no it isn't in there

 

Then it's not installed correctly. The Resource and Tools folders should overwrite the corresponding folders in the Sketchup folder, if you are using the zip files. What os?

 

I have windows 7 I just uninstalled sketchup and manually cleaned it all up restarted then reinstalled then restarted again now I don't want to go any further without knowing what I am doing I watched the video and did what it said unless I missed something. LOL

 

ok I have got it in there had to do the manual install now to just do my homework and figure it all out.

Thank You

 

I just explained how to install it with the zip file. Why don't you give the exe installer a try? I assume that should be full proof, although I have never installed that way.

[edit]

 

The installer didn't work the zip file way worked

 

OK guyz...maybe I am just blind..but I just output my first cut file with V.0924, and I noticed G61 isn't in the *.CNC file. I had to add it manually.

I read the release notes, specifically:

- added G61 Exact Stop Gcode option (change "$use_exact_path" value in Constants.rb)

and when I look thru the "Constants.rb" file, I don't see "$use_exact_path" to change the value...

What am I missing? Do I need to add that line and set it equal to "True" to get G61 included in my *.CNC files?

Thanks,

Mark..I don't know how I missed that...Geez...Course, using notepad++ made it allot easier to find!

Hi there. I'm trying to test .924 script but I can't change any parameters. All I get is empty window with edit boxes. Even OK and Cancel buttons are not working. But I think that other tools are working. I use SU8 on Win7 Ultimate.

I can't think of anything, but I am still using winxp. There is a compatible dialog box that you can use until you figure it out, which is an input box instead of a web dialog.

Type "$use_compatible_dialogs = true" into the ruby console to try it out temporarily. If you want it permanent, then make the change at the bottom of the Constants.rb file, where it saids "PhlatScript Features"

Oh, I did think of one thing. Try running the parameters tool with the ruby console open and see if there are any error messages displayed.

 

Hi everyone,
I am brand new to this forum plus I know little about computers. I downloaded SU8 and it seems to work fine. I then downloaded "PhlatScript" as a plug-in and unzipped it.

How do I get the plug-in into SU8?

Thank you Shaun for your assistance.
I did as you suggested but could not get the video to load....so I went to my windows explorer and found the unzipped file for "phlatscript". I moved a copy to the "plug ins" file of Sketch up. I then opened sketch up and could not find phlatscript any where. Does it make a difference if I have the Free version of Sketchup?

John

 

John, the unzipped files go in sketchup's main folder, not the plugin folder. That should be the "Google SketchUp 8" folder, since you are using SU8.

btw, another tip is you can download that video. There is a link there. I have trouble with the video not loading in the player, also.

Hey Guys...thanks a million for all your help. I just got things working in Sketchup, produced a G-Code as a test and it worked I think. I have not figured out how to get the tool icons to show up on the tools pain in sketch up yet but I can get to them by clicking tools tab and then going to Phlatboyz tab then picking the tool.

You probably just need to turn on the toolbar: View > Toolbars > Phlatboyz

 

KYYU;
As I don't know your real name ... I just wanted to say thank you for your assistance. It was just that simple, I turned "on" the tool bar and poof there it was. Do I feel silly???
Thank you again. I have a big old Zerox 5818 photo copier that I keep thinkin I should take parts out of to create a CNC of some sort. It's been just a dream for a long time. I am slowly learning stuff by lurking in forums. I am a professional picture framer and fine art broker so I haven't had much to contribute to these forums. You folks are always so helpful and that impresses me. Thank you again, John
