                Oops, I forgot to include LibTraductor.rb in the package, which indeed will be missing if you never installed previous verssions of ToolOnSurface or JointPushPull or BezierSpline

                I have updated the ZIP archive in the main post of this thread

                              1. just type the number of sides followed by an 's', so itd look like this: 5 s

                                Fredo:

                                I can not draw on any surface using v1.2. They do seem to work on "white space" (no other geometry under the cursor).

                                I deleted all v1.2 files and reloaded v1.1 and v1.1 it works just fine. Your other scripts/tools also seem to work okay.

                                In looking over the documentation, I see you allow grouping and construction point creation...BRAVO (I wish SU had this built in for all their tools).

                                Perplexed.

                                Also:
                                1- the Line tool has a "generate as curves" option. What is that supposed to do, create a continuous/welded (non-segmented) polyline? I didn't see a definition of this in the PDF file.

                                2- How are the number of sides for the Polygon or Circle tool modified?

                                P.S. Have you noticed how some of Jim's toolbar icons work; if you double-click on them, an options menus appear where you can change parameters. The might be something to consider for your toolbar icons.

                                Regards, John

                                  Bizarre! Are you sure you do not draw over a Group? This would not work then, as it the tools on surface implies you draw over the active model opened.

                                  The generate curve option is just for convenience, as it makes segments easier to manipulate. But, as you know, Sketchup would break the curves at some intersection of edges or faces. So, the Contour Editor does not use the Curve properties and instead reconstruct the topology of the contour based on looking for connecting edges, regardless how they were generated. This is why you can have in the same contours lines and polygons, or repair a polygon with lines on surface.

                                  As Remus said, just type a number followed by an 's' (as in the native Sketchup Polygon / Circle tools by the way). You can enter the radius / diameter and the number of segments in the same command, separated by semi-column. This is described in the doc.

                                  I am not sure, but I think this feature has dependencies on Windows. If I have time, I will try to address this general problem of options and values, most probably via a contextual Web Dialog box with the right click (so that you don't have to go across the all view to change things). Simply, I have found no way to use the right click without showing either the default contextual menu, or my own contextual menu when the right click happens to be on a selectable element.

                                  Thanks to advise on your problem of drawing.

                                    No, I am not drawing on a group. And when I am drawing on white space and right-click, some of the context menu items, such as "Done", do not work.

                                    Also, I just now noticed that the Extra Parameters (or Tab key) of the BZ_Toolbar doesn't work. Would this indicate something in your shared scripts that has changed via v1.1 and v1.2 that is the problem?

                                    Perhaps another script (I use a lot of them) is causing a conflict? Is there something that I can look for via the Ruby Console or could you add something to the Tools on Surface scripts that would report an error?

                                      Could you turn on the Ruby Console and check if anything is shown.
                                      That could help. Thanks

                                          Hi again, Fredo:

                                          Well, I tried the operating some of the tools with the Ruby Console open. I'm not sure what it reported will be of any help to you.

                                          As I mentioned before, the tools seem to work while drawing on white space (not on existing geometry). When doing so the Console reports nothing.

                                          When moving the mouse over geometry, the Ruby Console scrolls a series of information, extremely fast. If I read the display correctly, each tool repeats as series of 3 or 4 lines of code until the mouse is stopped. For example:

                                          1- Line Tool
                                          LineonSurface:139:in
                                          LineonSurface:518:in
                                          LineonSurface:899: . . . . . when the mouse is stopped, NOTE, there is NO "in" following the "899:"

                                          2- Circle on Surface
                                          LibonSurface:152:in
                                          LibonSurface:635:in
                                          LibonSurface:899:. . . . . when the mouse is paused, NOTE, there is NO "in" following the "899:"

                                          LibonSurface:418:in . . . when resuming to move the mouse
                                          LibonSurface:398:in
                                          LibonSurface:635:in
                                          LibonSurface:899:. . . . . when the mouse is paused, NOTE, there is NO "in" following the "899:"

                                            John,

                                            Could you give me more on the error (for instance on LineOnsurface), so that I can try to find out what's wrong with your set up.

                                            What bothers me however is that LineOnSurface has only 568 lines and you seem to get an error somewhere at line 899 !!!

                                            Thanks

                                            Fredo
