Hi All,
I'm new but i think i fixed the MacProblem with Skin.rb
Because of Sketchup V6 and V7 have no NamedOptions there was this NilObject Problem.
Here is the latest Code (2.5) with changes to the Option related Sections.
Should be also running under Windows.
Best Regards

Hi Again,
Here is the next Version. I call it -26, because it works now within Groups and Components.
This was a very minor Change frome active_model.entities to active_model.activ_entities.
Thanks to Thomas Thomassen for his clearly tt_cg2.rbBest Regards

is this latest amendment only a MAC script?
-
No should be working on Windows too.
-
@christian-dl:
Does skin26 have the toolbar icons? And can anyone confirm Windows operability? -
mitcorb-The toolbar is the same with previous skin22(or next) ... u need just to replace the skin22.rb(or next) with skin26.rb ..and yes works on windows too(i don t get it he(christian_dl) said clear it works why don t u give it a try huh??)
Thanks a bunch christian_dl ..it works very well in groups and components
Additional thanks to Thomas Thomassen.Elisei

Believe me. It is nothing personal. I had such difficulty before with getting the icons the ruby and the drop down menu entry in one package, I am just not interested in more of the same gymnastics.

skin26.rb on iMac: sooooo useful in ducting construction and all sorts of other things!
Many, many thanks,christian_dl (and ThomThom)
Also looking forward to Chris' ruby

Dear Christian,
Your skin-26 doesn't seem to be compatible with the icons for skin22. Only 2 of the 5 icons appear. Could you please produce a folder of icons which are compatible with your script?

I agree Bob. The skin ruby icons are the ones i always have trouble with...

Something makes me believe that Architectboy is no longer involved with Sketchup, or Ruby. He may have moved on to other interests as he got older. He just didn't resign formally. He certainly showed that he has the talent.
If one of the moderators cares to pursue this, I think I know his full name and what region he last resided. I otherwise will respect his privacy.

BobDear Bob,
As I found out.
The v22 is the only one with a 5 icons Toolbar.
Also in this Version there is no Settingdialog. I think thats the Reason for the 5 Icons.
This Version also works within Groups and Components.All later Version have a three icons Toolbar and the Settings dialog.
I don't know exactly why the Author of Skin changed this Behavior.
Also he changed back to active_model.entitities. Why ever??With skin-26.rb i repair only the NamedOptions and changed back to active_model.active_entitities.
Because on OSX, Skin doesn't work at all since v23.
Because i'm not a mathematical genius i don't know very well about changes to the 3D Code.So If you satiesfied with v22, stay there.
Best Regards

good advice, Christian, Ta.

This was done with skin26 on MacPro. There's no smoothing and there's one icon not showing (but it works - preferences). On my iMac at home all three icons show.
The Skin folder has four icons in it.

I want to know where to author of the script is?
I hope we have(Edit: n't) scared him off? If i remember he was a young lad. (Maybe)
Dyslexics rule KO!!

This is an older version of the Skin folder that has six icons in it that results in three being shown with skin26.rb.
Note that "Smooth" is unavailable (no other choice).@bob james said:

I might add that it took several tries to get the result shown (all sorts of weird results).

Dear Bob,
Thats the same Result as on my Mac. Should be 6 Icons.
As I found out. The ..L.png's are for Windows. The ..S.png's are for OSX.
The Smoothing Option is not implemented, because the Author promised this for a Version 3. See a Posting in this Thread before.
I compared the Code v22 with v26 and there are a lot of changes to the 3D Routines as well.
It tooks time to re-think (understanding) the Code. On the other Hand it's a good Way learning Ruby. May be any-one-other in this Forum has a brief Knowledge to interpret the Changes.Regards Christian

Regards ChristianThanks for the investigation report: now it makes sense that only three icons show (and that I should be patient and wait for version 3 for smoothing).

Speaking of the author, has anyone see the him around...?
