Tubealongpath.rb

You need to download the file form the link in the OP. Once youve done that you need to move it to the plugins folder in the SU system file -> \google\google sketchup 6\plugins
Once youve done that the plugin should be in the 'plugins' menu next time you start SU up.

Hi Remus!
Thank you for your answer.....
but...
usually I download a file (with .rb file) and I put in plugin folder....(as you told me!)
I don't understand when you say "You need to download the file form the link in the OP"Is there a link where I can download the file?
(I can find just the script text and I'm not able to use it)Probably it is a silly request...I know, I'm very new of sketcup's plugins!...sorry!
Could someone help me?...Thanks!Stef.

Hi Stef,
Yes, that is the script itself actually.
Select all the text and copy/paste it into a plain text editor (such as Notepad or something - no MS Word or anything like that!) then save the text file as TubeAlongPath.rb into the Plugins folder. -
Hi TIG!
Is it possible to extend the existing .rb by adding 3d\cross etc. line conjunctions handling?
It'd be a real killer! -
Hi Gaieus,
Thnak you very much for your answer.I got a problem.
I get copy and paste in a notepad and then save it with the name "tubealongpath.rb" in the plugin folder (so i can see a txt file with that name) but also after a restart I cannot see anything in the plugin menu...
have you got any idea about the mistake?
Thanks.

What OS are you using and do you have administrative privileges using the logon you're using when you do the changes?

I think ruby scripts are csae sensitive. Save with the exact name I posted.

Hi Juju,
I'm using Windows Xp.
I didn't get any problems with plugins and .rb files before.
I think it is really weird.There are not many things to try......so....
if someone find out something let me know!
thanks.stef.

You could always right click the link in the OP and download the file straight to your plugins folder. That would hopefully eliminate any problems with naming the file.

Hi Remus!
Thank for your tip!
I tried it and now it works properly!
For sure it was my mistake in terms of name....anyway...
Now I start to play with it...it seems like follow me....is there any chance to have different radius of different section of the same pipe?stef.

Hi Stef,
Not with thisscript. Still it is very handy because it creates the extrusion easily and you need not hassle with aligning faces perpendicular to lines and such.
