      Hi,
      I'm puzzled because the "split" method is called several dozens of times in the code so I can't localize exactly where there's something wrong at startup. Maybe it's a Mac issue. Do you have a file "housebuilder_sections.txt in the HouseBuilder folder ? I guess yes...
      Give me some time to search...But take a look at the top of this thread, other people on Mac have the same issue as yours.

          Hi Didier,

          Thank you for the response. Yes, I do have have housebuilder_sections.txt in the HouseBuilder subfolder. This script is very useful, I saw the demo of this script at http://sites.google.com/site/3dbasecamp2008/all-sessions-2008/maxing-out-your-productivity-with-ruby-scripts.

          Regards,

            Greetings to all.

            Didier, just a quick note - I just wanted you to know that I am also having the same issues with my mac.

            "Error Loading File HouseBuilder_extension.rb
            private method `split' called for nil:NilClass"

            Any ideas?

            I tried to look for the "offending line" in the script but I quickly became confused. Is it "HouseBuilder_extension.rb", (which is not scrambled)
            or "HouseBuilder.rb", or "HouseBuilderTool.rb" (both of which are scrambled)?

            Please advise. I'm sure many of us in the Mac community would be very appreciative if we could get this to work!

            cheers from Berlin,

            Jason

              Hi
              It is probably in "HouseBuilder_extension.rb" there.
              I suspect this line is the offending one:

              su_path = Sketchup.find_support_file("Sketchup.exe").split("Sketchup.exe")[0]

              because there's no exe files on Mac, and they are located elsewhere. So su_path variable is nil, and when the script tries to locate the txt sections files, the su_path is splitted starting from a nil value, which raises error. (hope i'm clear 😳 )
              I'll take a look at this asap, but I'm very busy these days... Here is my todo list, apart from corporate devs:

              Terrain reshaper
              Housebuilder for Mac
              Transformer keys positions
              Align tool -> copy option
              Extrudelinesalongpath (follow me for lines)
              SU2STL & Heightfield_gen : binary tests
              Instancing brush for compo spray
              SU2POV mat editor sliders

              😄

                bonjour didier ...

                ok, i will see what i can do to make it work. note i am a total non-programmer, but maybe i'll have some luck and you can strike it off your list! i'll report back when i know if i have any success or not 😉

                a bientôt!

                  Cher Didier,

                  Bonjour! Alors, here's the report: I can't find the line you are talking about in the script. Pas trouve! It must be in one of the two scrambled files. Je regrete! Please advise if there is another way I can help!

                  best wishes from Berlin,

                  Jason

                    Is it possible to change this so that the wall (or whatever) you just created is undone in one go?

                    See all of my SketchUp models here.

                            its possible to translate ? i mean i dont know much about ruby (nothing actually), then this interesting plugin i wanted to use in spanish... then i see in the file : HouseBuilder_extention.rb some calls... like

                            # Floor tool
                              cmd3 = UI;;Command.new(("Floor tool")) { Sketchup.active_model.select_tool HouseBuilder;;FloorTool.new }
                              cmd3.small_icon = "HouseBuilder/hb_floortool_S.png"
                              cmd3.large_icon = "HouseBuilder/hb_floortool_L.png"
                              cmd3.tooltip = "Creates a floor."
                              hb_tb.add_item(cmd3)
                            

                            then i want to know if i can replace the texts between "" without affect the plugin?. 😎

                              Text within "" or even '' can be replaced with anything else you want - i.e. a translation... UNLESS it's a path to a file xxx/xxx/xxx.png etc DON'T change anything else - the worse that can happen is it won't work ! 😮
                              Keep a copy of the original ! 😒

                                Hello!!
                                I'm a spanish user of Sketchup, i'm translating a lot of plugins for SU to spanish language.
                                I have finished the translation of House Builder ver. 1.0, and it works fine in Mac, only one problem, some units in the options of the tools are in inches, and i work in metres but it's a minor problem, the rest is OK.
                                I can't translate The House Builder ver. 1.2 because the files HouseBuilder.rb and HouseBuilderTool.rb are encoded, i have translated the HouseBuilder_extension.rb only, the icons appear and the tooltip too in spanish, but don't works in Mac, it appears the same problem:
                                Error al cargar archivo HouseBuilder_extension.rb
                                private method `split' called for nil:NilClass

                                I would like upload the Spanish version of House Builder v. 1.0 for all users and the others plugins. Please, tell me how.

                                  Hi,
                                  Open the file in a text editor and go to line 34. It reads like this:

                                  su_path = Sketchup.find_support_file("Sketchup.exe").split("Sketchup.exe")[0]
                                  

                                  The problem is that there's no ".exe" files on Mac. Try to remove ".exe":

                                  su_path = Sketchup.find_support_file("Sketchup").split("Sketchup")[0]
                                  

                                  and see if it works.

                                  Regards,

                                    Not specifically to do with Didiers metric version, but I recently posted a few bug fixes relating to door opening size/position and that infuriating beep every time you context menu on http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=26858

                                    I'm thinking of breaking out the different functions and rewriting some of the less pretty code but to be honest I find Ruby such an unpleasant system to work in that it rather puts me off. Maybe I should just build an interface to Smalltalk.

                                      the files are scrambled, and i can't find any reference to sketchup.exe in the unscrambled file. could really do with a metric wall builder...

                                            Hi,
                                            Here is an 'unscrambled' version of the main script, with no reference to Sketchup.exe.
                                            Hope it will work on Mac.
                                            Regards,


                                            Overwrite House_builder_extension.rb in your Plugins folder with this one.
