RE: [Plugin] ClothWorks v1.8.0 - 28 Apr 2024
@sashapepperspray
The method File.exists? has long been deprecated, but worked.
In the latest Ruby version it doesn’t - File.exist? - works in v2024 and older versions as well.
Many developers are working to adjust their code accordingly.Have patience and post any instances in an affected extension's thread - as there are 100s of 1000s of line of code with the tiniest corrections needing to be found and change, then the extension re-encrypted and signed…
Many authors have already fixed their extensions, so look regularly to see if there’s already an update available…

RE: [Plugin] SectionCutFace
@Joel3dm
Yes.
Make the non-auto-updating SectionCutFace unLocked and choose a material/color that's already used in the model [from a list].
A SCF's material applies to all faces, but you can edit the group and apply any material to any face etc... -
RE: C SDK save in 2022 or 2023 formats
@Gábor
The issue is more widespread than this.
If you have a v2023 file and attempt to load a SKP component that's v2024 it will fail 'silently'.
Also trying to open a v2024 SKP from within v2023 also fails the same way.
If you manually open a v2024 using v2023 an message pops up about it being from a newer version, but you can skip and continue...So any code which takes an exported v2023 component, manipulates it via the C SDK and returns it as a v2024 file is doomed to fail as explained above...
Perhaps the only way is to spot the version of the 'parent' SKP and its exported component, and use a suitable C SDK file to process it back into the compatible v2024 format ?
For backwards compatibility it'll need to cover v2023, v2022, v2021 and v2020 files because the 'versionless' v2024 format breaks those [perhaps using v2020 format for all exports would work in all newer versions ?] - more testing with any upcoming v2025 might reveal further issues...

RE: Automotive render by Diffusion.
AI forgot the doors !
Otherwise it's pretty good... -
RE: [Plugin] Roof.rb
The SKP you provided has 2 roof faces at z>0 [faces at z0 don't work].
These 2 are identical in edge sizes and orientations/direction.
The one on the right takes a hipped roof OK, but the one on the left fails with an error message.
This is weird.
However, if you follow the advice in the error message on that problem face. and erase one edge and remake t the new face will also take a hipped roof OK.
Something in your model's database is skewed.
But it is fixable... -
RE: SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation
@unknownuser said:
I can't validate the round corner license, in the extension box the error says communication failed with sketchucation
See the previous reply about why this might happen...
And how to fix it... -
RE: PFAS chemical exposure (Heads up)
Liam, get as well as you can soon...
Reminded me of this dickwad
Thomas Midgley Jr. has been named a “one-man environmental disaster” for two big reasons. He was one of the early pioneers of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) – compounds that became widely used in industry – and which were destroying the ozone layer. He also invented leaded gasoline and insisted that it was safe to use.
Perhaps there is a god, because after that he got polio and was partially paralyzed, he invented a pulley contraction on his bed to move him, but one day he became entangled in it and was strangled !

RE: Purge is crashing SU2024
You should go to the PluginStore and update to the SketchUcation toolset v4.4.0 which has been specially reworked for v2024 compatibility. If deals with the SCF licensing for many extensions.
If you use any of Fredo's extensions, he has also updated them all for v2024 use and don't forget his latest LibFredo too...
After installing these restart SketchUp to sync everything...

RE: [Plugin] Shape Bender Beta
When you say 'not accepting it on download' it is unclear.
Have you installed it using the Extensions > Extension Manager ?
If so restart SketchUp and it should appear in the Toolbars list and under the Extensions submenu 'Chris Fullmer Tools'.
It is an older extension and is unsigned.
This means that SketchUp will not load it unless the Extension Manager's Loading Policy is set to 'Unrestricted'.
After resetting that you need to restart SketchUp to sync everything... -
RE: [Plugin] Purge All
It doesn't use the simplae SUp UI.inputbox method, it uses TT's own HTMLdialog to make the interface.

RE: [Plugin] Purge All
@rv1974
It can't be non-modal because it uses the UI.inputbox which is always modal.
Thre has to be a way of closing the window - in this case it's OK or Cancel... -
RE: [plugin] Fixed Area
It might be a relatively easy edit to fix it.
But the Ruby Console errors are needed... -
RE: [plugin] Fixed Area
The author no longer supports any of his extensions.
This one is almost 14 years old !
Are you sure you are following the directions ?
With the Ruby Console open, before using it, do you see any messages ? -
RE: Seamless tiling
The joints need to be whole or a half [or zero]. At the moment the short lengths of joint don't add up to a whole joint, hence the oddity when the texture repeats.

RE: [Plugin] Triangulate Points
Version 2.0 is available from the PluginsStore.
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_points_cloud_triangulation
It fixes issues with delauney3.rb using Constants in away that newer SketchUp versions Ruby chokes on, t also includes some tweaks of the main code - Layers v. Tags etc, and the RBZ is now signed... -
RE: [Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v15.3c - 17 Apr 25
@gkont1983
How have you tried to install Libredo6 ?
The two ways are:
Download its RBZ from the PluginStore, then use the Extension manager to Install it. After that restart SketchUp to sync everything.
Or use the SketchUcation toolset ExtensionStore dialog to find it, click to auto-install it - sidestepping the RBZ download. After that restart SketchUp to sync everything.
You need the SketchUcation toolset installed for the SCF licensing etc - especially of many of Fredo's extensions.
So I recommend you download its RBZ from the PluginStore, then use the Extension manager to Install it. After that restart SketchUp to sync everything.
After that always use the ExtensionStore dialog to install future extensions - it's vital for licensing, but it offers lots of other perks too... -
RE: [Plugin] 3D Text Editor
I suspect you need to reinstall this extension [and perhaps some others?]
Extensions don't automatically 'port' over from an earlier version of SketchUp when you install a newer one -
although v2025 does have a new extension to let you do that -
but it's not 100% foolproof, and reinstalling them manually does let you do some tidying up and housekeeping, to keep your extensions 'lean-and-mean'... -
RE: [Plugin] SectionCutFace
Please read its usage notes.
You must have just one section-plane selected.
The right-click menu then offers you the tool with options as appropriate.
It does not appear in any other menus or have a toolbar...
You need to read its usage notes to understand how it works and to get the results that suit you...
