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: 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: [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: Upgraded PC but now can't export
@grizzler When you [re]installed SketchUp/Layout did you do it properly.
If not then you can repair it without affecting anything you've got set up.
Close SketchUp/Layout.
Find the SketchUp installer's exe file - usually in your Downloads folder.
Select the exe file's icon, right-click > context-menu > "Run as administrator"
When prompted choose "Repair".
When it completes restart your computer and see is SketchUp/Layout now works as you expect...
Running a complex app's installer's exe file by double-clicking it to 'Run' it is not the same thing, even if you have admin powers. -
RE: Julia Eneroth's Viewport Resizer / SketchUp 2023
I use AutoHotkey for many things and it's easy enough to customize once you come to grips with its foibles...
I don't auto-resize viewports, but Rich knows how, and perhaps he can share his example script, or point you/us to someone else's ? -
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: Extensions No Longer Free
Many of Fredo's extensions now require licenses, as do some other authors' work.
These perpetual licenses are relatively inexpensive [typically $7 to $15 each].
There might also be discounted 'bundle' licenses available, e.g. Fredo's bundle contains 8 of his most popular ones.
https://sketchucation.com/purchase.php?plugin=Fredo6Bundle2022
and costs $40/$24 for premium members.Premium members get considerable % discounts.
You also need to install his help LibeFredo6 [free]
licensed extensions also require the SketchUcation Tools [free] installing which sets up the licensing side of things.This page covers all current licensed SCF extensions...
https://sketchucation.com/plugin-list.phpThis is the general licensing guide...
https://downloads.sketchucation.com/licensing/SCFLicense-Instructions_to_Users.pdfAnd this page lets you manage your own licenses...

RE: Transfer my plugins from SU23 to S24
@errror404
Probably No.If you have SketchUcation tool's ExtensionStore³ you can make a Bundle of the extensions you have in the previous version.
The in the newer version use that Bundle to add/update all of your extensions in that version - using the newest version available.
Unfortunately it only works for extensions you have installed from SketchUcation.Any extensions you got direct from a developer's site need re-downloading and installing individually.
Any extension you got from the Extension Warehouse must be re-downloaded / installed.
Their bulk update is no longer available.SketchUcation ExtensionStore³ also notifies you when updates of your current extensions are available, and lets you install them, individually or in bulk.
You can copy the contents of your Plugins folder from the current to the newer version - however, many developers update their code to suit newer versions, so errors might arise with this method, especially if you haven't update extensions fastidiously.
Don't copy over the su_xxx extensions and folders as these are shipped with each version and you might overwrite a newer version... -
[Plugin] SectionCutFace
Here's an update to v8.0 for future compatibility...
All core functions/settings remain unchanged.

@Anton_S
I use this usuallytb.show if tb.get_last_state.abs == 1 # TB_VISIBLE/NEVER
Has the same result...

RE: [Plugin] PipeAlongPath
TubeAlongPath has been deprecated forever - PipeAlongPath replaces it.
It is 16 years old and expecting a free plugin to be updated is unrealistic.I can't access any of them in your linked RAR file, but I see that ExtrudeAlongPath is 14 years old, and isn't even one of my plugins anymore, having been absorbed into my Extrude Toolset using some other name[s]...
These tools never worked on multiple paths and this late request is unlikely to be fruitful -
-
RE: [Plugin] PipeAlongPath
I can't stop ExtrudeAlongPath being 'mine' - as I wrote it.
However, if you want to fix it then you have my permission to edit it.
Note that it is so old it does not comply with any of the current good coding principles, and even uses some unacceptable $xxx global variables...
That's why it was superseded...And please note that criticizing my newer Extrude Toolset scores you no plus points at all !

RE: [Plugin] PipeAlongPath
I just tested PipeAlongPath and it works fine in 2024 - what's your issue...
Do you have the newest v2.2 - but it is 10 years old !ExtrudeAlongPath - what is that ? It's not part of the current Extrude Toolset and it's not in the PluginStore...

RE: [Plugin] ReGlue
Here's v2.0 in the PluginStore...
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Re_Glue
It now allows multiple pre selected component-instances, but still only one preselected face.
These are glued to the face [is possible], any errors or unsuitable instances are reported in the Ruby Console...
