[Plugin] Estimates (extended)
-
This error message relates to the 'language handler' system tool...
There would have been more text, you curtailed it just before the line number generating the error...For example
.GetString("Square meters")
. That is looking up the 'translation' in the '.string' file.
Have you edited the file ?
Have you got any text reading something like.GetString()
or.GetString(**nil**)
or.GetString(**any_text_without_paired_quotes**)
Is the .rb file still in "UTF-8 without BOM" encoding etc ??
Check that with Notepad++...Just to double-check...
Do you have a file named 'langhandler.rb' in the 'Tools' folder?
If not you should !
Try reinstalling/repairing Sketchup to get it back.
If you have a similar file in the 'Plugins' folder then remove.
Have you installed one of the older rogue compilation tool-bar scripts?
These can come zipped with some older SketchUp 'system' files that then get installed into 'Plugins', whereby the correct [newer] ones Sketchup provides in 'Tools' get screwed !
The files they can mess with include 'sketchup.rb', 'extensions.rb' and 'langhandler.rb'.
If you have any of these in your Plugins folder remove them.
If you do not have them in your Tools folder reinstall/repair Sketchup... -
Hi,
I've read all posts on estimate plugin and can't find any solution for my problem. Plugin installed as in readme file. Cost settig for materials, and cost estimation by material works fine.
However plugin seems to only see default Susan component despite i have 2 components in my scene.
I tried this plugin on another - more complicated model - and it seems that only components which have "by" attribute filled in are listed in Your plugin. I have a scene with hundreds of components, yet only 3 of them are listed - these are downloaded form 3d warehouse and have ie. "by Google" attribute set in them.
I guess it is a glitch, and it would be nice to get it fixed or some kind of workaround.
I use win7 pro sketchup 8.
Thanks for advice!
UPDATE: My problem is that only components having an author are listed in assign cost to component dialog window. If i save a component to a different file, then open the file, claim credit to it, the go back to original file and replace all old instances to a new "credited" one, it appears in assign cost to component dialog box. It this the way it's ment to be?

I seem to be having a similar issue as others have reported.
When I installed the plugin via the link in this thread I got the
"Error Loading File attributes.rb
undefined method `GetString' for nil:NilClass"error. So I deleted the files and installed it via the sketchucation plugin store (I'm on SU v7). It worked although the only component I could select was Susan. Based on one of the other posters I was going to try crediting a component to myself to see if that would be a workaround. After closing and reopening sketchup I now get the same error as above though and the plugin no longer shows up in my list.

hi I am using sketchup 2014, I placed the attributes.rb file in the plugins folder which in my case was not in the main sketchup folder but C:\Users\SarahPaulus\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins but it gave me an error message when I restarted sketchup. Also what do I do with the examples_en-US.string file. Please explain step by step I am not good with computers and only starting out with sketchup.

Welcome to SCF, Sarah. This is another plugin by Didier Bur that needs to be updated to work with SU2014. So far he hasn't released an update for this one so you might as well remove it from your Plugins folder so it doesn't give you errors when you start SketchUp. For what it's worth, the "strings" file would also go into Plugins, too. And you found the correct location for the folder in SU2014.

Hello,could make this plugin to estimate areas for each layers?

hi everyone, I test the plugin and it work so well. but I have a problem here, the plugin just calculate material which painted in 'front face' and not calculate painted 'back face'
is there a way to calculate 'back material' as well? it will be a more powerful and efficient plugin if it can calculate 'back face'thank you for your help
-
Is that because you aren't correcting face orientation? You shouldn't leave back faces exposed.

Will this work in SK2017?
