      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.

          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?

          Regards,
          Bob

              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.

                Dear 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
                Christian

                    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.

                        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).

                        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.
                          Skinfolder.png
                          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

                            Thanks 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).

                                    Sorry, what version is the final one? I tried Skin 2.2, but I remember that a few weeks ago I found a version that included som kind of line division in smaller segments.
                                    Thank you.

                                        Have no idea... I just look for a "skin" plugin that works well.

                                          i tried to use this plugin to skin my rc sailplane fuselage formers. i could not manage it to work anyway.

                                          then i draw simple squares on same axis to try. i tried to skin between two shapes, but nothing works. something i did should be wrong i guess.
