      Did you also install TT_Lib2 as specified in the original post?

        Thanks for the quick answer. I copied the TT_LIB2 folder inside the Plugin folder of SketchUp. I suppose it's correctly installed so, but maybe I'm wrong?

              Hi,
              I confirm the problem comes from the wine install somehow. I install the plugin on a mac the same way as with the linux and it works perfectly.
              I will ask for some help in the wine community.

              Thanks for your answers so far.

                Let me know what you find out.

                Maybe it could be encoding difference? I wonder if I recall someone on the forum mention something about line ending characters being an issue.

                  I'm a noob. Do I need SU PRO? I have SU 8, Mac OSX, dragged both TT_Lib2 2.6.0 and tt_solid_inspector to Google Sketchup 8 folder, tried unzipping in Terminal (says cannot find or open file even tho it's on desktop) and still can't find Solid Inspector in Tools. What else could it be?

                    Could be that you installed it incorrectly... not sure.
                    You might find it easier and more reliable to use this utility to install plugins:

                      Read and understand this http://www.thomthom.net/thoughts/2012/01/installing-plugins-for-google-sketchup/ and then this http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=426513#p426513
                      We could debate what files went into which folders... but if you follow this it will give you good results.
                      Also some tools are Extensions and need activating from the Preferences menu the first time you install them, and/or they have special submenus from which you can run them etc... Read the tool's usage notes to clarify this aspect...

                          You are somewhat cryptic in your error reporting...
                          I suspect that you are not installing the files properly.
                          Read the tool's download page again.
                          If you have v8 pro then the Preferences > Extensions > Installer tool will easily extract what's needed from the rbz archive and put it in the correct locations for you.
                          Note that this is an Extension and might require that it is one-time activated from 'Extensions', you might also need to restart SketchUp to get everything to auto-load the first time...
                          ALSO the tool needs a TT support Lib folder.
                          This is clearly explained on that page, there is a link to its download page...
                          Follow the instructions for the installation of that Lib too...
                          You'll probably have to restart SketchUp after the install to get everything working...

                          On a MAC the correct 'plugins' folder is the one at the root HD level NOT the 'users' one - this has been discussed in several threads in great detail...

                          To make installing tools' files and their support subfolders etc thomthom has also made a free Simple-Plugins-Installer, available via the Plugins Index. Once this is installed you can then easily install files and subfolders from rbz/zip archives and also individual rb/rbs files, without worrying about finding the correct folders etc...

                            What exactly "isn't working"?
                            Did you install the rb file correctly?

                                    Outstanding tool . It took a little bit to figure out how to install on my MAC. What i found to be the problem was i did not have TT_Lib2 - 2.6.0.zip downloaded in my plugin folder once i loaded it i then loaded the solid inspector and it works great.

                                      Hello All

                                      I downloaded the Solid Inspector plugin on my Mac and it wasn't loading.. After some looking around I realized that I had put the plugin here:
                                      /Applications/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp.app/Contents/Plugins

                                      Where it should have been put here:
                                      /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins/

                                      Now it's working fine.

                                      Hopefully that help some of the Mac users out there who are having issues..

                                      Antony

                                        This tool works great if you are trying to fix it yourself... I found this other plugin in the ruby library depot that not only identifies the problems, but corrects them too!

                                        worked for me first try...

                                            Hi,
                                            I confirm the problem comes from the wine install somehow. I install the plugin on a mac the same way as with the linux and it works perfectly.
                                            I will ask for some help in the wine community.

                                            Did you get anywhere? I'm getting similar trouble running it in SU8 under Crossover (the commercialized Wine). On startup, I get a dialog titled "Load Errors", saying:

                                            Error Loading File tt_solid_inspector.rb
                                            uninitialized constant TT::System

                                            When I press OK, the entire SU viewport goes black. I did try the (possibly outdated) advice to run dos2unix on the *.rb files of the plugin, but that doesn't help--in fact, it causes SU to report a BugSplat after I press OK on the Load Errors dialog.
