You have omitted some code and added in other unneeded code.
Try:
` # Load the normal support files.
require 'sketchup.rb'
require 'extensions.rb'

Create the extension.

ext = SketchupExtension.new('pluginName', File.join('pluginFolder', 'pluginLoader.rb'))

# Optionally 'name' the Extension - it can differ from the registered name.
ext.name = 'pluginName'

Attach some nice info.

ext.creator = 'xxxxx'
ext.version = '1.0.0'
ext.copyright = '2016, xxxxxxxx'
ext.description = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

# This 'path' is NOT needed.
ext.extension_path=File.join(File.dirname(FILE), "pluginFolder" )

Register and load the extension on startup.

Sketchup.register_extension(ext, true)`

Add in the bold code and remove the struck-through code...

Wow! This is awesome! It works!

Thanks a lot.
I almost gave up!
Good to know, that there are real experts in this forum who are willing to help.

Thanks again.

Many Thanks,
this works, I really appreciate your help!
I feel ashamed as I should have found the solution by myself. I will try to work harder on my Sketchup/Ruby knowledge, but I will never become an expert as you are.

Great, glad I could help.

Just published the API in the main TopoShaper thread.

Documentation is attached in the main post.

I think you need to use another thread for the WinForm windows, e.g MessageBox. I checked the following code. It works. It actually makes more sense to let the WinForm window in a separate thread other than the Sketchup's thread.

Imports System.Windows.Forms Public Class MyFunctions Private Sub showMessage(ByVal msg As String) MessageBox.Show(msg) End Sub Public Function AddMyValues() Dim Result As Double Result = 20 Dim t1 As New Threading.Thread(AddressOf showMessage) t1.Start(Result) Return Result End Function End Class

Hi John,
many thanks for your quick reply.

It was really helpful. I am now using the command line of winzip in my Powershell script, as you have proposed. The generated RBZ file is now working on my MAC also.

Thanks a lot for your help.
