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')
?
-
Also, what does the File Properties for the VT_CEXT.so file look like?
-
Do you have admin rights?
Do you have UAC enabled?
Are the permissions of the Plugin folder correct?
-
whow Thomtom, you are really driving me to a much higher level than I possess or ever would imagine to reach
the learning grade is steep
but with a good teacher
you are an extremely good toourist guide in this wonderful landDo you have admin rights? yes
Do you have UAC enabled? ???
Are the permissions of the Plugin folder correct? I suppose so

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

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.
-
what do you want me to do ?
-
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 windowCan 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:
but now the menus and toolbars are available

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
deleted those
then completely deleted 1001bitpro and reinstalled it
tried again, same errors
again deleted 1001bitpro completely
new situation:
alas, still:
-
I don't know if this has anything to do with it but what is in the Google folder under Adobe?

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 yetsince 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 helpthe virtualstore plugins folder is now deleted, but I guess reinstalling 1001bit will recreate it
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.
-
... and it might be that I had installed solid inspector in between tests, as I was in the learning curve for solids
which would probably explain the errorplease be more specific for both folders: empty completely or temporarily rename and create an emty one

Doesn't matter how you empty them. Rename, move or whatever.
Just try to start SketchUp with empty Plugins folder and empty VirtualStore folder.
If it starts without errors with empty Plugins folder, install Vertex Tools.
If Vertex Tools then works it would indicate some issue with your existing plugins folder and you'd have to incrementally start to reinstall your other plugins and see when any error appearing.
We would then be able to identify when the problem occurs and determine if we're looking at a plugin conflict.
