Thanks

No problem.
Just as a side note. I haven’t had this issue with the previous versions of the plugins.
Just reverified and went back to previous version and all worked as expected using 2016 on mac.

Here is what i got you were correct i didn’t get anything the status bar and got the following in the ruby console.
> xt = “Select starting point of stile. Ctrl cycles Mode.”
Sketchup::set_status_text $exStrings.GetString(txt), SB_PROMPT
Error: #<NameError: undefined local variable or method `txt’ for main:Object>
<main>:1:in `<main>’
SketchUp:1:in `eval’

I am testing now on fresh install of 2015 on the mac like Greg suggested still see same behavior.

Ok just to make sure i wasn’t doing something wrong. I setup a vm running windows 7 with fresh install of sketchup 2016. It has never been installed on this vm. I then downloaded the extension from link provided again just like before. Now when i try to open the dialog for editing the cab writer project it throws msg box saying it can’t find the .txt files for rough lumber and sheet goods (wasn’t getting this error when running on mac).

When i go in and create two walls the add construction lines off those walls and try to use story stick i get the same behavior as in the mac. it sets the first point but not the second.

Just wanted to get you some more info to try to find the issue.

Just checking to see if you had found anything that might be causing our issue? Or if its something we were doing wrong?

I am using construction lines just like I did in previous versions.
I am not getting any messages. I can set the first point but it doesn’t let me set the second at all. In previous versions once second point was set then I got the popup to configure stile.
I will let you know if I see error with ruby console open.

Yes i have cleaned out the plugins folder of all associated files. Also shouldn’t make a difference but just for info. I am running latest sketch 2016 on a Mac. I have also tried installing plugin several times too. No joy though.
