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 .

SU8 errors.pdf

Gee:

Just not my day...

I get this error message now (deleted: 000_AdditionalPluginFolders.rb) but that didn't seem to help.

In my preferences, I can see the Plugin Loader under extensions, and I have installed in the rbz and the zip...I think I know what I am doing as some of my previous rubies load...

Help!

Hmmm.

SU Pro V8.0.15158 - ASUS - Windows 7 - Core i7 - NVIDIA Geforce GTX - Chrome

I have spent the afternoon trying to get this to work in all the various forms (english and french). I get this over and over:

Message from 000_AdditionalPluginFolders

1 ERROR(S): The following plugins had errors and may not be fully loaded:

PLUGIN: sulinks.rb
Folder:/program files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins
ERROR: undefined method 'file_loaded?' for main:Object

Really, Really, want to do links in SU.

Sonder & Bmike confirm what I have suspected since I discovered SU about 5 years ago...it's way better than anything else cad/3d like.

Layout is great for getting the SU model into formats that others can access...my hope is that SKP format becomes as popular as PDF.

I think the real key is to quit thinking about construction documents in the same-old 2d way.

While I don't do the same sort of architecture as Sonder and Bmike, I have used SU for everything from idea sketches, home remodel and additions to retail stores and multiple acre commercial site design. My peers are always trying to convert a SU model to something else: ACAD, 3dCivil, GIS, Inventor, Microstation...I always ask why: The model has it all in it and that was how I started the design in the first place.

I think of SU like Legos or Blocks or even additive/subtractive 'magic' clay with a cute girl to give it scale. I hardly even 'sketch' now, and I taught perspective Drawing in Architecture School!

I think there are too many who are in 'love' with CD's to see what is really happening: we are trying to convey a model solution to a fabricator in the field...if they can visualize it too, maybe we don't need so much annotation...you know: a picture says a thousands words (and probably as many dimensions).

Architects are romantically associated with the 'sketch' on the napkin. IF WE COULD "SKETCH" ON OUR ANDROID TABLET OR PHONE the napkin would now be an obstacle to moving forward with collaboration of an idea.

It still appears as though SU is not a possibility on a Verizon Android Incredible 2 device?

My latest experiment was with AutoDesk WS: I can get a wireframe of my SU model, but that's it.

Surely there is a way to present a full SU model on an Android device? (ROFL)
