As Pilou said, check that you have file files in the correct location. At the bottom of each page for them plugins there is an example of their footprint in the Plugins folder.

I'm getting this error when starting SU.

I have the latest version ov Selection Toys along with TT_Lib version 1 and 2.4.0.
SU 7.1 Windows.

thomthom

SelectionToys does not use TT_Lib2 at all.

You need to ensure you have the correction version of TT_Lib (1.x) and that it's installed correctly.

Pixero

Reinstalling the latest 1.x version helped.

By the way I'm tired of rearrangeing my toolbars once again. How does the save toolbar in SU8 work?

Poorly.

View->Toolbars->Save Positions
View->Toolbars->Restore Positions

I've found it to not work so well when adding/removing plugins with toolbars...

Thom, have you generated docs for this lib? I appreciate that you are thinking in terms of re-use, and your code is clean and clear. Is this licensed so that other people can use it also?

I have some docs generated. But the comments are not complete. It's still taking shape and some things will be changed.
I'll try to make a note on the modules that are WIP and include more examples. If you have questions about particulars just let me know and I can push them up on the update list.

For the brave, here is the current output: http://www.thomthom.net/software/sketchup/tt_lib2/doc/ (for TT_Lib 2.5 mind you)

(Anyone knows how to modify YARDs templates so the constant lists will be more compact?)

Jim

Guess I could run yard myself... heh.

Just a preview of one of the GUI gizmos I'm working on.

Also thinking of adding more wrappers to create windows entirely from Ruby - buttons, lists, dropdowns etc...

This approach will win.

When I made Vertex Tools I had a similar system for the toolbar system. A set of classes that acted as wrappers for the controls. The main classes where Container and Control - they would have most of the code. From there it was easier to create sub-classes like toolbars and buttons. I then had a very nice abstract layer where I created a toolbar class - where I added Button objects.
Complex systems though - but I hope to have a base system by the new year.

Hello,
I'm having a problem with the program crashing at 49% when exporting as a vrml. I've imported my bmp image, sized, indexed points and generated the mesh. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jeff

TT, I got this message while overwriting the old library (meaning that the file I marked is write-protected). When I wanted to overwrite anyway, it wanted a password so I could not.

Is it an issue if I do not update that particular file?
