Feeling very frustrated. I’m trying out SketchUp 2015 Make. I have lots of plugins that I rely on with SketchUp 8 Pro. Seems like many of them don’t work. The first 3 I tried didn’t work: Layer Manager, by D. Bur Add Hidden Layer: very handy when you have a lot of views and add a layer and don…

go to the SketchUcation Plugin Store and download version updated for v2015… many v8 plugins will not work, they use a different version of Ruby… john

I suspect you simply copied the plugin files from SU 8 to SU 2015 instead of downloading and installing fresh copies? SketchUp moved up from Ruby 1.8 to Ruby 2.0 as of SketchUp 2014. This causes many old plugins to fail until they are revised by their authors. I know most of the ones you list hav…

Thanks for the reply. I wasn’t 100% accurate in what I wrote. · I downloaded Layer Manager from Extension Warehouse, which said it wasn’t validated for 2015. The toolbars seem to be there but the menu selection (e.g. Tools>Layer Manager>All Layers Invisible) isn’t there. · Add Hi…

You cannot use Layer Manager from the extension warehouse. It is not compatible with SU15 (glance over at the right sidebar on its Warehouse page.) Get it from SketchUcation. TIG updated it there. As Dan explained, There was a notable Ruby update, going from 1.8 to 2.0, back with SU14. Many old p…

Thanks again. (BTW Layer Manager is from Didier Bur). The updated version works beautifully. Do you have any suggestions for importing KML or KMZ files? I had KML_Tools which did this but doesn’t work in SketchUp 8 and File>Import>KMZ failed on my KMZ file.

I know Layer Manager is from Didier, but it looks like TIG updated several of his plugins to 2014/2015 compatibilty. The same compatibility issue is occurring with KML_Tools. Keep an older version of SU installed to run older plugins then save a skp to open in SU15 until the plugin is updated. KM…
