        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.
        Regards
        Antimo


        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?
