      I installed Engineering Toolbox through the Extension Warehouse which warned me about expired digital signatures but then reported the extension was ready to go.

      After restarting SU, I loaded my drawing and opened the Ruby console. I selected a circle drawn on the floor, opened the toolbox from within SU and browsed to a 4x3 Concentric Reducer and clicked 'Insert'.

      See below for the error message displayed in the console.

      Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method transformation' for #<Sketchup::Face:0x00000007b21748>> C:/Users/tcw/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp/Plugins/engineeringtoolbox_tools/engineeringtoolbox.rb:26:in eval'
      C:/Users/tcw/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp/Plugins/engineeringtoolbox_tools/engineeringtoolbox.rb:26:in eval' C:/Users/tcw/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp/Plugins/engineeringtoolbox_tools/engineeringtoolbox.rb:26:in block in create_dialog'
      SketchUp:1:in `call'

      This statement is found in engineeringtoolbox.rb
      require 'sketchup.rb'

      And this statement is found in engineeringtoolbox_tools.rb
      require 'extensions.rb'
      require 'sketchup.rb'

      Both of these files are found in C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2016\Tools

      SU Make 2016
      Win7 64-bit
      Chrome Browser but IE is installed

      What else can I tell you to track down what I suspect is a configuration error?

      Thanks,

        The error tells you the line and the file...
        Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined methodtransformation' for #Sketchup::Face:0x00000007b21748>
        C:/Users/tcw/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp/Plugins/engineeringtoolbox_tools/engineeringtoolbox.rb:26:in eval'
        Line 26 in engineeringtoolbox.rb
        A Face does not have a transformation.
        So I suspect that the code [I don't have it at hand] for '4x3 Concentric Reducer' is expecting you to have selected something that does have a transformation - like a group, component_instance etc...
        Have you read the usage instructions ?

          TIG,

          Your clear explanation provided the direction needed. I actually had read through the instructions which is why I drew a circle on the floor and selected its face to place the new component on the floor. Guided by your answer, I made the circle a group and the component insertion worked as expected.

          Thanks,
