I can see where the error is arising ! In almost all of the API methods passing an argument as a vertex instead of a point is acceptable. There seems to have been a ‘reversion’ in v2019. The `entities.add_text` method expects a ‘string’ and a ‘point’ [there is a 3rd optional ‘vector’]. In @ChrisFullmer 's code he passes the ‘vertices’ of the selected line and arc to some temporary text entities - as if they were ‘points’. This has always worked in earlier versions ! There is a fix… If the file **…/Plugins/clf\_shape\_bender/clf\_shape\_bender\_data.rb** is edited with a plain text editor there are four lines to tweak… Lines# 290, 291 and 302, 303 At the end of those lines add **.position** [so that the vertex position [i.e. a point] is used instead of the vertex itself] So for example: _start\_label = Sketchup.active\_model.entities.add\_text “Start”, @line\_endverts[0]_ becomes _start\_label = Sketchup.active\_model.entities.add\_text “Start”, @line\_endverts[0] **.position** _ Then it should work as before. Perhaps @ChrisFullmer can publish an updated RBZ. Under its quoted: [Smustard - the Companion to Sketchup(TM)](http://www.smustard.com/eula) Modifying it yourself, even for your own use, is disallowed ? I think… so obviously I have not been able to check if my fix works 😉 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.sketchup.com/t/shape-bender-and-su2019/89078)._
