TIG:
Awesome!
First: I did have sketchup.rb in the plugins.
Second: I moved it to 'tools', but still had the same errors and no ruby console.
Third: I had to uninstall/reinstall SU8pro. I saved the Plugins in a separate place, too, but when I reinstalled, many rubies, including the 'links' worked, that had not. And: the 'Ruby Console' reappeared under windows...I don't know when it disappeared. I ran the code you suggested and have attached the following along with the new errors.
I will reload 'sandboxtools' and 'actloader' as my 'plugins' folder was not destroyed in the uninstall/reinstall and I suspect I screwed up those folders before all of this.
FYI:
Trimble 'does not support ruby script' and did not offer any useful assistance.
Thanks to all at SketchUcation.com .
