      Hi,
      Just downloaded yesterday, and figuring out how to use it. Unfortunately, no matter what I do, I can't get audio on any of the videos. Computer speakers, through my stereo, videos on your site, or on YouTube. No problem with any other videos on the internet.
      Thanks

        Nothing is wrong, there is no sound.
        Do you want me to sing ? 😄
        Please read the pdf doc.

            I don't know how good a voice you have, so I suppose not. Guess that explains why there's no sound! I saw that someone complained about how fast they were, but I figured it wouldn't matter if I could hear what you were saying. Makes the pdf all the more indispensable. I'll watch the vids again after I study the pdf....

                No apologies necessary! I'm in awe of anyone that can write plug-ins like this, while still carrying on a "day job"! No rush, and thanks again for your contribution to the world of SketchUp!

                  To make a decent plugin take a lot of work. And it's much more than having an idea and writing a little bit of ruby code. That is the easy part. But testing it. Because it should run on all version of windows and os x, and on all versions of sketchup. It can conflict with other plugins. And the userinterface had to be easy to use too. Oh did I mension there are all kind of browsers and they are different on win and mac and the UI is depended on these browsers. Than there is documentation. The user want a manual and tutorial movies. You should give support on it and a lot of support as nothing to do with your plugin itself but is an os, sketchup or browser issue... Or just stupidity of the user (oh yes I switched of showing images in my browser yesterday, now I understand why your webdialog isn't showing icons anymore... But this is after a join.me session of half an hour.)
                  Most of the plugins make money for the users by saving a lot of time. Please respect the developers and support there efforts by paying for there hard work.

                    Hi Piet,

                    Here's a small sample of recent work using your plugin. All these are 100% sketchup/layout.

                    Thanks a lot!

                          KNOWN ISSUE:

                          RichSections created with older versions must be updated manually.
                          I will work on it to fix that.

                              The fileutils.rb is a standard file found in the RubyStdLib subfolder within the SketchUp Tools.
                              It does not auto-load when SketchUp starts, BUT can be required thus:
                              require "fileutils.rb"
                              Since the path to the RubyStdLib subfolder should be auto-added to the $: the .rb should be found in that folder.
                              Obviously something is failing...

                              Check a few things...
                              Is the RubyStdLib subfolder within the SketchUp Tools ?
                              Does it contain a file named fileutils.rb ?
                              If not reinstall SketchUp v2014 [latest version]...
                              Is the path to RubyStdLib included in the $: ? To check that you just type $: in the Ruby Console...
                              If you type require "fileutils.rb" in the Ruby Console what is the result ?

                              Report back...

                                      Hi Piet,

                                      I´m having some issues with this new version 0.5.1

                                      When I right click on a rs to update it, I get the new dialog, and then after a second right click, I can update it. Previously, on the first right click, I was able to update the section directly.

                                      The other thing is that, once the new dialog (which looks great btw, big improvement over the previous one), takes the focus, the main window can be orbited, but not zoomed in/out. This happens without notice, so that results in apparent sluggish navigation. Is there a way to switch between modal and non modal dialogs? It may be a matter of personal preference, but I like to have all these aux windows go away once they have served their purpose. This would avoid the first problem.

                                      Other than that, I´ve had no issues with this new version. I´ll keep testing.

                                      Thank you!

                                      Santiago

                                        Fileutils is used by my plugin, but it is part of the standard library since Sketchup 2014.
                                        Did you reinstall Sketchup ? (Even if you have the latest)

                                        Tell me....

                                          About zooming : If you click on the titlebar of the Sketchup-window, the main window will have the scope, and zoom-behaviour will be normal.

                                          About updating with one click: Yes my context-menu is buggy. I will work on it. But instant update is still possible if you use the update button on the panel, and then click on the sectionplan or Richsection group.

                                          About non-modal or modal dialog: The idea was to use a non modal dialog to allow the creation of materials, scenes.... to use within the RichSection. If necessary i will switch back to modal, or let you the chose, but first give me last chance to try the non-model way.

                                          Thanks for testing Santiago!

                                            Since the last UI interface I can't get my sections to update (no section name change). These are the errors shown:
                                            Error: #<ArgumentError: 'DarkRed' not valid values in list.>
