[Plugin] KML Tools (2.0.0-beta) — updated 31.05.2013

Gorin21

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:

"the model does not contain a Google Earth terrain. Do you want import one first , Yes No"
in both cases
"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?
