[Plugin] TT_Lib²

mitcorb

Hi mamoune:
Go to the first post in the thread. Right click on the file tt_lib.zip, Save Link as... and save it to your computer, say, Desktop. Unzip the files to your Sketchup Plugins subfolder. As ThomThom says, this is not a stand alone plugin. It is a reference file for his other plugins.

Hello Thomas,
I can't seem to get the installation right

these are the errror messages
in 3 sequences,

after I thought to understand that TT_Lib2 folder should be directly in the plugins folder I copied it there (not move)
new error messages:

it might be that the fact that I copied and not moved the folders is causing the problems

please help

Can you show a screenshot of your Plugins folder?

The errors are odd, because they reference another plugin 'BIM Tools'.

thomthom

Looking at the error messages I'm pretty sure the plugins are not installed correctly.

You can either go back to the description of the plugins and very closely check the footprint examples, or you can remove the plugins you installed and install them with this utility: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=42315
That is just one single .rb file you place in the Plugins folder, and then you get menu items to install other plugins, be it .rb, .rbs, .zip or .rbz.

(If you want to use the manual route I recommend you read through this article that breaks down plugin installation: http://www.thomthom.net/thoughts/2012/01/installing-plugins-for-google-sketchup/)

hey Thomas! i don´t know why but karspersky confused an element of your library with malicious software, i added it to the exclusions because every time i reinstalled it the same warning was displayed. Maybe some over careful kaspersky update caused it!

thomthom

I don't know why Kaspersky blocked it. I've never used that AV. Did you just update it?
This is the first time anyone has reported the file being blocked by any AV. (And we have a very agressive AV at work - not even that triggered it.)

Regardless - the file is harmless. It's a false positive.

Yes, that's true. thanks for reporting this. I thought I was the only one affected. After updating my Kaspersky lately, ttguide, ttedge, ttcleanup's icon was gone in sketchup and some error appeared on screen.

thomthom

Sigh Now there'll be a flood of Kaspersky support queries.

Tell Kaspersky to ignore tt_api.so. And are you able to report back to the developers of KAspersky about false positives?

There is really nothing I can do here. It's Kaspersky being over-zealous.

Also, license holders should submit their false positives and samples via My Kaspersky or Personal Cabinet, instead of newvirus.

nektares

In fact you have to add the whole SketchUp folder to the exclusions to be sure, I will report it Thomas. silly Kaspersky.

I will report it Thomas.

Thank you.

nektares

done! let´s hope they fix it soon!

Hello Thomthom,
upon my first try, I recieved the following error messages:

Error Loading File tt_bitmap2mesh.rb
no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rbError Loading File tt_cleanup.rb
no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rbError Loading File tt_guide_tools.rb
no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rb

I checked and realised TT_Lib2 was not directly in the plugins folder, but in a subfolder TT_Lib2 2.6.0 (or similar name, I did not write it down)
I moved the TT_Lib2 folder to the plugins folder and erased the TT_Lib2 2.6.0 or similar name, I did not write it down

now I get other error messages:

Error Loading File tt_bitmap2mesh.rb
no such file to load -- C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/TT_Lib2/libraries/win32/tt_apiError Loading File tt_cleanup.rb
no such file to load -- C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/TT_Lib2/libraries/win32/tt_apiError Loading File tt_guide_tools.rb
no such file to load -- C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/TT_Lib2/libraries/win32/tt_api

I checked, and in
C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/TT_Lib2/libraries/win32/
there is a tt_api-readme file, not an actual tt_api file

please help

Check you Plugins folder has FULL security Permissions set under Properties.
Your system might not be allowing all files to be properly installed by you [even if you're an an Admin] - so give yourself FULL rights.
A link button near the top of the Plugins folder's Explorer Window saying something like 'Compatibility Files...' is a clear indicator of issues with your systems settings...
Ensure it's right and then continue...
Note that the same rights should pertain on the Materials, Components and Styles folders, because one day you will want to write to those too...
Why not remove the suspect subfolder/files and get thomthom's Simple Installer from the Plugins Index, install that and then restart and use it to install the files/subfolders from the zip file automatically - that way you won't get into a tangle with mis-installed files etc...
