Lines2tubes For Sketchup 2014 Not Working - Any Alternatives

chunter

Lines2tubes doesn't work for sketchup 2014. Does anyone know if there is any alternative for sketchup 2014? Anything that can turn lines into tubes?

I've attached the lines2tubes plugin if you want to test it out.

Thanks

Yes. The plugin needs a bit of minor reworking. A simple search here on SCF would have turned up this: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=530701#p530701

You can easily make the edit yourself... or use this: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=529708#p529708

sorry for the repost. Thanks!
This was exactly what I needed:
[highlight=#ffffbf:1g49xe8z]Didier needs to rework his rb file for v2014 compatibility and republish it...

BUT you can do it temporarily for your own use, even though his script is 'packed'.
Open the file lines2tubes.rb in Notepad, and go to the end:
Change
...}.unpack("m").to_s
to read
...}.unpack("m")[0]
Save the changes.
Restart SketchUp.

The script will then load and work in v2014 !

This simple fix can be applied to any of Didier's 'packed' scripts that aren't working in v2014.

These edited scripts will also load and work in earlier SketchUp versions too... [/highlight:1g49xe8z]

Yes. I knew that was exactly what you needed which is why I posted the link.

chunter,

Thank you so much for that little bit of coding temporary fix. Works in 2015!

I guess it's too late for you but for those who come along later with the same issue, you could just install the current version of Lines2Tubes and make it easy on yourself.

Yes, there is a new all-version compatible version in the PluginStore !
