At this point, I think you two would be better off using private messaging, rather than the forum resources. I'll give it a day, then I'm locking this meandering thread.

Why do find it necessary to lock this thread out? I'm trying to get help with issues.

Hi Ken:
I am inclined to agree that this thread went off-topic due to a (only
very indirectly related) digression resulting from your asking questions related to
Sketchup in the
SBuilder forum ...here:
http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/where-do-i-put-the-google-server-tiles.440855/#post-779616
While I have begun to find it necessary recently to try and immediately alert some folks who tend to interject digressions on a sub-topic that is "not reasonably closely related' to the primary topic already under discussion within an existing thread, sometimes, due to limited personal available time, and sometimes due to the lateness of the hour after a
long day, I might overlook taking the initiative to convey a "heads-up" to someone that it would be best to divert an impromptu question into a separate thread and/or into a different forum.
[
EDITED]
Apparently I overlooked conveying a "heads-up" at the point a digression began in this thread.

Hi Ken:
This latter issue should otherwise be regarded as a different sub-topic to be posted separately in the Sketchup forum.
IIUC, you have installed
KML Tools by Aerilius into Sketchup v2017.
FYI:
KML Tools was recommended to be used in Sketchup version-8, as AFAIK, it has not yet been updated for the newer version of Ruby used in v2017.
KML Tools may / may
not work OK in v2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and may / may not have caused issues with "
3-Pts. Tools Loader."

But I also think there is a responsibility on the part of
all forum participants for building the "knowledge base" that can be fulfilled via discussion of sub-topics in a way that allows more focused exploration of a subject
within its own separate thread ...which may also
make it easier to find that subject via a Search conducted here at FS Developer and/or via
ex: Google.
Certainly SBuilderX may be used to generate background images that can be imported into Sketchup and used for creating
multiple 3D scenery objects and/or G-Polys within a project area less than 1 Kilometer x 1 Kilometer in size.
However, for creation of only a
single building footprint ...via the Sketchup "geolocation workaround" recently discussed elsewhere within the Sketchup forum,
Google Earth is used ...
not SBuilderX.
On that basis (although the sub-topic technically has it own merits), that topical discussion should properly be done in a separate thread started within the
Sketchup forum, as this is a digression on a sub-topic of how to export KML lines from Google Earth and import them into Sketchup using a plugin Ruby script, and IMHO, should not be addressed via an impromptu discussion incidental to an existing thread on a different topic within the
SBuilder forum.
At this point, I shall prefer to reply to your latter question quoted above regarding
ex: "
Sketchup Import of Google Earth KML Lines", via a
new thread that you can start within the
Sketchup forum on this specific sub-topic (with quoted replies from the latter "digression" part of this thread if appropriate) ...subject to the following consideration:
Threads are generally regarded as open for participation with posting by all forum members; so if you have a question that you wish to have me answer by citing my forum name, be aware that by posting in a
public forum, you may
also receive replies by other forum participants.
Also, since my personal available free time is rather limited, and since I believe we can all learn and help one another more effectively via public forum discussions, I typically do
not engage in communication via Private Messaging "conversations" on a frequent- or extended- basis, as I prefer that all forum participants have the opportunity to gain- and contribute- insights in an open forum thread.
See you in your new thread, which I believe you would wish to start if you are genuinely interested in troubleshooting this "Sketchup geolocation workaround" recently discussed elsewhere within the Sketchup forum which uses the plugin Ruby script "
KML Tools" by Aerilius ...in
Sketchup-v8.
PS: Lets just say that would be more conducive to "Googliness".
