Just found TIG's post http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=44637#p398226
But it seems there is no solutions. Users can read & write the value, but Ruby can't even read it. Forgotten ?

Hello

About the 'User' file locations. They are defined in Menu/Windows/Preferences/Files and this corresponds to the (Windows) Registry keys HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/File Locations/....

But I can't find a way to retrieve the key value for those File Locations:
Sketchup.read_default("File Locations","Materials") should return “C:/Users/UserName/Documents” but it returns nil.

Is this information protected by the Sketchup API

pgarmyn -

After getting RichSection working again (SEE ABOVE POST), I now only have the #Default Material available to use ….

At creation of the first RichSection, the code will load the default Library in your drawing, wich is by default (if not changed in RichSection/Settings) : materials/RichSection/RS_V0/#default.mat.skp, containing only one material : #default,
The other materials (17 files with skm extension) are copied to the same directory and can be selected in the Materials Window (/RichSection/RS_V0). The ruby code needs write permissions for these directorys. I will have to put some warning message if this is not the case.

For the previous version there were people complaining they didn't asked for all those materials. If you want to load all materials at first RS creation, then replace the value Settings >> RichSection materials to load... : “materials/RichSection/RS_V0/#default.mat.skp” by “materials/RichSection/RS_V0/RS_V0_14.mat.skp”. Do not misspell, the value isn't changed if path/file don't exist. The materials are only loaded if the default material doesn't exist in your model (Settings >> Proposed default RS material). You can rename the default material in your model to reload the material(s) at the next RichSection creation or update. You can always go back to the default values (Plugins>>RichSection>>Reset Settings)

IS THERE SOME MAC-VOLUNTEER TO HELP WITH SOME TESTING

@tt_su
Thanks x 1000, i will correct that this evening, to get it working for Mac.
But it's not the only conflict in my code.
My Mac experience is quite limited, actually zero.
Maybee we must start a Post listing all restrictions and problems in relation to Mac, Windows, ....?

@lcarlin247 said:

It just does not work to me, i create the section but the paremeters do not appear, not even by using the paremeters icon

any advice? i use skp 2013

MAC ore Windows, apparently, ther is a compatibility problem with MAC
If Windows :
Did you creates the section with the most left icon ?
Open the ruby panel. Are ther any error messages ?
If your PC is slow, wait for the creation of the views (do not use the mousebuttons until done).

Can you help me with something? how do I uninstall it. I deleted it but every time I start up the program it gets an error saying it's trying loading the file. Thanks in advance

How did you install. I know there are problems with Mac, but it should work with windows.
The best way is to use de Sketchucation Plugin manager, Witch can install, disable and uninstall plugins.

If you didn't used the Sketchucation plugin manager : delete the file PiGa_RichSection.rb in the Sketchup/plugins directory (optional but not necessary the directory with the same name).

@Bimbachi
Great, this wil perhaps help me to resolve my Mac-problem.
I will work on in now....

Thanks so much.

Glad you like it

@floffy1983
What system (mac/windows) ? what version ?
Please complete your profile. This can help me to find a solution for you?

@Bimbach

Done as advised? What did you do : Uninstalled plugins, other file installed, or both?
RichSection only creats sectionfaces for groups that produce a closed section.

Did you activate the extension in 'preferences' ?
Is there a menu in plugins/RichSection?
Open the ruby panel : what is printed in the ruby-panel?

1. The sectionlines are produced by Sketchup. There is no way to control thickness. An option could be to ad sectionlines with TIG's linestyle (2D Tool). I plan to add dxf export with that capability: Sectionline by layer.
2. A special group is the only solution. The Sketchup Ruby API (programmer interface) doesn't let you controle what to cut.
   Thanks for your interest.

usefull
Thanks

@Garry
You didn't precise: What inputbox?
In case its your Ruby code:
Try to use a longer default value : Use or add spaces at the end.
It could be that you will also have to add a point at the end of the spaces.
