TIG nailed the first part of the problem with his suggested fix.
After rebuilding my plug-ins folder, I have determined the culprit causing the conflict is a ruby called 'singleton' in a folder called 'ruby'. As near as I can tell, it is used with Jim Foltz's 'autocenterpoint'.
With that one file removed, SketchyPhysics seems to load and run just fine. I hope this helps and look forward to a fix.
Thanks to both of you for your help with this.

Ok-we are making progress!
When I do as you suggested and start SU, I get the following:
Error Loading File sketchyphysics.rb
undefined method `file_loaded?' for main:Object
But, once I clear this and start SU, I can load sketchyphysics through the console and run the model. At this point, the console gives this:

I'm guessing this second part is normal because after this I can run the model. I will spend some time this weekend loading plugins one at a time until I hit the error and then report back.
Thanks for your help and this nifty script. I am happy to help as I am mostly an observer here with little opportunity to contribute.

Hi Chris,
I did as you suggested (I hope).
After disabling Sketchyphysics from the plug-in menu, restarting SU and entering the statement, I got this;
load('sketchyphysics.rb')
true
If I then restart sketchyphysics from the plug-in menu, the console gives this;

I'm not sure that will be much help, but thank you and let me know what you would like me to try next.

Hi,
I get the exact same error as Loolytoo above. The only apparent difference is I am using Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and SU7. I have tried reinstalling SketchyPhysics. When I run a sample model, the Ruby console shows this;
Checking if dueForUpdate
String doesn't compile: uninitialized constant MSketchyPhysics3::SP3xSimulationContext::SPSounds#<NameError: uninitialized constant MSketchyPhysics3::SP3xSimulationContext::SPSounds>

Had I made this model myself, I would say it is operator error, but that is not the case.
Could someone shed some light on how to either solve this or work around it so I could try my hand at using this plug-in?
Thanks,
Andy
After looking at your model but appreciating I am far from an expert at SU, I would suggest using Fredo's Curviloft or, perhaps, TIG's set of extrusion tools. The problem I foresee is I am not sure any of those will give you a developed surface which is what you will need in order to make that boat using flat, plate like, materials (like plywood or sheet aluminum). I would be interested to know if either of these plug-ins will generate a developed surface (or if it is inherent) or if one of them could be modified to do so. That last is a hint because I would like to be able to create developed surfaces in SU.
