New version of the CBS tools
-
What problems are you having installing it?
The plugin does need to be updated to suit Ruby 2.0 but if you just extract the contents of the ZIP file to Plugins, you wind up with a folder in Plugins called Plugins containing the files. So the plugin won't actually load when you start SketchUp and you won't see the error message.

If I install the CBS tools SU2014 crushes directly after the start and creates a bugsplat
-
I get the following on SU2014 on my Mac:
Error Loading File cadbox-ch.rb
Error: #<LoadError: cannot load such file -- CBStool/lang/ge
.rb>

Sorry SU-Friends
Lately, I have inquiries from Russia, China, Romania, Germany and the USA.
The tools are popular, but unfortunately, my tools work it not in the 2014 version.
These tools are a hobby of mine, but for now, I just do not have time to adjust it.
As a field ornithologist, I was just elected in the Presidium of a Ornithological Society.
I must me now also for other birds take care
.......Well, maybe someone can give me a tip on what to do.
The whole thing bury? Want the tools adapt?
Want the Tools adapt and under your name provide in the net?Although, I have no list of requests or tasks, but I would have still a few ideas or changes for the improvement of the tools. Ask?
Tweeting it right here in my ear, I understand them, I'm ornithologist.... -
Your RB files are in ANSI, not UTF-8 encoding - this is necessary for them to be compatible with Ruby2.0 used by v2014 - it remains OK with earlier versions too.
This is easily fixed in Notepad++...
There are also some syntax issues like a space between methods and their parenthesized arguments [e.g. the webdialog new code...]
I will PM'd you a working set shortly - you need to re-publish it...Get and use Notepad++.exe [free] for script editing and making new files in "UTF8-without-BOM" encoding in the future...
-
And feel free to share some birds in the corner bar...
-
I have PM'd a compatible version to the author...
He needs to test and re-publish if he will... -
TIG: Super, thank you very much! I have received the message.
But I cannot reply and I can not download the file. Why is that? I'm a member?
Well, I did make the Notepad+ UT-8 conversion and moved my plugins in the folder "Tools",
but when calling "web dialog" it goes no further.
I thought it is a solvable problem.Sensational TIG, if you've solved it.
What do we do now?
Can you send it to cad(at)cadbox.ch ?Addendum:
Sorry for my terrible programming, but I'm an old german speaking self-taught.
The number of files:
At the beginning I wanted sell individual elements and thought to become a millionaire.
Today I'm glad for a answer to my questions. -
I have just emailed you it too...
Have you not logged in ?
Weird... -
Heureka, it runs.
Thank you very much "TIG"
I never thought that my confusing scripts can be adapted so quickly.
May I you mention, as a co-author from CBS 2014?
It would me an honor... -

It would me an honor...It wasn't so easy !
If you wish, you may mention me as a 'contributor' or 'advisor' etc...
But I take no blame for your toolset
PS: The correct link for the Plugin's download is probably

Oops, where is the switch for language?
My mistake.
Here is the correct link:
http://www.cadbox.ch/cont/index.php?la=de&cont=cb4Hi TIG
Thank you again.
With you and thank you:
I believe again on SketchupWell, somehow, somewhere, I'll mention you -
as a contributor or as an advisor and I think,
I will be responsible for everthing, also for a smallest error... -
I do have some ideas of improvement, user-interface and models, too. I really think this tool could be more friendly and more configurable, but my programming skills in Ruby are up to now, well - nil. So I would gladly jump into the development team with User Interface improvements and some functionality ideas. It was my intent some month ago (and still is if nobody wants), to fork the scripts and learn myself to program in Ruby. But I think things woulb be MUCH more better with somebody else on the scripting task
-
Only too, I am pleased!
The scripts are without encoding and free to better change.
Many say: Too many cooks spoil the broth
But I say: Many cooks find faster the hair in the soup.
A hair there is always - in the soup and just unfortunately not on my head.....A good address for SU plugins create or customize (also to learn) :
http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/developer/To install the plugins, there is a good tutorial here:
http://sketchucation.com/resources/tutorials/108-installing-sketchup-plugins -
works fine now. Thank you.
-
Oh, thank you for that plugin! I've used it a lot.
-
I'm Skecthup beginner. Could you please help me with CBS on SU2013. It's not working on my MacOS 10.9.3.
The error message that I get is the following:Error Loading File cadbox-ch.rb
no such file to load -- CBStool/lang/en.rbHow can I fix that?
-
How did you install this toolset ?
The downloaded RBZ's contents [including the missing file[s]] will install properly into the Plugins folder by using Preferences > Extensions > Install.... button.
If you have got the ZIP version, then you must extract its contents properly - keeping all of the files in their subfolders intact, and transfer that into the set into the Plugins folder manually.
If you have mis-installed things [as I guess is the case
], you must remove ALL of the files you have incorrectly put into the Plugins folder, and start again... AutoInstalling the RBZ is the proper [and foolproof] way !
-
I deleted CBStool folder and cadbox-ch.rb from Applications Suuport-Sketchup 2013-Plugins.
Opened SU2013, Preferences-Extensions-Install Extension -> CBStool2014.rbz
Relaunched SU2013 and got the same error again:Error Loading File cadbox-ch.rb
no such file to load -- CBStool/lang/en.rb -
Did you look in the indicated folder in the Plugins directory to see if en.rb is in there? I just tried installing it and it worked fine for me. Maybe you could try contacting the author directly through his website?
