      The Extrude tools requires deBabelizer.rb loading [as the message tells you].
      It translates text, menus etc into other locales' langauages...
      This additional .rb file is supplied inside the main tool's RBZ archive or AutoInstalled version.
      BUT if you have never installed it, or later on you have removed it then it will break this and several other plugins that will not load or work without its presence.
      If you have Disabled it using the Plugins Manager then you would have been warned about the consequences: in this case permanently Enable it if you want to be able to load/use any of the tools that need it... If not, then reinstall it properly and check that the files are ALL includes in the installation...

      Here is a view of the contents of the Extrude tools archive - the same two rb files and subfolder [containing several other files] need to be be in your Plugins folder in the same relative relationships [you can use a custom-plugins folder if desired]

        Again...

        Another issue with... Fredo6's FredoTools ! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿ˜„

        Here is the first error message :

        Fredo6-Error01.jpg
        Here is the second error message :

        Fredo6-Error02.jpg
        And here is my AdditionalPluginFolder :

        Fredo6-Explorer.jpg

        Precision : All my plugIns are up to date.

        Any help ? ๐Ÿ˜‰

        Many thanks

          Your plugins are NOT up to date ๐Ÿ˜’
          You have an older version of my Extrude tools files shown in the Plugins folder.
          The current version is NOT there !
          Get and install the latest version.
          See my recent post - the tool now installs deBabaleizer.rb and then ExtrudeTools.rb and the matching ExtrudeTools subfolder [neither of which are shown in your list!].
          All earlier 'EEby...' rb files are auto-deleted by the newer script's reload ?
          You need to restart SketchUp and see what happens...

          You also seem to have separate issues with some of Fredo's plugins...

          Are you sure you have set your Plugins folder's context-menu > Properties > Security > Edit... to have read/write permissions 'FULL', for every user/group in the list. Also set SketchUp.exe Properties > Compatibility... to 'Always run as Administrator'...

                Issue with Shape Bender.
                It doesn't work when SB files and folder are placed in the AdditionalPluginFolder but works fine when placed in the SU plugins folder.

                  This is a known issue in any version using a non-standard Plugins folder.
                  Reread the ShapeBender thread.
                  I have recently posted a simple change to the loader script's code that fixes it to load from anywhere in the $LOAD_PATH list...

                      TIG,

                      thanks a lot for Shape Bender, works fine now !

                      I've got the same problem with Didier Bur's Projections.
                      Do you think you could do something for us if you've got a quiet moment ? ๐Ÿ˜ณ

                        @Chon
                        Edit the loader ' projection_extension.rb' file
                        In line#2:
                        Sketchup::require Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins") + '/Projection/projection'
                        add a leading # to disable it:
                        #Sketchup::require Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins") + '/Projection/projection'
                        Then add in a line below it thus:
                        Sketchup::require(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'Projection', 'projection'))
                        It should now work properly from any Plugins folder's location, provided that the loader rb and the folder of other files are in the same Plugins folder... [although the rbs format for the main code file is an perhaps unknown quantity]...

                                You seem to have a wrong installation of Curviloft.

                                Could you please check the file and fiolder footprint.

                                  Hi,
                                  Ive been using the additional plugins folder with great success until recently. Im now not able to install extensions and am not sure what the problem is. Ive downloaded a couple of .rbz to the folded I have designated as my additional plugins folder. I have then gone to Window>Preferences>Extensions and gone to install extensions but Im now getting a message that tells me "This extension will have the ability to access the filesystem on your computer. Do not grant access to this lightly; be sure you trust the author. Do you want to install the extension." If I click yes it then takes me to an admin user name and password page? I had this working fine before but now for some reason SU won't load the plugins in this folder. Can anyone help..?
                                  I have deleted the 000_aditional plugins folder and have the following installed in my main plugins folder;
                                  AdditionalPluginFolders - v4.2a - 23 Oct 13
                                  LibFredo6.rbz
                                  Can anyone help me to resolve this ...?

                                    The native Preferences > Extensions > Installer ALWAYS tries to use the main Plugins folder - you may not have sufficient permissions to do that - especially on a corporate or educational network...
                                    The SketchUcation Plugin Store toolset offers two possible options:

                                    1. A ../Plugins/SketchUcation submenu utility named 'Archive Installer'... this lets you auto-install from a RBZ [or ZIP] archive you have already downloaded onto your PC... and if you have a custom-plugins folder set-up it offers that as a potential destination...
                                    2. The SketchUcation Plugin Store's dialog which opens within SketchUp itself also offers you the choice of any set-up custom-plugins folder a destination for it's AutoInatll too...

                                      Thanks TIG - will play with this tomorrow. Have set the additional plugins setting to force it to ask if I want to use the non-standard plugin folder every time SU opens which seems to work for now.
                                      Thanks

                                          This is not the hard part ๐Ÿ˜’
                                          Search the Plugins forum, or see the PluginStore - search that for its instructions and download too ๐Ÿ˜•
                                          Also read its instructions carefully... and find / get the support 'Lib' and install that too...

                                            Is it possible, that in Sketchup 2014 this doesn't work anymore? can anyone confirm? cheers.
