[Plugin] SketchUcation Tools 2.6

Dan,

this is the result in the ruby console :

puts $load path
Error; #<SyntaxError; cannot load such file -- rubygems.rb
<main>; syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting end-of-input
puts $load path
               ^>
SketchUp;1;in `eval'
nil

I suspect now it has something to do with the trialversion of plusspec I had running and is now removed. They needed the rubygems. Perhaps I deleted something I shouldn't have done while removing the pluspec plugin.
The installation was done in the system drive.

Sorry Dan my mistake I did a typo.
I I start SU I get the error codes as I mentioned before. If I continue the toolbar appears. I I then open the ruby console an click on the sketchucation plugin the ruby console says :

puts $load_path

nil

I I try to install a ruby (p.e. comments) the ruby console says :

Error: #<LoadError: cannot load such file -- open-uri>

Thank you for looking in on it.

I think it's because you are using v2014 on a PC AND you open a SKP by double-click to launch SketchUp... AND that SKP is on a drive that is NOT where SketchUp.exe is installed.

This is a known issue with v2014M0.
This confluence of events causes SketchUp to add incorrect paths into $: for the two Ruby Lib folders at startup.
Then any of those Ruby scripts which are called by a ' require' can't be found.

It is expected to be fixed in the coming update v2014M1...

Because of this path-mess, some Plugins will not work if they use the new Ruby features available with Ruby2 which is shipped with v2014 - so in v2014 when the SCF PluginStore tries to use open-uri to ping data and download RBZ's etc it will fail...

Meanwhile, there is a fix = http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=519331#p519331
Download and place this .rb file into the v2014 Tools folder - typically it's
C:\Program Files (x86)\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\Tools
Then the $: will be reset as SketchUp starts, so that it always include the correct Ruby Lib paths [at least for non-Asian users]...

Thanks TIG, you'r a miracle worker (as usual).
Works like a charm now. Many thanks. Did not read that earlier post because I wasn't on 2014 so it did not matter. Had better done a search.

And, if you re-read what I said, .. I said to type:
puts $LOAD_PATH
(... notice how the global variable name is in ALL CAPS ?)

You can also (as TIG mentioned,) type
puts $:
(because $: is an alias for $LOAD_PATH.)

When things are good, the output will look like (except the username will differ,):

puts $;
C;/Program Files (x86)/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/Tools/RubyStdLib
C;/Program Files (x86)/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/Tools/RubyStdLib/platform_specific
C;/Program Files (x86)/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/Tools
C;/Users/Dan/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins

Sorry Dan, lesson learned.
I now get the same output in my ruby console.

Hi,

I was a SU 2013 user. And I didn't want to go to SU2014 because the plugins works different.
I made the step and went to SU2014 but after installing SketchUcation 2.6
It installs whell but after restart SU I get errors.

These are the errors:

Error: #<LoadError: cannot load such file -- open-uri>

What did I do wrong?

@Frits

The answer was a few posts earlier http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=524358%26amp;f=10#p524358
Please read that...
I suspect you have the same issue...
If you start SketchUp from the SketchUp.exe rather than a SKP on another drive you should not experience the error.
Adding the special 'fix' rb file into the Tools folder should resolve the issue until an update of SketchUp is released...

Hi all, I have an odd anomaly...

When I click on the button for sketchucation plugin store (i have v 2.6.0) I get the error

"Navigation vers la page Web annulée
Essayez la chose suivante :
Actualisez la page. "

(navigation to webpage cancelled, try following: reload page) - which I try to no avail...

I went into the java config tool on my PC and tried activating/deactivating stuff & nothing doing, I also checked that sketchucation was authorised in the noscript plugin for firefox...

very odd... it used to work

thanks if anyone has a bright idea

TIG

On a PC all web-dialogs use IE, irrespective of your preferred browser - like Firefox.
Check your IE Internet Options settings...
Allow javascript etc...
Has your system or IE been updated recently ?

paddyclown

TIG yes, thanks; tried everything I can think of in IE (it is fully up to date as is my OS - I always let windows update do it's thing) I reset the security parameters in IE and checked in the JAVA config & all seems activated as it always was
The worst is it works on another computer running windows7 (which I hate) hého, maybe I should reinstall IE if I have some time to waste...
It would be cool if in SU we could tell it to use Firefox or whatever as the browser....

thanks anyway

best,

Gábor

Might this explain the cause?

Hi,

Just to let you know I fixed the problem and here's how:

I reset IE to the original install settings

$-reset IE9.jpg

& I got rid of the access manager (deactivated it)

$-enlever-remettre gestionnaire d'accès IE9.jpg

cf attached images (sorry my system is in French)

anyway, thanks to all for your time/help

best,

Gábor

hello all,

I have some questions concerning "My setup" part of plugin :

1./ I have 2 (two) "Bundles" for my one computer, neither has all plugins/extensions.
How can I manage them, add together, update to include my all set of plugins/extensions? (I want recreate same for my new PC setup)

2,/ What is difference between "downloads" and "instals", what is for?

regards

Gábor

In the Bundles only those plugins are included what were obtained from and can be found at the SketchUcation pluginstore.

@bimbachi said:

"Downloads" are those plugins what you've ever downloaded from the PluginStore. "Instals" is a subset of the "Downloads" what contains the list of those plugins what are still installed on your given SketchUp instance.

thank you.

I have downloaded SU Tools. I believe this to be true because I have the different colored cubes on the toolbar. I am trying, and have been for a month, to download FredoScale. After doing what the tutorial shows, and using SU2014, nothing happens. The program works, but FredoScale does not come up. Could it be that I need to sign up for a paid subscription? Pretty much I am holding on my design until I can somehow get FredoScale. I am willing to pay for any help.

TIG

FredoScale [and his other Plugins] need FredoLib installing too...
See its guidance notes...
When it's installed restart SketchUp.
Check if there's a Preferences > Extensions to load - if so activate it.
Also its Toolbar might then need activating...

bimbachi

Hi
