        I suspect you have misinstalled from the zip file.
        When a script comes in a zip file you usually get one script [.rb] file and a folder containing everything else that the rb file 'loads' or needs to work.
        The 'loose' rb file and the folder MUST be put into your Plugins folder exactly as they are arranged in the zip file.
        Do not move files from the subfolder into the Plugins folder.
        This shows the only two additional things that you should have in your Plugins folder after the installation.Capture.PNG If you have put some of the files in Plugins that should actually be in the subfolder then please move/remove as needed...

          Seems like a fantastic tool, although I can't get it to work- "Can`t click "Next point". Any tool." Same as maxosmedia. I'm using windows XP with SU v7 and reloaded it as TIG suggested. I was wondering if there is conflict with another plug-in? Just a guess as I have no experience writing ruby.

            TIG, Thank you! I just did. Therefore, no error at this point. Error may be found in document building_structure_tool.rb strings 5β€”10:

            %(#FF0000)[require 'building_structure_tool\tst_main.rb'
            require 'building_structure_tool\tst_extend_to_face.rb'
            require 'building_structure_tool\tst_extend_to_structure.rb'
            require 'building_structure_tool\tst_chamfer_structures.rb'
            require 'building_structure_tool\tst_grow_to_structure.rb'
            require 'building_structure_tool\tst_grow_to_face.rb']

            These lines contain a "" instead of the "/" for macintosh file system.

            If I correct the document building_structure_tool.rb, the tool is loaded with no error messages, but the tool does not work!
            Can`t click "Next point"

              Hi, TIG and maxosmedia.
              Thank you for helping.
              I am out now.
              I will correct it after.
              I will investigate the cause.

              Please wait for a while.

                    I have now loaded the tool and get the same problems...
                    Here are two 'tweaked' files that work.
                    Replace one in Plugins and the other in the tool's own subfolder.
                    I have swapped the \ to / in the 'require' statements.
                    I have trapped a 'read_default' error. The author having used/tested the tool for some time won't have realized that his code crashed if a particular registry entry was missing [probably as he had written that entry ages ago in earlier tested code], but because it crashes at the start the entry never gets written ! In 'tst_main', at line #123, I've added a trap so there is no crash and it now works, writing the needed registry entry the first time you use the tool, and so all is now well...building_structure_tool.rbtst_main.rb

                      I can finally test it, and it seems a plugin with great potential

                            well done guys, a nifty tool is born... maybe you should get together with Goh who does the 1001bit tools ? Between you you may just turn SU into the only fun BIM program out there πŸ˜„

                            all the best...

                              In the folder 'building_structure_tool' there are two CSV files:

                              default_pflist.csv contains the steel sizes and standard sizes of other things used in the tool
                              You can edit those in plain text editor - e.g. around line #151
                              ##STEEL_BEAM,β€œSœ¬—À,,,,,,
                              b15,H-150x75x5x7,,,,matSTEEL,BLACK,BLACK
                              b19,H-198x99x4.5x7,,,,matSTEEL,BLACK,BLACK

                              This 'b15' is one country's standard 'code', and the 4 relevant sizes in 'mm', 'material' etc... but you can add your own - just ensure that the ',' count is the same...

                              You could also add other things like additional items at the end...

                              Also default_pipelist.csv contains 'tube' code/sizes.

                                            It would appear that this plugin causes the old grayed out menu items. I haven't seen that for awhile but it happened after I installed this one. I've deleted it and I have no problem.
