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?

It's not write protected on my computer. Nor in the zip file.

I have no idea what this can be. I've never seen Windows ask for that. Are you using some third party applications to manage files?
What did you use to extract the files? Did you extract directly over the files?
What if you delete, then extract?

Gaieus · 10 Feb 2011, 15:34

It's simply Win XP "extract (or open?) all files" when I enter the zip archive (yes, I was simply overwriting the existing install). Here is the dialog that asks for the password:

I then tried to delete the file but it said omething was using it. It was obviously SU as when I closed it, I could delete it and install the library correctly. This made me think however so I tried to reinstall it (now as it had been installed the file again) and with the SU window closed, it allowed me to.

So maybe a line in the front post to "close SU before installing" would be useful (people need to restart SU anyway).

Csaba, I got a similar message about that .so file when I extracted the ZIP file to the Plugins folder. SketchUp was open. So I closed SketchUp and tried again. It worked fine then. I wonder if that file is write protected when SU is open and the file is in use.

I sounds like SketchUp keeps a lock on the file when it's loaded. Probably because it's binary code instead of interpreted Ruby.

Version 2.5.4
This update requires that you also update:

Edge Tools ( 2.0.3 )
Plan Tools ( 1.2.2 )
CleanUp ( 3.1.4 )

Will TT_Lib ever be superseded by this? I know there are plugins that still require TT_Lib but it'd be nice to have all yours captured under TT_Lib2

thomthom · 17 Jun 2011, 18:03

Selection Toys is the only one that requires TT_Lib version 1.
Until Selection Toys is rewritten, into version 3, TT_Lib can not be made obsolete.

The other plugins use TT_Lib 2 however.

I do love this plugin and use it a lot in complex models.

What I would love is for the 'smooth angle' feature to have an 'ignore materials' checkbox, so that coplanar faces of different materials do not merge.
E.g I have an organic surface with paths, lawn and garden beds on it. It would be great if the plugin smoothed the surface but left the edges between surface finishes.

Thanks ThomThom, love your work.

I assume you are referring to the CleanUp plugin? (This is the TT_Lib thread...)

That would make it smooth the edge.

It's a good idea. I'll write it up for The List!

bitslapped · 23 Jun 2011, 23:28

Sorry, yes I was talking about Cleanup3.

Thanks for considering ThomThom, and yeah the 'ignore materials' was just using your existing terminology to add the feature.
Ideally it would be something like a "maintain material edges" checkbox.

Cheers mate, look forward to it

ThomThom I am running 8 Pro and am trying to install "solid inspector." I have TT_Lib2 installed in the plugins folder and "tt_solid_inspector" installed in the "plug ins" folder.

Thanks.

Gracias TT.
Ya tenía caducada la versión anterior.

Version 2.5.5
Update for OSX users with Safari 5.0.6 or higher.

Not needed for Windows users.

Highly recommended for OSX users as Safari 5.0.6 will break some plugins with webdialogs.
