      It's a known issue - the problem is that the newly shipped version of Ruby is less forgiving of bad syntax.
      So while dosomething (a+b), c used to work it now returns an error as it thinks the first () contains the argument[s] and the trailing ", c" is then 'wrong'...
      dosomething a+b, c will work [as long as the first argument can work without its ()]
      BUT it's better to put all of a function's arguments inside (...)
      so the better version is
      dosomething((a+b), c)
      Note how there should not be a <space> before the first enclosing (...
      Didier has some scripts showing this type of error-message when used in v8.
      Some are encrypted and can't be readily edited - however balustrade.rb is in plain-text and I have attached a version where all arguments are now correctly parenthesized [i.e. not just the 'problem' one]...balustrade_components.rb

            Thanks for the update TIG, I have been keeping a lookout for any and all fixes to the SU8 problem. I do use this plugin but haven't tried since the update. Now I don't need to worry โ˜€

              I went thru the plugin to see if I could find the problem, however, I darn sure wasn't going to post a correction. Not even close to being that smart.

              So thank you TIG

                      Doesn't work for me either. The component face of handrail doesn't extrude to the line path and generaly it "sees" only one part of polyline even after weld plugin. help please!

                          Guys this does not show up at Sketchucation Plugin Store, though it's a great plugin!

                          Shouldn't it be there?

                          Best regards,
