I think it might be due to a call to set_attribute where key and value is nil.

Yes, I noticed there was this call to set_attributes without key and value but couldn't immediately see where it came from. I found the problem now. Thanks for checking.

Thanks for the confirmation, Max.

As a quick test I removed the Vector3d object from the attributes but it didn't help. I need to get some work done so I have changed everything to use hashes and a hard coded configuration in the script file. I'll do some more testing when I have more time.

Hi all.

I have just completed a script to animate SketchUp scenes that uses attributes to store sequence information. When I use the script on a scene it attaches attributes (strings, integers and a Vector3d object to groups. After saving the file it can't be reopened in SketchUp 2014. Windows reports "Unexpected file format", on Mac it's a similar message that the file is corrupt.

Has anyone encountered this issue before? I used attributes successfully a few years ago, although I only stored strings back then. I can't remember if this was due to issues I encountered with SU 7 or if I just didn't have to use any more complex objects.

Thanks,
Thomas

Hi

I just fixed a similar UTF-8 encoding issue with the v5.7 version on a 64bit Windows 7 machine. It seems that the "copyright" symbol in the file comments is not correctly encoded and Ruby trips over this. I fixed it by replacing

IO.foreach(file) do |line|

with

IO.foreach(file, ;encoding => 'iso-8859-1') do |line|

in line 201 in Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb and again in line 366 in Lib6Core.rb. Not sure if this is the right way to do it but it works for me right now.
