      Edson,

      It looks like you have something rescued from version 1.1. Did you delete the older files?

      i threw away the entire v1.2 folder. any clues as to which file i should look for?

        Edson,

        Check if one of these files is still in the Plugins folder.

        • LibOnSurface.rb
        • OffsetOnSurface.rb
        • LineOnSurface.rb
        • PolygonOnSurface.rb
        • EraserOnSurface.rb
        • PolylineOnSurface.rb.

        I am not familiar with how scripts install on Mac, but it seems that you have an old LineonSurface.rb and Offset_on_surface.rb which is active and loaded.

          the 3 first ones were lying around, outside the TOS folder. i deleted them and that did the trick. thanks.

            i must say i enjoy just looking at the way the plugin draws the shapes with those red lines...

            and i noticed if you draw 2 overlapping faces it even knows the intersections! (when drawn on faces)

            Thank You and Amazing!! ☀

                  1. Brilliant! Many thanks.
                  2. Is there a way to set up number of segments in your curvy tools?

                    Just like with the regular tools: after drawing the circle/polygon, type a number followed by a letter s and hit enter.

                                Fredo, this is an amazing set of tools. Thank you.

                                A question for you. When I first select one of the tools I get a message box indicating that the following files could be removed...

                                • LibOnSurface.rb
                                • OffsetOnSurface.rb
                                • LineOnSurface.rb
                                • PolygonOnSurface.rb
                                • EraserOnSurface.rb
                                • PolylineOnSurface.rb.

                                But that TOS_Dir and OFS_Dir could not be removed. I have removed those RB files and directories from the Plugins folder. I hadn't removed them before the first time I tried the new set of tools. After seeing that message box the first time, I did remove those files but I still get it the first time after opening SketchUp. Is this message just a normal thing?

                                You asked about what folks were getting for loading times but I haven't seen the thing I'm supposed to click on to see it.

                                Thanks again.

                                  THAT didn't work for me either but the VCB input is just fine (at least for me).

                                  The possible cause for not being editable from the entity info is that these entities are not "regular", native SU entities thus they are not editable this way.

                                  There are however immense options available when you edit them while right clicking with the tool during creation for instance.

                                    For the warning message, There was a bug in the initial version posted, but I fixed it and reloaded yesterday 12 Jul around 1pm. I am not sure, but if you downloaded before, it is wise to take the latest version. Sorry for inconvenience.

                                    For the script load time, go to the menu 'Tools>Tools On Surface>About...' It is shown in the dialog box.

                                    Fredo

                                      Gaieus,

                                      You're probably right that the entity info is maybe reserved to the native Sketchup shape. Actually, I have no clue what to do in Ruby to catch a change in this Entity window. But if someone knows....

                                      Normally all modifications can be done right after the shape is generated (and of course while drawing it). This applies to distance, angle, rings and nb of segments.

                                      Fredo

                                          fredo, I am simply blown away by your tools. they work so smooth (much smoother than before that is). really great! thank you so much. SketchUp is raised to another level!!! 😍

                                          CadFather, thanks for the icons. I really like them, very elegant. 👍

                                            Actually the offset tool is so much more superior to the native one (due to its correction features) that I love it!

                                            One thing to improve maybe (and for me to really remove the "Draw" toolbar of native SU): could the line tool - after creating a closed loop of edges - form a face in 2D as well? I mean without drawing on an already existing face/surface?

                                            BTW - I now have a totally new row of toolbars (almost) exclusively occupied by the "Fredo Tools"! 😄
