It does not auto-load when SketchUp starts, BUT can be required thus:
require "fileutils.rb"
Since the path to theRubyStdLibsubfolder should be auto-added to the$:the .rb should be found in that folder.
Obviously something is failing...Check a few things...
Is theRubyStdLibsubfolder within the SketchUpTools?
Does it contain a file namedfileutils.rb?
If not reinstall SketchUp v2014 [latest version]...
Is the path toRubyStdLibincluded in the$:? To check that you just type$:in the Ruby Console...

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

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!

Hi Piet
Since the last UI interface I can't get my sections to update (no section name change). These are the errors shown:

It seems that 'DarkRed' (Sketchup color or material) doesn't exist on your computer.
What happens if you make a material 'DarkRed' before opening the RichSection panel? -

To load automatically 14 predefined hatches- In RichSection/settings : Load materials .... :
replace "materials/RichSection-v0.3/#default.mat.skp"
by "materials/RichSection-v0.3/RS_V0_14.mat.skp" - For new models : 14 materials will be loaded at the first RS creation
- In models with RichSections : delete the "#default" material and create a new RichSection
- In RichSection/settings : Load materials .... :

Hi Piet,
I've been using your latest version.
I'm having some issues:
The main rs dialog contracts to a size smaller than it's intended one. Text overlaps, and some buttons will dissapear. This happens a lot when creating new rs, not when editing existing ones.
Section name has to be changed two times, when creating rs. The first time will default to #00x. The second time, the corrresponding layer will change it's name, the section has to be renamed manually. In setttings, I have rs create 1 scene, with section hidden, and camera aligned.
I have to change layer visibility so the layer with the rs group is visible. I remember doing this for different views that used the rs (perspective sections for example), but not for the main rs scene.
Once the scene and rs name is changed, I have to manually delete the original layer, (#00x)
Running win 10, x64

You will have to change the names of th materials (or make a copy with another name).
Read the documentation (pdf in first post). Frome page 4:
[dir=ltr:24wchjke]If the selected option for 'RichSection section material name' is 'prefix+layername, default',
then the following section-materials will be asigned :
If a group (or componentinstance) is in layer 'Layer1' and the prefix is '#' : Then the plugin will look for the RS material '#Layer1'. If it exist in the Model (<=> in the library), it will be assigned. If not, the RS material assigned to the cut-face will be 'default' witch means that the RS material of the Component(instance) or Group containing this nested element will be used. If no corresponding RS material can be found, the default RS material will be used.[/dir:24wchjke] -

Running win 10, x64
Dialog to small : Webdialogs are running on internet explorer (IE version 10? on windows 8, and not win 10?)
I have IE 9 i think, i will test with IE10 to find a solution.RS name not correct after creation: behaviour of Webdialogs is not always logic : before closing the panel, you will have to leave the inputfield by selecting another control on the same panel or by using the tabulation button.
RS layers are defined 'switched off in new scenes' : to use them in another scene you will have to update once the scene after creation.
The programmers API can't purge layers, nor styles. Thus i can't clean up.

Sorry the lack of feedback PiGa.
I'm having issues with version 0.5.3Can't change the properties of the default created richsection.

Strange, I have also Win 8 and SU2014, without that problem.
Did you try to change the settings before creating the section?
Are you updating a RichSection created with an older plugin version?
What parameter did you modifiy?
Did you changed options in the menu plugings/RichSection/settings ?
If so, can you reset the settings for user and model and try again? -
@Santiago(caronte01) @cesaro36 @bimbachi and all the others : thanks for testing !
RichSection has been updated : Release Notes for RichSection V0.5.4bugfix : renaming RS after creation
bugfix : changing properties of RS
bugfix : other ...
disabled (not working on this moment) : creating RS from existing section
also tested on Mac : known bug on Mac: RSpanel not working when opening other model, opening 2nd model : Workaround : close panel before (or after) opening new file
@ Santiago
About modal and non modal RS-panel : To avoid the problem of the main window losing focus, the next version of my plugin will open the RS-panel after having placed the sectionplane. -
[url][/url]also TESTED and working on Sketchup 2015 & Windows 8

I tested it too... Working and working very quickly.

Hi Piet,
Quick test of the latest version updating some plans done a while ago. This latest version seems to update noticeably faster, and the small info dialog does not collapse onto itself as before. I´ll try and do a more in depth test later.
