error using the QGIS "terrain profile" plug in

Question

I have searched the home page for the "terrain profile" tool but have not found why I am getting error when trying to utilize it.

Any ideas?

I have a polyline and 4 dems ready to run the tool. enter image description here Would like to export the profile as an image and excel file.

When does the error appear? What are you trying to do at that point? — underdark, Commented Jun 4, 2014 at 18:05
If I remember correctly, you just have to click on the line in the map while the vector layer is active. The "Add layer" button is only for the raster layers. — underdark, Commented Jun 4, 2014 at 19:06
After selecting the polyline nothing happens... an I missing something with "while the vector layer is active"? — sirgeo, Commented Jun 4, 2014 at 19:12
Click on the line while the profile tool is active. I don't mean the usual select tools. — underdark, Commented Jun 4, 2014 at 19:15

The "Add layer" button is only for the raster layers.

To get the profile for a certain line:

..and also make sure you have chosen 'Selected polyline' and not 'temporary polyline' within the profile tab of the Profile tool (the cursor will change to a hand from a cross)
