FlexTools Crashing Sketchup

[jepark0805]

Hello FlexTool,

I just recently purchased a subscription of Flextools after using the trial and was able to update the license key and subscription and use the plugin. Once I closed out of SketchUp and restarted it, SU will crash with no error. I tried manually deleting all the plugin files in the Plugins folder and deleted the "F3d_FlexTools" folder located in AppData/Local and SU will load up fine. Once I reinstall Flextools plugin, it works but then crashes SU whenever it is restarted.

Is there any solution to fix this?

Hi,

1. The crashes started happening after transitioning from the trial?

2. Do the crashes happen if only FlexTools is installed and enabled? and no other extensions?

3. It looks like you've tried this already, but just in case:
   a. Disable all extensions
   b. Restart Sketchup
   c. Enable FlexTools and the Dynamic Components extension.
   d. Restart Sketchup
   e. check if it still crashes after another restart...

4. Please go to: C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\F3d_FlexTools\logs and send all the log files that you find there to us at: https://flextools.cc/contact/

Thank you for he assistance Yoni. I have no idea what I did but I left my computer alone over the weekend and now the plugin loads up fine without trying any fixes. I did however do a clean install of all plugins afterwards and have not come across the problem again.

Thank you .

Looking further into this. I believe Flextools is not compatible with Enscape3d plugin. FlexTools runs great with Enscape disabled and crashes when Enscape is enabled.

I have ran the following tests:

• Disabled all plugins (Working)
• Enabled all plugins (Fail)
• Disable Enscape3d (Working)
• Enable Enscape3d (Fail)

It looks your FlexTools make Thea for SketchUp 3.0 crash when exporting models.
When your plugin is disabled, Thea works as expected.

I have had a whole day debugging session with a kind user, who shared his machine with me today. Our export function was stopping due to some error in SketchUp (Temp folder error most likely raised by BugSplat).

I am not sure what actually happens, because I do not have your plugin on my machine, but I would really appreciate you either sharing FlexTools, so I could replicate the issue in my own debugging environment or please download Thea for SketchUp 3.0 and try to see for yourself rendering a larger model.

This issue has to be addressed.
