    I have recently discovered that when I start SU I get a 'Load Error' dialogue box that says many of the newer plugins I've downloaded have not loaded. How do I fix this so they work?
    Thanks!!!

      Please take a 'screen-shot' of the 'error-message' and post here it so we might know what the problem is...

            How did you extract the files for the plugins?
            Can you provide a screenshot of your Plugins folder?

              There are clearly multiple problems...
              The first part says you are missing some files normally loaded by files in the ../Plugins/Examples/ ...
              Looks like ' sketchup.rb' isn't getting loaded from the ../Tools/ folder - is it there ???
              Fix those and we'll move onto the rest... πŸ€“

                I extracted the files to my desktop and then moved them into my C Drive folder after they were extracted. I haven't had this problem until a couple of days ago.

                    sketchup.rb is in the tools folder.. not the plugins folder
                    [or should be there πŸ˜‰ ]

                      I see a tt_selection_toys folder - that is not correct. Should be TT_Select_Toys

                      I'm guessing the other errors are also due to incorrect folder arrangement.

                        yeah, for instance.. all those fredoscale files are supposed to be inside a folder called FREDOSCALE_Dir_20..
                        not sure what you have going with that folder "Curviloft 1.0c and LibFredo6 3.5c "

                        some of the TOS files are out of their folder as well.. (FreehandOnSurface.rb for instance should be inside the TOS folder..

                        that's after a quick glance and i'm sure there's plenty more..

                        it's looking like emptying the whole plugins folder and redownloading the plugins while following install instructions should do the trick πŸ˜‰

                          You MUST extract them directly into the <Sketchup>/Plugins folder, while preserving the archived folders (allowing your zip manager to create subfolders in the Plugins folder for every folder embedded inside the zip archive.)
                          ~

                          I'm not here much anymore.

                            Wow, thanks everyone. Looks like I have some work to do! Am I correct in assuming the best way to do this is to empty the folder and re-download the plugins like Jeff said?

                              YES.. delete the whole folder.

                              YES.. redownload the zip files IF you erased them.

                                Anyone (smart) will recommend installing ONE plugin at a time. Start Sketchup and make sure it works. Has it's menu items and/or toolbar(s).

                                Then close Sketchup and repeat.

                                    Hi all,

                                    Had a go at transferring my plugins over to SU8 and am having problems with profile Builder and Twilight. I was very careful to put everything in the exact spot where it was in SU7 plugins folder but obviously not careful enough. My transfer method was copy each and paste into SU8 plugins folder.

                                    Any help would be appreciated.

                                      These error messages are quite helpful - they point you to 'missing files [inside missing folders]'... copy those over too and these errors should cease...
                                      For example...
                                      The 1001 error is probably missing stuff in its folder etc...
                                      You probbaly don't have the Fredo6 'Lib' folders copied etc etc...
                                      You also don't have the Twilight folder copied into the new v8 ../Plugins/ directory etc etc etc...

                                      You can't just move/copy the bare Ruby files... IF they have dependent files they are using in various sub-folders [very common in more complex tools] - so you need to move/copy those too [keeping the folder structure intact]............

                                          I have everything working except my most valued plugin....Profile Builder. I have messed it up somewhere, it doesn't[/img] work in SU7 now either. Below is a screen shot of the error I get. Any help to get PB up and running in SU8 would be appreciated. πŸ‘ πŸ‘
