Apparent problem with Sketchup 2023

Hi Jan, I just installed SU 2023 - and at startup, I get this "Error Loading File C:/Users/VIVARCHI/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2023/SketchUp/Plugins/bt_ifcmanager/loader.rb

I wonder if you have any idea what the issues is ?
Best regards,

I think as a temporary solution you can install the rexml gem.

ruby console: "gem install rexml"

I don't have the problem myself currently, I will try on another PC...

Thanks Jan, I'll try that on the offending machine ! All the best, Patrick Thomas architecte dplg *T: +33(0)610045410* http://www.vivarchi.f <http://www.vivarchi.fr>r

Just to be precise, I downloaded rexml.rb & its rexml folder & they are both in the plugins folder for SU23... Patrick Thomas architecte dplg *T: +33(0)610045410* http://www.vivarchi.f <http://www.vivarchi.fr>r

I'm sorry @valleyarchitect, I think I sent you in the wrong direction.
I thought the issue was a missing REXML library like I had earlier myself, but reading the errors more thoroughly it even shows REXML is present, the next thing that could have issues is rubyzip.
I updated the bundled version of rubyzip to the latest version in the hope it will fix something I'm not able to replicate myself.

Can you please give this prerelease version a try?

Issue was caused by another plugin.
