Hi Guys,

Just installed sketchup pro 2021. And encounter this error.

Error: #<SyntaxError: c:/users/mark.m/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2021/sketchup/plugins/followandrotate_en.rbs:49: invalid multibyte char (UTF-8)

Is this something we need to worry about?

Looking forward for your response and suggestions.

Thank you.

The clue is in the error message....

/plugins/followandrotate_en.rbs

...that right there is what WE need not to worry about.

For a bit more info on that, follow and rotate hasn't worked for a long time. So it isn't a bug, just a bugged plugin. Remove it or you will continue to get that error.

Since this isn't a SketchUp bug and is instead related to an old extension, I've moved the thread to the Plugins folder.

BTW, your profile says you are still using SketchUp 2014. Please update your profile. That information helps others help you.
