Probably the way those who disagree with the powerful seem to 'accidentally' fall from high windows more frequently than you'd expect ?

The following extensions of mine have been updated for compatibility with v2024 Ruby - the deprecated Fixnum has been removed.
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=ExtrudeTools - v6.0
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Latticeizer - v1.9
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Roof - v6.0
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=SKMtools - v20240425
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_Smart_offset - v4.0

Welcome back to the forum, safely I hope for you and yours...

v5.0 of PurgeAll is available - it fixes some minor glitches with v2024 changes...

The reason the toolbar appears is, because there are updates available - hence the red marker on the first button - not present otherwise.
If you open the ExtensionStore dialog and choose to install the updates, then close the toolbar, when you restart SketchUp the toolbar stays off, until you next activate it.
If you don't want the updates simply dock the toolbar in the side bar with others, it's unobtrusive...

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…

@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...

Use the Outliner.
You can then expanded the 'tree' and select the nested Container, and double-click it in the Outliner to edit it that way.

v5 is now available in the PluginStore / ExtensionStore³
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Multiple_Offsets
It's now compatible with the newer SketchUp version's Ruby methods [e.g. 'FixNum' was deprecated in favor of 'Integer']
The RBZ is now also 'signed' to suit all Loading Policies...

Following my post about setting up your model's shadows for date/time-stamping and export, I had assumed the first steps to be self-evident - but for the avoidance of doubt...
Your model needs to be Geo-located to show correct shadows - because the UTC Time-Zone and its actual location are both important.
Use the Model Info section for this.
For example, the shadows at 08.00 in Southern England and in Northern Scotland are quite different despite them sharing a Time-Zone.
Also the model's default 'North' is the Y Green axis, but there might be an offset shown orange in the results. Make sure the Z Blue axis is 'up'.
If you have modeled the building 'on axis' but have a building that is in reality 'off axis', you can resolve this by making a group of everything, and then rotating that group to suit the actual North, when you edit that group its axes with it will still align as before; any further modeling within that group will also remain 'on axis' for your building, whilst it is actually placed in the world correctly.
The model's Shadow settings should now reflect its Geo-location.
Alternatively of older versions, if you want to adjust the 'north solar axis' manually, then there's a su_ tool available in the EWH - https://extensions.sketchup.com/extension/393f5153-ba5f-4f5f-849f-46b32cf64bd4/solar-north
I have Geo-location set up on my usual Template for my regional location, set manually using the Model Info dialog's section.
You can set up templates for various locations if you work in several different areas.

@omni
What software do you mean ?

Have you got the latest versions of the extensions and SketchUcation toolset ? This is needed to manage the licenses effectively.
Have you tried the forums 'My Licenses' page in the PluginStore, or perhaps easier to use, the page accessed from the ExtensionStore dialog's 'Quick Menu' called 'Licenses' both of which let you manage your licenses Release/Activate etc...

Following on from the previous 'usage' post, I've been asked about how you can export a Scene-tab containing the actual shadow reported with its area and %.
My other tool TIG_ShadowProjector will do this.
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_shadowProjector
Read its thread for usage notes and guidance.
You need to set up a Plan [or Plan-like] view and model any building volumes simply to avoid excessive checking of objects that are ultimately found not to project meaningful shadows - e.g. internal floors, partitions and fittings, then faces for the neighboring land.
Select the face[s] to receive the shadows... Run the tool and choose the options.
The projected shadow can be represented in various ways -
probably the best for your purposes is the 'Faces[Edged]%-sq' - it draws each shadow as a 'gray' face, with edges visible, and with a text-label at its center of the 'Shadow' group showing the % and area [uses the current model's area units - sq' or sqm] of that face that's shaded at that date/time.

Some of you have asked how best to use TIG_ShowTime.

Here's some outline guidance based on the UK Planning Authorities' Rules - but other countries should have similar requirements.

If your proposed building overshadows its neighbors [particularly public amenity space] then no more than 50% of its surface area can be in shadow at any time, between 08.00 and 18.00 hours on 21st March. Some authorities also ask for studies for 21st June [summer] and occasionally 21st December [winter].

Adjust your model's Tags to show only your relevant building's massing and any adjacent structures' volumes and of course relevant ground plane faces etc.
Select a camera view that best shows your building any adjacent properties that might be affected.
Switch on Shadows so you can see the affects.
Add this tool's Screen-Text time-stamp using 'On' - e.g.' 21 March 08.00' at the bottom-left corner of the screen, with a 0 second delay.
Now set up Scene tabs for the 11 times [8.00..18.00], with each tab probably using the same view, although you could change the view in some Scene tabs to show relevant shadows better at critical times.
Rename each Scene tab to represent the time-stamp, e.g. 08.00, 09.00.. 18.00.
For each Scene tab in turn set its Shadow properties to the desired date [e.g. 21st March] and the relevant time [e.g 08.00], then Update that Scene tab to fix those values to it.
Open the View > Animation > Settings dialog - typically set Enabled scene transitions, at 3 second, with 0 second delay.
Choose View > Animation > Play > to see the effect.
When you are satisfied with the results you'll want to save the model and then export some data.
Open the first Scene tab in the set.
For an animated movie use use File > Export > Animation
MP4, select the Options you want - typically 30 fps, 720p HD, etc.
By default the output is saved into your model's folder, using the model's name.

You can also use the File > Export > 2d Graphic, and choose PNG etc if desired, as appropriate adjust its Options in the dialog.
Manually choose a file-name to reflect the Scene tab's name e.g. 08.00.png - otherwise it defaults to use the model-name.png.
It is recommended that you use a separate subfolder for these PNG files to avoid cluttering the model's folder.
However, Version 1.2 of the TIG_ShowTime tool has a new 'Export PNGs' option in its submenu to save each Scene tab to a PNG file, into a chosen folder.
The PNGs are named after the Scene-tab name etc, see the Help section for full details.

v1.2 is now released.
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_ShowTime
It includes a new tool on the submenu > Export PNGs to save images of each Scene-tab named after the tab.
Full details are covered in the Help dialog.

v1.1 is now released.
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_ShowTime
It's recoded to sidestep unpredictable bugsplats from undo-stack errors during animation exports. Improved Help content etc...

The B errors relate to license file issues.
Rich will comment in detail.
Have you copied the .license files over to your new PC ?
Have you tried activating the license [green button] ?
Have you logged in and checked your used licenses under the SketchUcation.. PluginStore > My Licenses page ?

@Rich-O-Brien
Not without a complicated HTMLdialog.
But I think the Help is only necessary when you first set it up
Thereafter you'll use the same settings, most of the time.
It's no hardship to note down the format and screen X & Y if you vary from the built-in default.
You can even edit the defaults in the RB file if you want to start off differently - but this will break the signing.
The On defaults are what you'll typically want anyway.
You only need to add a piece of screen-text once as it updates as you change to another scene-tab with a different date/time.
Used in animations etc...
