      "File seems not to exist.
      Please check that the file path does not contain Unicode characters. This is a limitation of SketchUp and its Ruby version."
      Am I doing something wrong? Took the KMZ file from gps opened in Google earth saved as KML then tried to import into SU with the KMLtools and I get the error above..
      any ideas anyone? Thanks, I am a beginner with SU 😄

        It appears that KML Tools are not yet compatible with 2014. I get the message:

        Error Loading File kmlDate.rb
        Error: #<SyntaxError: C:/Users/truga/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/kmlDate.rb:77: formal argument cannot be a global variable
        ...previewTimeLine") {|$kmlDateDlg, param|
        ...

        etc.

          I am getting the same problem (Mac OSX 10.9.2) with v 2013 and 2014 - with Google SketchUp 8.0.15157 - the old version works fine. Sad, because SU is a great tool for visualization AND a converter to make X3D files from GPS-GPX tracks thus: GPS tracker > GPX > KML (gpsbabel or GPS Viz) > SKP > VRML (WRL) > X3D (via aopt). See the models here: http://abdallah.hiof.no/drone/index.html

            Hi,

            great job with the plugin! I would like to know, if the functionality of adding timestamps can be included in next release? In 2.0 beta there is none, in the previous stable version, there is availability to add a timestamp.

            Thanks for the reply,

            Paul

                  I use SketchUp 2014.
                  The file (attached) contains an image and a single poligon realized and exported in KML by Google Earth
                  When I run the kml tools for any files .kml everywhere it is in PC (c:, Desktop, other directory) always it says:

                  1. "the model does not contain a Google Earth terrain. Do you want import one first , Yes No"
                    in both cases
                  2. "File seems non to exist. Please check the file path does not contain Unicode characters. This is a limitation of SketchUp and its Ruby version."

                  Where is the problem?

                  Thank you for all contributions.

                  Good in Google Earth but not in SU.

                              ...){|@dlg, json| is where the issue lies...
                              In newer Rubies you cannot use an instance variable [ @...] as a argument in a block.
                              As it's an RB file you could try finding all such occurrences in the reported files.
                              Replace @dlg with dlg
                              You need to do this with all {|...|... blocks BUT not elsewhere in the code as I expect @dlg will be needed...
                              After the |...| you might be able to add @dlg=dlg to minimize the required editing, if @dlg is defined earlier, or used later ??

                              Perhaps the author can do a fix ??

                                    In Google Earth I "Save Place As..." contours.kml. I use your tool Extensions > KML Tools > Import KML File to import it into sketchup, it says "The model does not contain a Google Earth terrain. Do you want to import one first?". I click the "No" button.

                                    Then it says "File seems not to exist. Please check that the file path does not contain Unicode characters. This is a limitation of SketchUp and its Ruby version."

                                    Suggestions?
