

                    Hmm... the error you are referring to makes me feel a 2nd extension.rb file is loaded from one of the plugins. If you don't mind trying it out - you could temporarily move out all the other plugins out of the plugins folder, leaving only Boardmaker files there, and see if it'll load. at least this will tell you if the clash is with another plugin - or with the SU install. if it works - start bringing back the plugins one at a time, until you find the one that makes the error reappear - I would be interested to see what's causing this.

                    PM me with Q, or what you find.

                    I guess I should have probably just forgo the 'extension' concept and just have the plugins automatically load up. food for thought for me.

                      You can encrypt your library, but use an un-encrypted loader file where the extension is created. Maybe. I have a feeling the scrambler causes some weird namespace problems.

                      Hi

                        yes, the scrambler does create very weird namespacing issues, which I have already addressed at this point. this however doesn't seem to be it. I have seen this before when extensions.rb was loaded twice. regardless, although it seems other plugins are giving mine a hard time, it may be easiest to just simplify mine and not have to deal with this.

                        for now I am more curious to see what is causing the error in this case.
