Does Solid Inspector work on SketchUp 8 FREE version?
-
I installed Solid Inspector by copying the tt_solid_inspector.rb file to the Plugins folder, but I can't see it. I see "Solid Tools (Pro Only)" under my Tools menu, which showed up there after I installed TT_Lib2 (which I did before copying the .rb file to the Plugins folder).
I am strictly a hobbyist, brand new to SketchUp, and currently have neither the money nor the inclination to buy the Pro version. Does TomTom's plugin work only on the Pro version? If so, can anyone tell me of something with equivalent functionality for the free version? If the plugin does work on the free version, can anyone tell me what I'm likely doing wrong?

"Solids" also work in the free version (and one of the solid tools, "Outer shell" is also available) only the more advanced, different boolean tools are Pro only.
Make a simple cube, group it and right click > Entity info and see if it reports the group as "Solid group".
Solid inspector (the plugin) also works in the free version (it should appear under the Tools menu). If it is not there, you must have installed it improperly.

Depending on what files you have installed you might also find Thomthom's tools listed under a sub-menu in the Plugins menu ?
Solid Inspector needs a preselected group or component instance to 'inspect'...
