Thanks for the file!

Ok so it looks like Skatter is trying to generate more than 200 million points during the process. This is way too much.
The error you are seeing is Ruby (the programming language used to make SketchUp extensions) saying that it cannot create more than 268,435,456 entries in a collection.

I noticed that your model is in millimeters. Is it possible that you created the Skatter setups while the model was in meters, then switched to millimeters later on?
