      Hi all,
      I have a prob. SU, when starting up, pushes a message that it cannot load 'exampleScripts.rb' only for about 2 seconds. Tried to click OK but doesn't allow me to continue & SU basically hung. Has anyone had this before. I've traced it to a rb possibly needed by 'Selection toys', because TT_lib was part of the Error Message. Once i installed it, it dissappered but this examplescripts message remained.Where can I find this file. Searched forum, but no luck
      Please help.

      Thanks

        Hi Chucky,

        I am on XP (I do not know what "Windows" you have) so the path for my plugins folder is this:
        C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 7\Plugins

        In this folder there should be an examples.rb (this should load the file below) and also an Examples folder with another file called examplescripts.rb.

        Please, confirm these files are there...

        Also what happens when you disable examples under Window > Preferences > Extensions?

        Gai...

          Hi Gaieus,
          Thanx for the reply. I'm running Win 7. I found 'examples.rb' but none of the others(box, xline, etc). But I had forgotten I also had SU 8 loaded, so I just copied all of the files from that one & it worked! I think I might have a windows problem in that when the error window comes on; it's only for that few seconds & doesn't allow you to click 'ok', then dissapears and SU is thus hung.
          I just tried TIG's 'areatext.rb', which gave me a syntax error message, & once again I can't click 'ok'(but long enough to do screen cap - attached).

          Thanks again.

            See your other topic about that rb for what Jeff responded.

              I don't immediately recognize "areatext" [as its author!]...
              Please can you post the very file...

                @Gaieus: Saw Jeff's response. Feel like a total idiot.

                @ TIG: It was in a post of 'dynamic areas', but as Jeff pointed out, it's not a ruby.

                Sorry 'bout all the confusion.
                Thanks for the replies guys
