Sketchup 2014 BUG (not in SU2013 and SU8)
Textures are not displayed with face style set to 'Shaded with textures'
if the first textered materials are applied by a plugin.
They show up after toggling the face style to 'Shaded' and again to 'Shaded with textures'

As I mentioned before, I´ve got a mac available to test your plugin. .....

I will send you the next pre-release. Probably this weekend.
Thanks.

Not sure...
I think on MAC >v8 it's in the User's Lib path... so it ought to be writable...
File.writable?(Sketchup.find_support_file('Materials'))
But on WIN if it's the SketchUp folder subfolder it will have limited permissions by default

Santiago (Caronte01) tested my plugin (RichSection) on mac+SU2014.
I used Sketchup.find_support_file('Materials') to get the user Lib path for MAC.
It returned '/Applications/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp.app/Contents/Resources/Content/Materials'
I tried to fileutils.cp_r to this path and got : #<Errno::EACCES: Permission denied
(i did check the existence of the directory before cp_r : FileUtils.mkdir_p(dir) unless File.exist?(dir))

According to Jeff Hammond's post (Re: trying to add material collection OSX Mavericks) the User's Lib path for materials should be (?):
(user)~/Library/Application Support/SketchUp201X/SketchUp/Materials

For the Sketchup team : It can be useful to have a API method (for WIN and MAC) to retrieve the path for USER data : Sketchup.find_user_file('Materials')

I was about to check the models TIG worked with and got the same EXPIRED DEMO message.

.....Can you set via ruby scenes to not generate scene thumbnails? Currently, all scenes created with rs have this set to yes. It is not to useful, and slows down scene creation/editing in large models.

This is set per scene, not globally.

Thumbnails : http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15%26amp;t=31349#p275878
Can only be switched off for the model, not for one scene.

I hope to send you the next RichSection version for testing this weekend.

@jiminy-billy-bob said:

By devs, certainly! But I don't think regular users will download this.
(Well, they will, but embedded in other plugins)

That's why it has to be on the plugin store as a library, and (automatically ?) loaded (by dependency)

@chooyod said:

Hi Pgarmyn,
An error occurred in present version V0.3.1 as shown below. Thus could not find the RichSection tool as well.

Please make any suggestions.
Thank you.

Please complete your profile : MAC or WINDOWS ?
MAC : not compatible yet.

You also have an error on Loading ExtrudeTools.rb >>Permission denied
ExtrudeTools.rb is not part of my Plugin, i think it is TIG's

Did you restart Sketchup after the update ?
I suggest to

• Un-install the RichSection plugin manually (Sketchucation Tools only renames the loader): go to de plugin directory and delete PiGa_RichSection.rb (or extensions .rb! .rbx) and folder PiGa_RichSection; for older versions :delete RichSection_loader.rb (or extensions .rb! .rbx) and folder RichSection;
• restart Sketchup
• Re-instal RichSection using Plugin Store & Sketchucation Tools
• close and restart Sketchup

@caronte01 said:

Perfect. It can be solved. So cut, and then paste in place will force a redraw.... Great! Thanks

Correction : i did Copy + Past in place
Double geometry will be 'unified' >> geometry will be redefined

@caronte01

• Different scenes with same style : is on my 'todo' list, but ruby 2.0 / SU2014 came inbeween.
  To change the scene style and purge the unused styles :
  Activate scene 001; In the scene panel : select multiple scenes : 001, 002, 003...;
  Update : in the options unselect everyting except 'style'; Section plan visibility, cut color, cut line width are in the scene style.
  they will be the same.
  Do the same for 001_,002_, .... .
• 1 scene : this option is in the settings : [highlight=#ffffbf:hjq3xewl]Menu/Plugins/RichSection/Settings[/highlight:hjq3xewl]
  
• renaming : bug
• no section face for some elements: can you send me a file or part of your file ? (Post can be privat, i will only use your file for debugging)>> see my post on 25 Mar 2014 23:39, below
  Thanks for reporting.

@caronte01 said:

...., some of the cut geometry will not create a face....

This is the first time i see a solid not producing a section face in RichSection.
It's not a matter of complexity. Even when i copy the solid group in an empty model it doesn't want to produce a horizontal cut. The solid group is part of a component. In 2 of the 3 instances it produces a section-cut.
The only way to correct : redefine de geometry:
-you can redraw
-faster (tested on SU 2013 and SU2014: open the group (or component) containing only edges and faces (use Menu/Component edit/Hide rest of model +Hide similar); Select all edges and faces ; copy ; past in place ; close the nested groups & components >> Sketchup will redefine (simplify) all faces and edges ; update de RichSection.

@caronte01 said:

....and could not find it?...

I'v put a picture of the 'RichSection Setting' panel in my previous post.
Update your plugin if you don't have those settings in Menu/plugin/RichSection/settings

@krisidious said:

pgarmyn says that mine are warnings and that my plugin is being loaded twice. I used plugin store to install and used the standard plugins location. any ideas?

YES/No. Errors in your first post (above)
Warnings after loading manually by the command 'load ....' (private post)

Try again this :

• In Menu Windows/preferences/extensions by shure to have activated the plugin
• If not, do so.
  If still no Panel or Menu (plugin/RichSection) is visible :
• Disable the plugin in Sketchucation Plugins Manager (I wrote deactivate, wich was wrong)
• Open The Ruby console and type (correction .rb! and not .rb ) + return key
  load 'PiGa_RichSection.rb!'
  Copy and post the output in the Ruby console
  Thanks

@Bob, @TIG
Thanks for the information. Yes i read about the RBS - find_support_file issue.
Just forgot about it, since i only use 'standard' file locations.
I will put a note in 'known issues' and update the plugin.

@Krisidious
Strange, it works for me with SU 8, 2013 and 2014.
Maybee a conflict with another plugin. Can you test by unloading other plugins?
If that didn't work :
I need more information : can you ...

• deactivate the plugin, restart Sketchup
• open the ruby console and type :
  load 'PiGa_RichSection.rb'
• Copy and send me the output.
  Thanks

@Caronte01
Thanks for testing on Mac. So it works on Mac

RichSection has been updated for Sketchup 2014
See first post:
http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=55072#p499865

@TIG @Caronte01
I'm actually working on RichSection for SU-2014....

@TIG

Thanks TIG.
On Mac : is Sketchup.find_support_file('Materials') writable ?

Work around for SU 2014 :

require 'win32/registry'
defaultFileDir = Win32;;Registry;;HKEY_CURRENT_USER.open 'Software\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\File Locations', Win32;;Registry;;KEY_READ
defaultFileDir_materials=defaultFileDir["Materials"]
defaultFileDir.close
puts defaultFileDir_materials ##  output= C;\Users\P\Documents\ 

And for SU-8 or SU-2013 ?
