threw out Kaspersky, installed ZoneAlarm
reinstalled TT lib
Kaspersky was a trial version without support, so I could not poke them, sorry
Frank

win7 dutch language
no compatibility files button as far as I can see

only used your installer, did not move any files

Kaspersky might still be the culprit:
all of a sudden it again quarantained the other file

by the way, many thanks for your fabulous plugins

I'm guessing you have Kaspersky installed - and it recently updated?
For some reason the latest update removes the tt_api.so file. You need to tell Kaspersky to leave it alone. And please report the false positive to Kaspersky so they can correct this. The more that reports it the quicker we can hopefully see a fix.
You're not the only one: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=30503&start=60#p432963

indeed, Kapersky, but apparently they have solved the problem:
upon deleting and reinstalling TTlib with your installer, the previous errors disappeared
I checked, the file is in place
and this time no alarm from Kapersky

now I had other error messages:
Error Loading File C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/TT_Vertex/loader.rb
uninitialized constant TT_Vertex

so I deleted TT vertex, and used again your installer to install it again

but the problem stays:
Error Loading File C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/TT_Vertex/loader.rb
uninitialized constant TT_Vertex

Hello Thomthom,
upon my first try, I recieved the following error messages:

Error Loading File tt_bitmap2mesh.rb
no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rbError Loading File tt_cleanup.rb
no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rbError Loading File tt_guide_tools.rb
no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rb

I checked and realised TT_Lib2 was not directly in the plugins folder, but in a subfolder TT_Lib2 2.6.0 (or similar name, I did not write it down)
I moved the TT_Lib2 folder to the plugins folder and erased the TT_Lib2 2.6.0 or similar name, I did not write it down

now I get other error messages:

Error Loading File tt_bitmap2mesh.rb

I have not read all questions and replies, so my questions could already have been answered
could it be possible to have these coordinates correspond with real earth coordinates?
could there be a possibility to switch between drawing (design)coordinates and their exact position on earth?
Frank

excellent tool, but not (yet) working for me:
I cannot find an installation manual
nor a user manual
and where do I put the .csv files?
please help
Frank

many thanks, TIG, for extremely helpful information

it might be that the fact that I copied and not moved the folders is causing the problems

please help

three cheers!

my other plugins work fine

WindowTools.rb
ZLoader__OnSurface.rb
zone.rb

according to that list, all your other plugins aren't working fine..

you're missing the ZLoader files that come with many of fredo's plugins.. the only one you have is tools on surface but i suspect your round corner, curviloft, and fredoscale aren't working either (amongst others?)

[attachment=0:ia8g6goq]<!-- ia0 -->screen 2011-06-25 at 10.54.52 AM.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:ia8g6goq]

I had those and the Fredo plugins did't work then
as a test I removed them as I thought they were redundant
I will have to reinstall
have you seen any files I have to remove?
Frank

@tig said:

Please don't start removing files willy-nilly.
Only the the files inside the subfolders that have equivalents wrongly installed in Plugins are to be removed - it's recommended that these put into a 'disabled folder' [erasing them is a little drastic - especially when you are not sure what you are doing - at least that way they can be moved back if you've messed up !]. There will also be .rb files in Plugins installed by other tools that you still need! AND of course there are .rb files installed as 'loaders' to run files inside subfolders that come in the zip file 'loose' rather than in a subfolder of Plugins...

If you are getting similar error messages then are you sure the files and files in relative subfolders are installed properly. I noticed that you have a drive with an unusual path - H:/programmas/google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/ - the default is something like C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/
Please type this in the Ruby Console + <enter> and post the results $LOAD_PATH
It should include your H: folder Plugins path.
With Vista/Win7 there can be a 'Compatibility Files' issue [¿Archivos de Compatibilidad?]... which happens if you don't have full security permissions to read/write/etc to the the Plugins folder and/or its subfolders and/or files. It looks like you have done it OK, and there are no error messages... but really the OS has put the new things in a separate subfolder to protect you from yourself! In these cases there's a 'Compatibility Files' button added to the top of the window of the affect folder[s] - you click on that to see what's messed up... Fix your permissions under properties, security as an admin...

Can you post a screen-shot showing your Plugins folder structure etc if none of this is working...

I have installed Sketchup 8 pro on an external disk so I can easily take it with me
my other plugins work fine

? Only the the files inside the subfolders that have equivalents wrongly installed in Plugins are to be removed ?
would it not be the other way round?
I removed the equivalents in the plugins folder and left the ones in the subfolders

Sounds like you haven't got all of the files installed in the right places ?
Please reread the installation instructions.
Also see this thread for help on extracting zipped files and keeping their subfolder structure with Plugins etc http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=35746
Also if you have inadvertently put files directly into Plugins that ought to be within a subfolder, then please remove them as they might cause unexpected results as they will then auto-load at startup rather than when the main tool wants them to...

I have reinstalled everything as per the instructions
then ran duplicate cleaner 2.0 to find any .rb leftovers from the previous installation directly into plugins folder and erased them

the problem remains

should I be looking for other files than with the .rb extension and erase these duplicates too?

Frank
