Hi,
Avoid having more than one version of a plugin installed at the same time, remove older versions of cloud script, this may cause the problem.
Hope this helps,

Hi again,

1. I removed the oldest versions of the Cloud_xx.rb plugins and
2. left only Cloud_71.rbs in the Plugin folder of Skecthup 7.1.
3. I started Skecthup
4. As it was opened, the File menu included Points Cloud option
5. After this everything was childsplay - all the test files were
   drawn beatifully on the screen. I didn't test the Export-option yet.
6. I repeated the test with Skecthup 8.0.3117 and the result was also good.

This success made me happy and confident to use the plugin for my orginal purpose; to create terrain by using GPS-logger data as input. So many thanks for your help!

Kind regards Erkki Finni

Hi,

How to get Cloud_71.rbs and Cloud_6.rb to work?

My intention is to load elevation data of a terrain collected with the help of a GSP-logger to create a terrain model for a village. I noticed that there is a plugin Cloud_71.rbs in the Ruby Library Depot by Didier Bur. I understand that the plugin accepts elevation data, if it is in the CSV-format described in the pdf of the plugin. I downloaded Cloud_71.rbs in the plugin folder of Sketchup 7.1 (Windows XP Pro).

For some reason the Cloud_71.rbs didn't show up in the Plugin menu or any other menu either after restart of Sketchup 7.1. The older "Clouds" with extension .rb show up, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get them work with the downloaded sample files, although I browsed all the possible SketchUcation discussion forums and also some others for help.

Does anyone know if there is an any easy way to get the Cloud_xx.rb plugins to work? And how to get the Cloud_71.rbs plugin show up and make terrain in Sketchup 7.1 or even in the newer Sketchup 8? I'm convinced that there are ways - I just couldn't find the way.

I'd be grateful for your help.

Kind regards Erkki Finni
