      Well that's strange, I'm using the tool right now to offset from a shape on a curved face. However, for some reason it thinks that the object is part of the face too, and thus is offsetting over that face. That's (obviously) not what I want...

        Not sure I understand the problem.
        Just in case, there is an option 'Isolate surface when extending' which is mapped on F7 and also available in the contextual menu. This allows ignoring the surrounding surface when you offset.

          Thanks Fredo; I'll try that next.

          I'm getting this error too. Is there anything I forgot to extract?

          uninitialized constant SUToolsOnSurface::CODE_Rectangle

          [EDIT] Hmmm... didn't work. The problem is that in the last screenshot, you can see a blue line that comes through the object (default color). That's the face I want to offset. When I do so, it thinks that that object is the same as the cilinder on which I am trying to offset. This results in a few lines on the cilinder (the grey area), but then all of a sudden the lines makes a strange turn, goes over the object (the default color thing), and when it touches the grey area again, it goes back to the beginning. I want that blue lined face to extrude, not anything else 😐

                Does it happen with all tools?
                Does it happen before, while or after you did the drawing?

                Any other 64-bits Windows user having the same problem?

                          At the moment, I am struggling around all the bugs that the Sketchup API has on Mac.
                          So unless I release just for Windows....

                                And then you can start re-writing the whole script for compatibility issues 😄

                                      Coen,

                                      You can testify that my NDA with big G is as thin as a face in a Sketchup model, that is, I have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever of what is going on and did not sign anything by the way.

                                      I am working on ToolsOnSurface, but actually wanted to clean up and structure a little bit the script so that it is easier to write additional functionality. Part of it was using Web dialog, to avoid the Function keys, another part was to manage the releasing, the proliferation of icons and having a cleaner shared libraries. It just happened that on my way, I had this problem with Web Dialog on Mac, for which I hope to get some help from big G.

                                      Anyway, as an additional hint, let's say that it will be on a Thursday.

                                      Fredo

                                            Hi Peeps,

                                            Do I have to delete the old toolbar icons first before I drop the new incons done by Cadfather into the TOS dir?

                                            Thanks,
                                            Jeff

                                            Have I mentioned how much of a laugh I get out of some of the Signatures on here!
