Drawing curved tapers for architectural ironwork design

Terry,

These tools (and your metalwork) look very interesting. I hope you will add to the gallery on your site, and share your work here in the future. Looking forward to experimenting with the plugins. Thanks so much for sharing!

Nice Job!!!
I like the Taper Maker plugin but works only if I select a round section. The square, rectangle, hexagon, octongon or diamond give me errors. Here i attach what the ruby console says.

Thank you for sharing your plugins,
Daniel S

Round section works fine

Other sections give me this error

Thank you for sharing, Terry.

The second dialogue box only appears with SU configured in inches units. Isn't?

Yes, that appears to be the issue. Thanks for helping diagnose the problem. Of course, it is not supposed to work that way. It appears to be a problem for people using PC's because I cannot replicate the problem on my Mac.

@unknownuser said:

Once installed, the plugins "register" and "activate" themselves the next time you start SketchUp. Each plugin will add a submenu to SketchUp's Plugins menu. Verify that you can see the menu items on the Plugins menu.

A plugin's submenu appears on SketchUp's Plugins menu only when it is activated. If you do not want to use a plugin, you can "deactivate" it by visiting the Extensions tab on the Preferences dialog and unchecking the appropriate check box.

Does your plugins run on the GoogleSketchup free?

Ah, ok. I'm a PC user (running Vista) and, yes, i'm using SU free version. Works fine

Thanks to everyone for your positive feedback and encouragement. Please share images or links to interesting things you model with the plugins.

Thanks in particular to Daniel S for uncovering a bad bug that impacted users with a French, Spanish, German or Italian locale. I apologize to international users for not having been more sensitive to those pesky commas in positional notation and not fully appreciating what Ruby does and doesn't do.

In any event, I have posted updated versions that you can download from http://www.drawmetal.com/download. Alternatively, if you need more detailed installation instructions you can also download the plugins from http://www.drawmetal.com/installationinstructions.
