I figured it out by downloading the full ruby install, so I could learn and use Ruby outside of SU (and follow existing tutorials), and after seeing what it expanded to, it was obvious that the full install doesn't come with SketchUp.

yes, doesn't it say coming soon on their website?

Yea, this model could be SU4 or SU5 originally. The one I opened was SU6. Problem is, resaving doesn't work. The bug follows the model. But I need to use that model. I got around it though by making a script that found the missing materials, and made fresh new copies of the materials, then iterate over the model and replace the old buggy materials with the new ones. That preserves the UV mapping that was done. I guess this is one of the one timers kind-of bug. I did have problems with the same model earlier. Due to the network paths. But only when I had V-Ray installed. V-Ray would try to access the original bitmap, but the path doesn't exist any more. So everything I did anything in SU, it'd freeze for 30secs. I sorted it by writing a script that'd export all textures of networked materials and reload them from a local path. Though, at that time I didn't notice I was missing some textures. weird stuff. and I'm stuck with this model. ghnngh

Yea, it'd be a simple loop. Just wasn't sure if there was a plugin out there already. If not I'll add one to my selection plugin. Found the use for it today when I imported a revit model using the DWG format. There's no material applied so I have to add that manually. But I noticed that similar element had the same name prefix followed by a number. So I figured I could greatly speed up the process of adding materials by doing a regex selection.

Yep. Iterative method can save time compared with the recursive method... But recursing is much more beautiful !!

Yes, view.invalidate is designed to work with Tools.

Since you are getting it when right clicking on a axis, then the failing code is most assuredly a proc for displaying a right click context menu for a script. You can narrow your search down to any scripts you have that generate context menu selections.

errh... The what what? ... ...can't believe I didn't notice those methods...

The load vray for sketchup button of this plugin does not work with vray 3.4 for sketchup. Any fix for this?

A real time viewer wouldn't be utterly useless. Rather interesting idea. Saves you from having to reload the file if you use it for reference and someone is currently working on it. Haven't tried what happens if a file is opened with the viewer. I find it highly unlikely that anyone will use it...

Turns out, I think I need to write the texture to disk. The only reason it seemed to work to just take the original filename with the path and assign just the filename was because SU's last file dialog location pointed to where the original texture was. TextureWriter object is the only one that allows me to save out a texture? It doesn't take a Material object as an argument, so would I have to create a temporary object, like a group, assign it the material, export using TextureWriter, then delete dummy object? ...seems messy to me... any better solutions?

I did the workaround mentioned in this thread: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=14774 And I now get the Generate Report on this machine as well.

@thomthom said: Can anyone elaborate ... Suppose you have 3 points (p1, p2, p3) and want a point (p4) "normal" to p1. The 3 points define the PLANE and also 2 vectors with origin in p1. If you make a CROSS PRODUCT between those 2 vectors, you will get a 3rd vector that is NORMAL to the PLANE and passing on p1. If you offset p1 using this new vector ... voila! Example: p1 = Geom::Point3d.new(1,2,3) (can be any 3d point, non hard coded) p2 = Geom::Point3d.new(4,5,6) p3 = Geom::Point3d.new(7,8,9) v1=p2-p1 or v1=p1.vector_to(p2) v2=p3-p1 or v2=p1.vector_to(p3) p4 = p1.offset(v1v2) or p4 = p1.offset((p2-p1)(p3-p1)) Regards Marcio

Just wanted to add that it was deletecoplanaredges.rb that did it for me as well. Fixed now.

@thomthom said in [Plugin] Selection Toys: Hello ThomThom, I would like to report a possible compatibility issue with the Selection Toys plugin when using SketchUp 2026. After updating to SketchUp 2026, Selection Toys no longer behaves as expected. In my case (and according to other user reports), the plugin causes problems related to the interface and toolbars, such as tools not appearing correctly or toolbar customization not working properly. When Selection Toys is disabled or removed, SketchUp 2026 appears to function normally again. This issue seems to be related to changes introduced in SketchUp 2026 rather than a specific workflow error, as the plugin works correctly in previous versions. I wanted to bring this to your attention in case it helps with investigation or future updates. Thank you very much for your work and for maintaining such an essential extension for the SketchUp community.
