Sketchucation Tools 4.4.1

This is weird.
Yours is the only report like this.

Your SketchUp is refusing to load the 'ZIP' methods needed to extract and then install the RBZ in AutoInstall mode through the dialog.

The code you tried in the Ruby Console should return => "constant"
So something is adrift.

Please can you look in the subfolder:
C:/Users/kenar/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2024/SketchUp/Plugins/SketchUcation/Data/Rubyzip
And check that these exist...
zip.rb
zip [folder]
and that folder's contents...
'zip/dos_time'
'zip/ioextras'
'rbconfig'
'zip/entry'
'zip/extra_field'
'zip/entry_set'
'zip/central_directory'
'zip/file'
'zip/input_stream'
'zip/output_stream'
'zip/decompressor'
'zip/compressor'
'zip/null_decompressor'
'zip/null_compressor'
'zip/null_input_stream'
'zip/pass_thru_compressor'
'zip/pass_thru_decompressor'
'zip/inflater'
'zip/deflater'
'zip/streamable_stream'
'zip/streamable_directory'
'zip/constants'
'zip/errors'

Also check that the following were available to be loaded by SketchUp from the Tools subfolders
C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2024\Tools\gems\3.2.0\gems\rbs-2.8.2\stdlib\zlib\0\zlib.rbs
and more importantly
C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2024\Tools\RubyStdLib\platform_specific\zlib.so

If they are... check the C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2024\Tools folder and contents have suitable permissions... properties>security>edit, and reset to 'Full control' for ALL those entries listed

Also right-click on the subfolder
C:/Users/kenar/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2024/SketchUp/Plugins/SketchUcation
and look at its properties>security>edit, and reset to 'Full control' for ALL those entries listed.
Restart SketchUp and see if that helped

@TIG
Yes, very strange.
In the .../Rubyzip/zip folder, I have everything except rbconfig.

I checked for ...zlib.rbs and ...zlib.so and both were present.

I set and/or verified that permissions were all set to 'Full Control' on the folders you mentioned.

Restarted and getting same result.

.css file association?
Sometimes somehow Windows file associations get lost...

Hi

Ive answerd your questions below. Hopefully Ive given the details you need but my technical abilities are a bit lacking so please come back to me if I need to give you more information.

I did restart skecthup .

@pjmeli
That's not enough info to go on.
How did you install the update ?
Im using skecthup 2018. I downloaded the update from the website into my downloads folder and using Extension Manager in Skecthup i clicked on the Install Extensions button and retreived the download from the downloads folder.

Have you restarted SketchUp afterwards. ?
I have restarted Skecthup.

Is there an Extensions/SketchUcation submenu listing ?
In the Extensions menu in Skecthup there is a SkecthUcation submenu . That was there before and is still there now. The window that opens up list eleven heads from Extension Store down to SCF License:My Licenses at Skecthucation.

Is the SketchUcation 'ExtensionStore' toolbar available and activated ?
Yes I can bring up the toolbar from View - Toolbars or right clicking .

If you run the tools with the Ruby Console open are there any error messages ?
I shut down the Extension Store window. Ive opened Ruby Consol and re-opened the EXtension Store Window.. I get now error messages when I open any of the three options in the Extension Store Window,.
BTW When I click on the blue and grey Icons in the Extension Store (Extensions Manager and Plugins Manager) I DO see all of my plugins in Loaded extensions. When I click the RED icon they are not listed.

If you click a button and nothing appears, then have you have an additional monitor plugged-in which might confuse where the dialog is trying to appear etc...
Not sure what you mean by monitor.

Thank you.

Signature File: absent

This points towards SketchUp not having write permissions. You can remedy this by right clicking the installer for SketchUp, choose Run as Admin and picking Repair.

I would also like to know if you go to Tools > Fredo Collection > JointPushPull > License... and use your license file to activate if any errors alerts happen.

You can also go to Extensions > Sketchucation > SCF Global License Status to open a dialog and click the License File Location button. If you see a SCFLicenseLog.txt file please share that too.

@kenarneson
Thanks for checking.
The 'rbconfig' was a mistype and shouldn't be there, I've edited that list !

HI

WHERE THE INSTALLER ? IM NOT SEEING IT. ITS POSSIBLE I MY HAVE DELETED IT AT SOME POINT IN THE PAST WHEN I HAD OTHER ISSUES. IM NOT SURE WHERE I COULD GET A 2018 INSTALLER NOW.

I would also like to know if you go to Tools > Fredo Collection > JointPushPull > License... and use your license file to activate if any errors alerts happen.

I HAVE FOLLOWED THE ROUTE OUTLINED ABOVE AND HAVE THE LICENSE EXTENSION ; JOINTPUSHPULL WINDOW OPEN. IF I PRESS THE GREEN ACTIVATE LICENSE BUTTON I GET DIRECTED TO A FOLDER CALLED Psets. IF I OPEN THAT FOLDER NOTHING HAPPENS. THERE IS A SUBFOLDER INSIDE Psest CALLED 0. AND NOTHING HAPPENS IF I TRY AND OPEN THAT.

You can also go to Extensions > Sketchucation > SCF Global License Status to open a dialog and click the License File Location button. If you see a SCFLicenseLog.txt file please share that too.

THE SCF LICENSE HAS THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WHEN I OPEN IT UP.

@ricky2468

Have you followed the activation instructions?
https://downloads.sketchucation.com/licensing/SCFLicense-Instructions_to_Users.pdf

Go here https://sketchucation.com/webshop/my-licences.php

Download your license files to your Downloads folder on your device. There is no need to open these files after downloading. Proceed to the next step...

Now in SketchUp go to Tools > Fredo Collection > JointPushPull > License... and when you click Activate navigate to your Downloads folder, pick your license file and click Open

Repeat these steps for the other extensions.

[ricky2468]

Thank you. I have the plugins ive downloaded working. when i read the activation instructions before i didnt see that there was more than one page as I can see on your link. Thats probably me!!!!

Im still getting a blank page on the red button inside the Extension store Window in Skecthup. Not causing me a problem but before I updated to V4.4 i had a list of plugins showing.

That's could be a cache issue. If you clear your Microsoft Edge Cookies does it load?

@Rich-O-Brien
With an HtmlDialog SketchUp caches its 'chromium' stuff somewhere like here:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2024\WebCache-112.0.5615.165
I don't know what's in it or how to clear it !

[ricky2468]

@Rich-O-Brien

I cleared the cookies and reloaded sketchup but still nothing showing

[ricky2468]

@TIG Ive

I found this. Im using skecthup 2018 but it has dolders for verions of skecthup from 2017 to 2023. I expect 2017 was the first vesion I used on this pc.
Looking in the 2018 folder there are three other folders inside WebCache. They are Cache, Dictionaries and GPUCache. Plus some some other files, Cookies 7KB; Cookies - journal 0KB; debug.log 568KB txt doc and visited links 128KB.

[RLGL]

I am trying to understand the managing of sets. If I have the steps right:
Start store extension
Use the blue button
disable extensions
select the sets menu
provide name
click the add button
At this point I expect the name I added to populate the list box


Any Ideas???
Thx Dave

[Rich O Brien]

@RLGL It looks to be broken in 4.4 but I need to test further to see how broken. Thanks for heads up.

Hi everyone,

I'm running into a similar situation where the plugin store extension is properly installed but when I click on the extensionstore, the dialogue box opens but nothing shows up.
Ruby Console doesn't show anything when I open the extension as well. I have tried the full access adjustment, restarting sketchup, etc. and nothing helps.

Is there a site that I'm supposed to unblock with my organization? I do see a sonic wall error when I open the plugin manager. Extensions manager works fine and shows all installed extensions with no errors.

I'm running 2024 SketchUP.

I think you've found the source of the issue with the Sonic Wall software.

You need to get *.sketchucation.com whitelisted

[Rich O Brien]

v4.4.1 - Plugin/Extension Manager bugfixes

Extension Manager Load Temp functionality has been removed as Extension's Manager Temp-load is 'blocked' by the sketchup API

[pipinek]

Greetings,

I have a strange issue with this extension.

Simply cannot activate via the extension via this one.
Skin extension returns itself to the right part of the Sketchucation Tools window (as Disabled - see attached image)

Thank you in advance for any piece of advice!

I'm getting an error on a dozen plus plugins when trying to install in SU 2024 on my 2016 Macbook Pro saying that the file could not be unzipped. Didn't have this problem on 2023 with this machine, or with 2024 on a new M1 Max Macbook Pro. Any ideas?
