Surface on tools stopped working on SU 2023.

Tools on Surface is working fine for me in SketchUp 2023. Share your .skp file so we can see what you are working with and what might be causing the problem.

File is attached. I re-downloaded the RBZ and license file, removed p[lug-in and re-added back. I don't see a place to use the license file and the plug-in is not complaining that a license was not found.

In addition, while checking my sketchucation license status it shows Tools On Surface as 0/3 as if it was not licensed. Maybe that's the issue?

You need to save the license file[s] somewhere sensible - I use a special licensing folder in my Documents.
Then you validate the license for that extension by using the validate button etc in the Tools > Fredo6 Collection > ExtensionName > License... submenu for that extension, which opens a dialog...

[TIG]

PS: Also make sure that you have installed the latest version of the extension, LibFredo6 and the SketchUcation toolset [for the licensing], and have restarted SketchUp...

[mstumpo]

OK, I got past this and all appears good. However, the toolbar for Tools On Surface is blank on my screen. In fact, any plugin that uses on-screen options shows as blank. Nvidia driver issue? see attached.

@fredo6 Hi I have used Fredo6's tools for manyt years and they are always super useful.
At present, since SU2024 I have had issues with SUClock, which I stopped using whilst it was updated.
I've since started using SUClock since the update and its been working fine.
Today I started up SU2024 with an existing project (double clicking on the skp file itself, incase that is ever relevant how I 'opened up' the file) and I got the following error.
This error hasn't gone away and did not start working up next restart of SU2034, so I wonder if you can help -
I see the icon of SUClock but it does nothing when clicked on.
Multiple restarts have not fixed anything. There are similar errors with ThruPaint and Toposhaperm unforrtunately. Can anyone help? plugin information as follows:

@yanrothwell

Did you install SU2024 with 'Run as dministrator'?

[yanrothwell]

@fredo6 yes

[fredo6]

@yanrothwell

Could you open the Ruby console and copy paste the following command, and then type Enter:

UI.openURL F6_SUClock::Project.get_tmpdir

This will open the temp directory, in which you have files with extension .txt and a form like XXX__YYY.txt.
Just erase them. It seems that one of them is corrupted.

Erasing them should not impact your SUClock data.

Then restart Sketchup.

[yanrothwell]

@fredo6 Many thanks - after doing just that and restarting, it worked. no errors upon startup.
Cheers \o/

a true Doh! moment - Angle Inspector has Slope meter in %% ! Many many thanks, Fredo.
P.S. Maybe one day it would become interactive - showing live the slope altering.
