      That's just a random bearing... I've tried other true ones and other fake ones. same thing.

        Error: #<ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (2 for 1)>
        C:/Program Files (x86)/SketchUp/SketchUp 2013/Plugins/surveytool.rb:243:in `offset'

        It sure looks like a plugin you've recently installed has overwritten the Point3d#offset method.

        You're gonna have to figure out what plugins you've installed most recently and uninstall them. Or uninstall them little by little to figure out which it is I think.

            Put your plugins and extensions into sets in the SCF Plugin Store tool. Leave the Survey Tool out of the sets. Disable the sets, shut down and restart SketchUp and see that Surveytool works. Then enable a set and try again. Keep going until Surveytool quits working.

              I already did that Dave... And when I restarted all my plugins were enabled again. I'll try again. Why do I get the feeling Tig is getting ready to tell me I don't have admin rights to SU?

                It sounds like you didn't make the sets like I suggested and have the plugins really disabled. If they were disabled, they wouldn't load when you start SketchUp the next time.

                  Yeah, after I restart all the plugins are still enabled.

                  I did all plugins except survey. I need to make multiple sets?

                    Didn't realize I should do both extensions and plugins. Disabling extensions worked... Plugins staying enabled after restart. Survey tool still doesn't work.

                      You can always do it the old way, rename your plugin folder to something else, like PluginsFull, make a new empty one and put the survey rb in it and see if it works, if it does then you know you need to find the errant plugin.

                        Yup... That did it. SO I guess this plugin that is causing the issue is also affecting Plugin Installer. Well at least I can get my survey done now. Thanks guys.

                          Sorry, I had to go fix an anesthesia machine so the gas passer could do their job. ๐Ÿ˜„

                          I suggested breaking your collection of plugins into several sets so you could put only a few plugins back at a time. That way, when the Surveytool quit working you would know that the offending plugin was in the last set you enabled. As long as it is working, though... You can work on sorting out which bad plugin you've got at your leisure.

                            Yeah it would make it much easier if I could use the plugin installer to do the sets. I'll report back on who the culprit is.

                              The Plugins Manager and its Sets will NOT work unless you have FULL read/write security permission to the Plugins folder.
                              With appropriate Admin privileges...
                              context-menu > Properties > Security > Edit...
                              Give every user/group listed FULL permissions.
                              Also set SketchUp.exe to 'always run as administrator' in Properties > Compatibility

                              The failure to keep the Disabling of Plugins or using Sets is a clear indication you have inappropriate security settings for your Plugins folder...

                                See... I knew it... I made the mistake of using an old hard drive with an operating system already on it last time I had a melt down. permissions are all screwy on it. I've tried to set them up, but it just hasn't taken correctly. It says it's admin, but it's not fully.

                                      Another weirdness is that if you have given your P's Plugins a custom icon, then although it might appear to have FULL permissions, Windows can have reduced your permissions slightly, this can be sufficient to limit your ability to write/manage files in the folder...

                                      Also, simply being an Admin or having SketchUp 'run as admin' is not sufficient IF Windows has limited your permissions [which is the default for new folders formed in the Programs Files tree]

                                      Your new FULL security permissions for the Plugins folder ought to filter down to apply to its contents too, as these should be set by default to take their permissions from their 'container'. However, it is worth checking this has happened too...
