[Plugin] S4u Make Face

TIG

Do you mean you don't understand me, or just what has happened ?
Here are screen-shots of the RBZs for the two versions', showing the subfolder's contents.
Clearly the 2nd one is not 'signed' [it has no hash file] and the files are RB, i.e. NOT encrypted at all...

Hello!
thanks for the plugin, but I get this error:

Erreur de chargement du fichier s4u_makeface.rb
undefined method `instance_variable_defined?' for S4U:Module

I'm using Sketchup 8... too old?
best regards

It looks like you'll need to do one of three things:

uninstall the version you have loaded and revert to the first version (released 2014 by the looks of it) but I'm not sure that will solve your problem.
upgrade to at least SU 2014 as from what I can tell on Extension Warehouse the compatibility is listed as SU 2014 through SU 2018 (current release of SU).
look for an alternative plugin / extension that will do what you want in SU8.

Hi!

Thanks a lot for this plugin!

Have you been thinking of making it work through groups? Like we select a group or a couple of them and it automatically creates faces inside the groups, where needed. This would be a mesh repair giant!

Hi,
I'm running Sketchup Pro 2016 and I get this error when trying to install this extension.

I tried through the Extension Warehouse... updated and still get this error.
I uninstalled and went through Sketchucation and still get this error.

I went to preferences and Installed from the downloaded RBZ file. Restarted and still get this error. This is not the first time this has happened either. s4u extensions don't seem to want to load for me... Freedo6 extensions don't work either but that is a tale for another day.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Some extensions like Fredo's, thomthom's and this one's too, will require you to install their helper Lib RBZ... All available from the PluginStore...

Try that...
Restart SketchUp to ensure everything gets synced...

However, I suspect that you might not have installed SketchUp correctly - this can lead to all sorts of unpredictable problems - often centering around file/folder permissions etc.

The only correct way to install [or repair] any complex app like SketchUp is this...

Log in to Windows as your normal 'user'.
If SketchUp is open, then close it.
Find the SketchUp installer's exe file icon [probably in your Downloads folder ?].
Select it and right-click > context-menu > "Run as administrator"
When prompted choose "Repair".

When it's completed restart SketchUp and see if that helps...

Running the installer's exe file - e.g. by double-clicking it - will NOT install it properly - even if your normal user has been granted admin-powers, or even if you are the main system-administrator [which is not recommended anyway]...

I haven't had a problem with ThomThom at all but even after getting Fredo's library I still get this type of error. I have since given up on that creator's extensions - which hurts since there are so many useful extensions provided by Fredo. I've been hunting for answers for this issue for a while but this is the first I've heard of repairing the installation. I appreciate that! I'll do the repair and then investigate whether there is a s4u library I need and then I'll try again. Fingers crossed.

Hi Again,
I repaired my .EXE file. I opened SU as an administrator and went to the Warehouse to install s4u Make Face. I checked to see if a library was required and there was no evidence of a s4u library in the warehouse or here on sketchucation. Then I closed SU and reopened and got this error

I installed the RBZ file for Make Face from the Preferences Window, closed and reopened and got the same error. This was the same deal I went through with Fredo's extensions (with the exception being there I DID install Fredo's library first and got a whole bunch of errors) and why I've been transferring STL files out to other software. If someone can help me figure out why this is happening it would be greatly appreciated and it would greatly improve my workflow if I could stay in the same software.

Thanks!

This may or may not be relevant but I downloaded LibFredo6 along with Joint Push Pull and Tools on Surface to see how my installation would respond to having a helper Library. Well... same as before I downloaded them all. I went to Preferences and installed each .RBZ file. Then I restarted SU as an administrator and I got this error

So I have repaired my .EXE file and I've installed the helper library and I'm still getting errors. Does anyone know what exactly is causing these errors and how can I correct them?

Hello,
I have sketchup 2017.
I have downloaded the s4u makeface, but it does not work now. It gives the message that"s4u is not active"
I checked the extension manager but it has a tick on the plugin.

Wasn't this extension free since 2004 ? it asks for licence.
Now we've to buy this simple plugin, or code our own "makeface" and share it, or maybe this is a bug ? Anyone having explanation about the change reason ?
