Hi,

All worked for a while in 2014, but in 2015 and last updated version 2014, I get this error when trying to use the quick selection tool...

"Starting quick selection...
Parsing objects with option: All visible objects
Error: #<NameError: uninitialized constant Set>
(eval):63:in build_searchable_entities' (eval):495:in quick_selection'
(eval):691:in qs' (eval):710:in block in <top (required)>'
-e:1:in `call'"

any ideas please ?

Sketchup removed Set it now users Sketchup::Set

you could add

require('set')

at the top of the script...

it may then work, otherwise it needs a proper fix...

John, Thanks for the idea... it just made SU bugsplat on start... so i undid the change in order to work; I guess we just have to hope D Bur has a moment to update this plugin which was brilliant !

You can replace all occurrences in the script from Set.new with Sketchup::Set.new

Jim,
Thankyou ! BingoBongo it works !
best,

would it not be better to do a search and replace changing Set to Sketchup::Set in the script...

Yes.

I edited my example to remove the code snippet - it's a very bad idea.

I was going to suggest that, but what happens if another ruby has already used require 'set'?

That shim should be done in the extension namespace - then it's all fine. It should NOT be done in the global namespace as that will clash.

I edited my snippet - it was a bad example without the namespace.

Better to just find and replace Set.new with Sketchup::Set.new

The easiest fix for Ruby 2 and higher, is to use a refinement that only that file can "see" and use.
I inserted the following at the top of the file (after deleting the Set reassignment):

require 'set'

# Create a refinement for the Set class:
module DBUR
  module RefinedSet
    refine ::Set do
      alias :insert :add
      alias :contains? :include?
    end
  end
end

# Use the refinement:
using DBUR::RefinedSet

By request from @paddyclown, here is the "fixed" file.
It still needs a drastic overhaul, but this will get it working (fingers crossed):

DBUR_QuickSelection.rb

@Didier-Bur ping (I do not know how to send this by PM in this new forum interface.)
