emahfuz, go to the link in the post at the top of this thread, look for the attachment called hb_icons.zip and download. Next find your SU installation folder, go to plugins > housebuilder folder, copy icons extracted from the zip file provided into said folder.

Hi, Didier
Sorry to say that the new icons don't make any difference

Hi Didier,
I install the new icons but still no lucky...
i´m runing SU in PC with windows (but spanish version, maybe that´s the problem)
The absolute path by default to the SU executable is:
C:\Archivos de programa\Google\Google SketchUp 6\SketchUp.exe
I think that everyone has "Program Files" instead "Archivos de programa"Daniel S

What's going on with these icons
Still searching.
Anyone has my layer manager script with similar problems ??? -
Didier:
On a Mac the path will always be:
/Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup 6/Plugins/Housebuilder/housebuilder_sections.txt
if that helps.
Many thanks, I haven't been by earlier so my apologies for taking so long to post the info.
I was looking at the old housebuilder and the ruby wasn't encoded like it is now or I would have tried chasing this myself.
Many thanks and have a great day.

I've installed ruby as directed, activated the housebuilder menu under the view functions, also replaced the images with the new - still no icons though...
-
SORRY all for the inconvenience (related to icons)
I think I've got the solution: for an unknown reason scrambled extension code doesn't seem to work OK on some platforms (wether PC or Mac).
I'll publish in a few hours a "non-scrambled" main script to replace the 'offender'.

I'm sure this one will work !!!
Please download it at the depositary and re-install ALL files.
Regards, -
Now I can see the icons!!!
Thank you Didier!!!

Didier, some hint for the encrypted/scrambled version: The code is executed through "eval" and so some file infos are missed. If you want to build a nearly fully encrypted version, you can write a simple non-encrypted Ruby file, which only sets a global constant (make sure you are not using a variable) like
MY_FILEDIR = File.dirname(__FILE__).gsub(/[\\\/]/, File;;SEPARATOR) << File;;SEPARATOR unless defined? MY_FILEDIR # all in one lineWithin the encrypted file you -> require the non-encrypted file and are done. Say you have
- my.rbs
- my/mypath.rb
than you require like this:
require 'my/mypath.rb'The "defined?"-thing is done to avoid possible redefiniton of the constant - that would raise an error (or give a warning, not sure).
edit: One regular expression and one gsub is enough

Didier:
I still get:
Error Loading File HouseBuilder_extension.rb
private method `split' called for nil:NilClassWhen SU starts and although one can bring up the House Builder tool pallette, it won't actually do anything when one clicks on the buttons.
Sorry for being a wet blanket

Hi Didier,
Works now perfectly!! Thanks
Karl,
Had the same problem as you, removed every housbuilder script from the plugin folder and did a re-install with the new script. Problem was solved.

Hi Kmead,
I noticed that the path to HouseBuilder is wrong:
/Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup 6/Plugins/Housebuilder/Please rename the Housebuilder folder to HouseBuilder, because pathes are case-sensitive.
Hope this will solve the problem -
Hi again Didier...
It woks perfect but everytime when i do a right-click on a selection it makes an annoying "beep" sound.
I remember that was a problem (?) of previous housebuilder´s versions, so i search in the old forum for an answer...
if i put in the console:
module UI; def self.beep; p caller; end; end
the problem is solved... but when i restart SU6 i have to put it again in the ruby console.
Another solution found in the old forum was to replace:
UI.beep
by
#UI.beep
in housebuilder. But i think that part is encrypted. Could you make this change for me?Thanks in advance,
Daniel S -
Hi Daniel,
Done. See depository and replace houseBuilderTool.rb in your HouseBuilder folder.
Cheers, -
Thank you Didier! I have no more the "beep"
And all the rest works perfect.Thank you again,
Daniel S -
Still not enjoying the love. Still suffer the same error on a Mac. Its no fun being a minority...

Hi Kmead,
Let's try something else:
Could you open the Ruby console and type:a = Sketchup.find_support_file("Sketchup.exe") ENTER
and then type:
a + "Plugins\HouseBuilder\" ENTER
Please post the 2 results you've got, just to check if really it's a path problem or a backslash string problem or
Let's debug online...

Didier,
Since I have the same problem as Kmead on my Mac (with OSX 10.4.9), I followed this thread with great interest. I did what you adviced him to do. The results are: nil and Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `+' for nil:NilClass> (eval)
But, maybe the problem is of an other nature:
It was adviced to put everything concerning HouseBuilder in a separate folder under ..../plugins. So I did. Well, this is the only ruby to be stored in this way.
There are more rubies extracting information from separate folders located in the pluginsfolder, but they all have an "open" xxxxx.rb file in the pluginsfolder (as a startingpoint !?), except Housebuilder.
I am just a 'simple' Mac SU pro user, using a lot of rubies, so anything but a ruby-specialist. The only thing I can offer is help in performing any 'test' you would ask me for.with appreciation and greetings,
Ton
