Getting "Shapes" error msg in 2015

[hellnbak]

This just started tonight.

Whenever I open a model in 2015, after it opens I get this error msg -


There's more to the msg, if you need to see it all let me know.

Anyhow, after I close the msg Shapes works just fine.

Any ideas?

This looks like you need to update the plugin to a version compatible with Ruby 2.0.

The old shapes.rb file by @Last is woefully old...
It's entry in the PluginStore is purely 'legacy' - it's notes say so...
It's not compatible with newer SketchUp versions.
Remove its lone .rb file from your Plugins folder.

Trimble have their own new/improved su_ version available from their EWHouse.
BUT there is an even better alternative by John McClenahan, now available in the PluginStore http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=jwm_shapes
It was recently given a face-lift - it now has a few extra shapes and it allows you to place your shape as you make it, rather than always plonking it at the origin !

Well, it also could be that I have a bad installation of 2015. It's had some strange problems with 2015 on this computer that are not present on my other computers (I haven't checked to see if this particular problem is one of them, yeah, I'm lazy and dain bramaged and probably shouldn't have posted this thread until I had done so) and this computer (my main one) has other problems that hopefully will go away when I rebuild it with parts I received yesterday and, jeez, this sentence is really dragging on, as is my life, so I'll go away now.

Have a nice Thanksgiving

TIG, just read your post as I was about to post this. Thanks very much for the info, sounds like it will take care of the problem.
