    sure, screenhunter (free version) works like a fiddle 😛

    I checked first, but did not know what exactly to look for

    so, just to make sure, I deleted TT Vertex, both the file and the .rb
    then downloaded a fresh copy and re-installed it, using your install plugin

    the result:

    ScreenHunter_17 Oct. 09 13.50.jpg
    ScreenHunter_18 Oct. 09 13.51.jpg

    alas:

    oh, and by the way: I did not simply uninstall Kaspersky, I used Revo Uninstaller (free version), which removes every trace of the program. Good riddance ! 😆

      After you get that error, can you try a couple of things:

      Open the Ruby Console - report back the output of these commands:


      TT_Vertex


      load 'TT_Vertex/loader.rb'


      TT_Vertex.debug_info


      I'm really stomped here... I'm starting to wonder if there's some plugin conflict going on.

          Something is wrong with the C-Extension. (The .so file) It's not being loaded.

          @unknownuser said:

          CEXT_VERSION: <undefined>

          Though why it doesn't load I do not know. 😕
          Maybe there's something else on your machine blocking it... ?

          What happens when you type:

          require File.join(::TT_Vertex::CEXT_PATH, 'VT_CEXT')

          or...

          require File.join(TT_Vertex::CEXT_PATH, 'VT_CEXT')

          ?

              Do you have admin rights?

              Do you have UAC enabled?

              Are the permissions of the Plugin folder correct?

                  😲

                  I'm utterly stomped.... 😞

                  The C Extension loads when you load it manually...

                  If you run these after each other:

                  require File.join(::TT_Vertex::CEXT_PATH, 'VT_CEXT') TT_Vertex.debug_info

                  Then it should report at the end the version number of the C Extension - which does then appear to work.

                  The big puzzle is why you are getting that error when you start SketchUp... Nothing is making any sense. It all look to be working ok - and it does when you load things manually. 😕

                      Can you type this into the console:

                      require File.join(::TT_Vertex::CEXT_PATH, 'VT_CEXT') TT_Vertex.debug_info

                      ?

                      After you typed load 'TT_Vertex/loader.rb' then the Vertex Tools menus and toolbars should be available, right?

                      Can you try with an empty Plugins folder? Temporarily rename your Plugins folder and create a fresh one. Then install Vertex Tools. (Use the RBZ package and install with SketchUp's native installer utility. http://www.thomthom.net/software/vertex_tools/manual/getting_started#installing_rbz )

                      Sorry that there's nothing much of a result so far - but I've never had this error reported in the 2+ years of Vertex Tools. 😕

                        thanks for your patience too ❗
                        we are slowly getting somewhere:

                        Can you type this into the console:

                        require File.join(::TT_Vertex::CEXT_PATH, 'VT_CEXT')
                        TT_Vertex.debug_info

                        ?

                        After you typed load 'TT_Vertex/loader.rb' then the Vertex Tools menus and toolbars should be available, right?

                        not anywhere to be found
                        the box is checked in the preferences/extensions window

                        Can you try with an empty Plugins folder? Temporarily rename your Plugins folder and create a fresh one. Then install Vertex Tools. (Use the RBZ package and install with SketchUp's native installer utility.

                        emptied plugins folder as suggested
                        new errors:

                          Say what? With a completely empty Plugins folder you're getting errors??

                          I'm thinking this is a VirtualStore issue. Though I couldn't immediately see a "Compatibility Files" button in your screenshots. But it could be because my German isn't that strong.

                          Can you enter this path into Explorer:
                          C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8
                          ?

                          If there's anything there, then they should be moved to the real Plugin folder.
                          (But since we're debugging here - move any files out of the way. Just so we can ensure the basic is working.)

                            closer and closer, I believe:
                            there was a file in there:
                            plugins, with a subfile 1001bitpro
                            ScreenHunter_28 Oct. 09 22.57.jpg
                            deleted those
                            then completely deleted 1001bitpro and reinstalled it
                            tried again, same errors
                            again deleted 1001bitpro completely
                            new situation:

                                  Hang on - previously you got an error where 'tt_solid_inspector.rb' would not load. Now that error is gone and the 'loader.rb' error is back??

                                  And how the VirtualStore Plugins folder is empty?

                                  Even when you turn on Hidden Files?

                                    I have tried so many things, and I don't remember the sequence

                                    I am learning to master solids, which is why I installed solid inspector
                                    at a certain moment it did work
                                    later I installed fixSolid, which does a nice job
                                    too bad it doesn't work on components yet

                                    since I am working on an important drawing for which I need my plugins I have reinstated the original plugins folder, but with 1001bit removed
                                    that didn't seem to help

                                    the virtualstore plugins folder is now deleted, but I guess reinstalling 1001bit will recreate it
                                    ScreenHunter_32 Oct. 10 10.35.jpg

                                    for the moment I don't need 1001bit
                                    I can easily again rename both plugins folders (mine and the empty one)
                                    just tell me what to do
                                    thanks for your efforts and fast replies

                                      I'd like to test the following:

                                      1:

                                      • Empty VirtualStore
                                      • Empty Plugins Folder
                                        Does any error appear then?

                                      2: (If #1 doesn't produce any error)

                                      • Empty VirtualStore
                                      • Empty Plugins folder
                                      • Install Vertex Tools - using the Install Extension feature in SketchUp
                                        Any errors then?

                                        1.a do you mean completely empty visualstore (or rename it and create an empty one)?
                                        1.b I think you mean: rename plugins folders, so that plugins is empty?

                                        2.a do you mean completely empty visualstore (or rename it and create an empty one)?
                                        2.b I think I tried that (without 2.a) with good results (see page 7, 2/3 down) except for the solid inspector error
                                        and, as said, I don't need solid inspector for the moment

                                          I want to see what happens when you have nothing in the VirtualStore folder and the Plugins folder. Because it's was very odd how it previously seemed to indicate something was still loading. (the solid inspector)

                                          Re: 2.b Yes, we tried that, but before checking the VirtualStore.
