        The latest update [v5.18] should resolve the issue πŸ˜•
        Works fine for me...
        There was a typo or two [now fixed], but I can't see how you got that error ??
        Try removing the .rb and subfolder... and reinstall from scratch...

        Report back if it then does not work for you...

          Removed folder and .rb file from Plugins Folder and reinstalled from Plugin Store.
          Loads fine now.

          Thanks,

            I am running( on a Mac) the latest version of Trimble SketchUp Pro, and have just installed the latest version of Slicer 5.19
            I am having difficulties exporting flattened slices to DXF format. Have done this before with previous versions of Slicer but don't seem to be having any luck with this updated version. Does anyone out there have any suggestions?

              What's the trouble? Be more specific. Do you get the flattened slices in the SketchUp model space after the plugin runs? Is it just the export to DXF that is causing the problem? Can you export other lines to DXF?

                I get the flattened slices ok, select one group to Export. Choose export from Slicer and get the dialog box asking
                For which format, select, then nothing happens

                  I just tried it on SU2013 with OSX10.8.5 and it worked just fine. What OS are you using? (Please complete your profile). In what location is the SKP file saved?

                      You saved the model in the Applications folder? Try saving it in the Documents folder instead and see what happens.

                        Apologies, I saved the SKP on the desktop, but now have moved to the Document Folder. Alas no better luck with that. But thanks for your assistance.

                            A new version is now available.
                            This should resolve some recently reported issues...

                              DXF exporting...
                              Please get the latest version of the Toolset and retry...

                              Please remember that you need to preset the DXF export options in SketchUp as these are not scriptable and the current settings are used...

                              If you export with the Ruby Console open does it show errors ?

                                That all seems to be working well. No error messages with the Ruby Console.
                                Excellent

                                Thanks

                                  So it's working now, Rod? I was going to suggest we try a DXF export last night through File>Export but I got sidetracked. If it works, now, that's excellent.

                                      There's a new version available - v5.22...
                                      See its 'Documentation' tab - the main change is an additional option added to the dialogs - 'Centralization' - the default is 'Slice' - as before, the fixed-spacing slices are set-off from the object's center - giving an 'odd' number of slices [3, 5, 7 etc]: the new alternative is 'Gap', this shunts the initial slicing, so that then the gap between the slices is centered - giving an 'even' number of slices [4, 6, 8 etc]. It keeps the fixed-spacing entered.

                                      This new option could be used instead of entering Spacing = 0 - which would have then called an additional dialog to get a fixed number of 'Spaces' [ignoring 'centralization'], and then rather than using a fixed-spacing it would have generated an adjusted-spacing to suit the number of 'spaces' specified [i.e. the 'gaps'] - thus allowing odd & even slice counts].

                                      The two methods should provide flexibility of slicing formats to cover most of your needs...

                                        Any suggestions?

                                        Thanks!

                                          You are on MAC. πŸ˜’
                                          If you have NOT downloaded and installed the ttf Font 'txt' then your MAC crash will out...
                                          Whereas a PC will use a fall-back font...
                                          Please get that Font from the link on the Plugin's Documentation, or its thread's first page.
                                          UnZIP it and make sure it is installed in your Fonts...

                                          Please read the Plugin's notes before trying to use it... πŸ˜‰

                                          I might add a trap for it in an update, along the lines of: "MAC users MUST have txt.ttf installed !"

                                            I had actually downloaded the font, but it turns out that it was incorrectly installed.
                                            Everything seems to work correctly now.
                                            Cheers!
