I have quite a similar problem. At first run, the same error message appears. Then after running again, the generation dialog appears for a split second and diappears without doing nor showing anything. It used to work fine before but now I cannot use it. I have tried putting contours without materials in a brand new group all in the Untagged tag but it doesn't work.
Sketchup 2021. All plugins and libraries updated. Usage under bundle purchase.
Please help.
Cannot get it right. If I install via Sketchucation Extension Store to the AppData/Roaming folder, I get the unzip error. However, if I install to the ProgramData folder, even though the error window pops up, the tool gets installed and its fully functional but only for the current session (next time i open Sketchup, the tool is gone). If I try to install from the downloaded RBZ, I get another error warning and no tool.
Cleared IE cache and restarted SKP several times. First time I have to deal with a situation like this. Hope you guys can advise any further.
Using Sketchup 2019.

Hi Here is a link to the model as requested.

Your model had absolute paths to textures. That's not supported by plugin.
I converted absolute paths to relative paths with a text editor. It's OK now:[attachment=1:ewxujz9c]<!-- ia1 -->Fixed DirectX Model.png<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:ewxujz9c]
Fixed model is attached below:

Hello Samuel, first off, thank you so much for this superb tool!! I have the same issue about textures. I just installed the plugin and imported and FBX file but it comes in without textures. My base model comes from Revit. How can I re-path the textures so that the plugin car read / load them into Sketchup? (Text editor, ok, but how?)
I don´t get it to work properly on Win 10 and SU 2016 64bit pro. I get a simple section but no materials, no options dialog and if I do a second section it does it like native SU.
None of the other buttons work. It says select Rich Section first, but my section is already selected.
Some help would be appreciated.
thanks
AARRRRRGGH ! So easy, I feel stupid already.
Thanks a lot jaceguay, that was that 
A lot of people must know D.Bur's Align tool, listed and available in the Extension Warehouse. It's quite a useful tool, but it has a big annoying drawback:
Once you use it in a model, little axes icons appear for every group/component at their respective origins and they will stay visible.
I need to know how to turn them off. The only workaround I've found and it's just as annoying, is to copy everything to clipboard and paste in place in a new SU file. And this will work until the Align tool is used again.
Even uninstalling the tool, will leave the axes marks in the model; hiding the axes won't remove them either.
Anyone? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the reply guys.
I actually re-installed SU. I also needed to do some cleanup with the tools and plugins. Yet, this is a great tip. I'll try in the future.
Consider this thread closed. Cheers !!!
Hello there.
SU 2014 Pro
First post for help. I searched the forums but found no topic related, so here it goes:
As of today, when I open the Soften / Smooth Edges dialog, only the slider is present and the box is kind of minimized; I have to drag the bottom border to see the slider, but the real problem is that the "Soften Normals" and "Smooth Coplanar" checkboxes are missing; can't resize the dialog any further.
I tried restarting SU to no avail. Starting as Admin (what difference would it make?) still no game.
Anyone knows about this?
Thanks in advance.
I'm on SU 2013. Still the same problem. Only wireframe mode exports 2d accurately, but then, working my exported sections to delete all hidden lines feels like a deal breaker. Any new light on this issue?
