Hello,

I have a problem trying to install an extension. I get this error:

Can someone help me solve this? I really don’t know how to get it work.
I have Windows 10 and using SketchUp 2016.

Hopefully someone can help me with this one!

Regards,

Koen

Have you got the very latest version ? [v0.1.21]

A ‘UTF-8’ error usually means the RB file is not compatible with the newer version of Ruby used by the newer versions of SketchUp.
If you have edited any of the RB files this might have changed its encoding if saved ?
All of the RB files in my version seem to be encoded correctly [UTF-8 [without BOM]]
Use Notepad++ and make sure the encoding is correctly set.
Also the error you give at line #88 bears no resemblance to my files, so perhaps you have an out of date copy ?
Although line #96 does oddly says “Bézier” when perhaps “BĂ©zier” would be better ?
