Twilight won't load for me.

FFS, why do they keep breaking things? Hopefully this has a good explanation.

How can you reconstruct without breaking?

A 64-bit rebuild had to have been in the works for a while, before the SU 2014 ruby upgrade, in my mind some advanced planning could have accommodated things.
Anyway, let's rejoice that the program is 64-bit finally. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the announcement was made internally, just to see Bacus' face and listen to his comments.

Skalp is already

Pure Ruby extensions did not break this round - which are most of them. But the extensions that use compiled binaries needs to compile again IF they are to run on 64bit. If anyone install 32bit SU2015 they all extensions should Just Work.
We also have contact with most developers out there and include them in early beta testing. However, many of the extensions that use binaries and need to recompile are more complex ones and they need more time to get their released in place. Within a few weeks we expect most of the popular extensions to be compatible again.
We don't want to break stuff and we do try to minimize the impact - but in many cases we have no alternative. It's an inherit challenge when you have a plugin system.

Re: Requirements for SketchUp 2015
That the moderators of this forum show unflagging patience in dealing with the multitude of questions which are about to appear as to why the plugins don't work in 2015.
Thanks in advance for your generous help (and repeating the help for the thousandth time).

Revizto 2.4 seems to be broken but Revizto 3.0 seems to work. the difference being 3.0 is subscription and 2.4 is not.

Looks like Smustard Toolbar is not working.
Both buttons get you to the website, but the 'check my purchases' purchases don't get listed

I have no problems with Smustard Toolbar.
Hidden Manager, on the other hand, doesn't work for me, as well as everything connected to AMS Library. -
Just got a note from Cornicopia3D and they are working on an update for the Vue Exporter.

Looks like Smustard Toolbar is not working.I just dropped smustard toolbar rb and folder into 2015 and it didn't work. I needed to install with the rbz. it works. -

I can verify Skalp is running on 64bit with no issues - just completed a CD set last night.

We try but it would sure be nice if the posters of those multitudes of questions could take at least a few moments to read the thread before they ask questions that have likely already been answered many times.

Seems to me that less things were broken this time around than with 2014... I'm quite pleased.

In SU2014 we changed the Ruby engine to a brand new one. In SU2015 we only added 64bit. So if you installed SU2015 32bit there should be no broken extensions. And even in 64bit only some with binaries would break.

NOTE:
Some plain Ruby scripts might break under v2015 - e.g. IF they ill-advisedly messed with Float by adding new methods.
The way Length is now related to Float HAS changed in v2015, so it won't inherit the new method and then the script fails because it's not defined for Length...
Of course good practice is to NOT mess with the base classes, but some older legacy tools still do !I have a separate issue with some of my Extrusion tools [EEbyRailsByFace, which uses EEbyFace looping] in v2015 64bit...
There's a BugSplat after the seemingly successful creation of geometry, as the tool exits.
I am investigating the cause, but the same SKP & process in v2014 works without any problems...
I've submitted a Bugsplat report - I can see no cause...
