Hi,

I have an imac running mac os x 10.5.8 and SketchUp Pro 7 (7.1.6859).

I have unarchived phlatscript and copied -
a) the contents of the unarchived Resources folder into the sketchup Resources folder
b) the unarchived Tools folder to a new folder alongside the sketchup Resources folder.

I loaded up sketchup and went to the extensions and phlatscript was there.

I tried the sketchup help page -
http://sketchup.google.com/download/rubyscripts.html
And copied the contents of the tools folder into the plugins folder.

I loaded up sketchup and went to the extensions and again this was not successful.

Anyone got any ideas about how to proceed?

Hi Neil,

Check out this thread http://www.phlatforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=102&t=1864&p=18331#p18331 and see if it helps.

Hi Tim,

I have read that thread, and tried what was suggested, and had no success.

What confused me in that thread was that they referred to a 'Tools' folder in sketchup - and my version of sketchup had no tools folder. So I just added one in - but still no success.

OK. I am running System 10.4.11 and SketchUp 7.1.4870.

You are saying that you have no /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Tools folder? If that folder is not there, I would recommend uninstalling and reinstalling SketchUp. You might want to even want to re-download it. When I went to put the proper files in their places, the correct folders were there.

Hi,

I deleted sketchup pro and re-installed it. The directory is as follows -
/Contents
> Frameworks
info.plist
> MacOS
> PlugIns
> Resources

There is no Tools folder. Also have looked, and have not found a tools folder further down the directory tree.

Regards,
Neil.

 

Look in this folder:
MacHD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Tools

 

I don't have a mac. But check the 1st picture here. Looks like it shows the folders?

Neil - Did you download the installation file again, and re-install from that file? I had similar weird problems once because the first file I downloaded was incomplete. Download it to a different place than the first one and compare file sizes.

 

Also found this tidbit of info. May help. Works on my skechup Ruby Console Window. You can type in a different folder name to look for, ie tools:

 

This is for a different plugin issue. But if not related, at least another picture of the mac folders. You can go to that link, last page, for high res pictures:

Hi All,

Have managed to get it working!

Here is how I went wrong -
I tried to install phlatscript in the program "applications" folder, instead of the "library/application support" folder.

Thank you to all those who participated in this thread. I appreciate the time you took to help out.

Regards,
Neil.
