[Plugin] Solid Inspector
-
I am having trouble getting solid inspector going.
I noticed the message about needing TTlib2, and manually installed TTlib2.8.3
When Sketchup 8 starts, I get the following massages:Error Loading File C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/TT_Lib2/bezier.rb
no such file to load -- C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/TT_Lib2/libraries/win32/TT_Geom_BezierError Loading File C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/TT_Lib2/gl_image.rb

no such file to load -- C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/TT_Lib2/libraries/win32/TT_Geom_BezierThere is also a LL_Lib2 not installed doo-dad offering to download TTlib2
version 2.8.0. WHen I let it do its thing, and install that version,
same thing.In some brief poking around, I noticed something about core.rb
and when I open it it says it is compatible with sketchup 7 and untested
with other versions...What is the scoop? Is SK8 OK? how about SK2013?
How is it that the uninstalled_downloader for 2.8.3 refers to 2.8.0?
What is the "most current" working version?
and like that...THx

The error messages indicate you've not installed TT_Lib2 correctly. How about showing us a screenshot of your Plugins folder.
This plugin and TT_Lib2 work just fin with SU8 and SU2013 when installed correctly.
-
Sounds like you might have ended up affected by Windows UAC protection system and some files ended up in Virtual Store.
Navigate to the Plugins folder in Explorer and see if there then is a Compatibility Files button. If there is any files in Virtual Store you should clean them up.

on closer inspection, I see that the error messages all seem to relate to
C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/TT_Lib2/libraries/win32/TT_Geom_BezierErrorwell, yes indeedy that file is not there
a disk-wide scan for TT_Geom_Bezier finds TT_Geom_Bezier.bundle in the osx folder...
Is there an easy/correct way to force a re-install of TT_lib2?

First of all, check the Virtual Store which I mentioned in my previous post. If there is anything there it is likely to mess things up.
Then, once you have ensured there is no Virtual Store files, then you close all instances of SketchUp and then remove the TT_Lib2 files.
After that you have a clean slate and you can install the RBZ via Preferences > Extensions - or use the Extension Warehouse.
-
I can't wait to use this! Except - I got errors trying to install RBZ files, so I changed ".rbz" to ".zip" and copied the files in. After resolving all of the "Can't find blah.rb" issues, I'm getting one last error:
"Error Loading File core.rb
uninitialized constant TT::System"Since the Solid Inspector ran on one model, do I just cope with a constant popup error? Any thoughts on this?
-
Did you also install the required TT_lib2 files?
You shouldn't have needed to change the RBZ to ZIP. Why not just use Install Extension from Preferences>extensions?
-
What error where you getting? (The actual error messages are usually the most useful when debugging.)

FYI, I'm running SU8 on a Mac running 10.7.5. However, the RBZ problem occurs with all flavors of extensions regardless of their date.

re: RBZ to ZIP
I've tried the Install-Via-Preferences route, but I get problems. I've installed the TT_lib2, but via copying the contents of an unzipp'd RBZ, so perhaps there is a file to be dealt with that was not resolved in the simple copy maneuver?Here's the error message when running the Preferences Extension Installer:
"Unable to install this Extension
SketchUp was unable to install the Extension you have chosen for some unknown reason.
Consult your Extension's documentation for additional help."....I know, helpful, right? I ran a couple permission repairs on my Mac, with reboots, that didn't change anything.
=---==-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=
re: Unzipping and copying file structure into SUThis is what pops up when starting SU each time:
"Error Loading File core.rb
uninitialized constant TT::System" -
Looks like you have a permissions problem. Go to the Plugins folder, right click on it and open Get Info. At the bottom edit the permissions so all are set to Read & Write.
-
Try to remove TT_Lib completely and then reinstal it. (Make sure to exit all SketchUp windows first.)
-
I am trying to install this plugin on a Mac, however, the root file for the plugins doesn't exist. Where do I put it? Here's is a screen shot of the hard drive location. I have the latest version of Google Sketchup Make. -
Look in the right place. It does exist.
For SU2013 the Plugins folder is located under the User. You'll need to make the hidden Library folder visible, though. Why not make it easier for yourself and use the Sketchucation Plugin Store to automatically install plugins? -
Hi,
I hope this won't offend anyone, I use Mac and I am trying to install your plugin. I installed the TT library. The install or rbz files is easily managed within SU8. However to install the actual rb plugin, I can't seem to make it work. I followed the instructions for Mac users found here:
http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/38583
it says:
"If you have a file with the .rb extension, you can install the plugin by placing the Ruby script file into the appropriate folder, and then restarting SketchUp."
"Mac OS X - the default location is: Version 8 and older: [YOUR USER NAME]/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp #/SketchUp/plugins"
I even had to create a plugins directory, pasted your rb script there and restarted SU8, the plugin won't show in the menu.Have I missed something?
Has anyone had any success installing this plugin in a Mac running SU8?
Thanks, G64
-
It looks to me as if you followed the instructions for SU2013 which are different than for SU8. You didn't need to create a Plugins folder because it already exists in the right place. For SU8 go to Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support... You'll find the Plugins folder there, instead. Put the .rb file there and restart SketchUp.
Better would be to install the Sketchucation Plugin Store and let it automatically install plugins for you.
By the way, make sure you have full Read and Write permissions established for the correct Plugins folder. And get rid of the folder you made.

However to install the actual rb plugin,
Install it as an RBZ package from the Plugin Store: http://sketchucation.com/resources/pluginstore?pln=tt_solid_inspector
(I haven't had time to update all my threads to point to the Plugin Store yet.)

I've looked everywhere for this plugin, but dl fails on sketchucation, and on RLD they say it was taken down at the author's request. Where can I find this please?

Have you tried to click on the

Or with the link directly before your question... provided by the author himself

Or you could spend a few moments reading and you might see this immediately above your post.
