Hi Fredo

I was late finding this thread and didn't know about this ruby. Awesome!Thanks.

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

plot-paris

I would be happy with that

great to hear, that you are still on it Fredo. I am looking forward to the new release

fredo6

As a hint, it will be 27 working days before the release of SU7

Gaieus

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

Big call Fredo!!!!!

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.

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

Fredo I find your script a real Sketchup improvement, thank you for developing it!
It's really interesting the construction line circle. It reminds me a suggestion I've had some time ago
http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=3610
The possibility to take a real construction circle you can refernece on it to draw with accurance. For example, now in sketchup I can't draw an arc with given radius tangent to two circles; I can't draw a circle (with a random point center) tangent to another existing one.
Would Such as request be possible to seen developed in your script, sooner or later? Or it's something Sketchup cant support?

fredo6

This is possible, and actually only On Surface in the general case (otherwise you need the 2 tangents to be in the same plane).
Will think about it, as this may simply be an adaptation of the Arc tool.
The only issue is that I don't have much time to be very active on my scripts at the moment, so it may take a while.
The alternative is that someone writes a dedicated script for that specific function.

Hello,

I am new here. My name is Filip. Nice to meet you.

I wonder if this plugin works with Sketchup 7?

I unzipping but no Tos-Dir-13 directory is created. Why?

The script should work in SU7.
For your problem, be careful in Winzip to do a SELECT ALL, and then an EXTRACT in the Sketchup Plugins directory, in order to have Winzip to recreate the folder structure.

Hi,

Thanks.I was using bed unzip program. I unpacked it by winzim now and structure of files is ok but still dont have this plugin in sketchup. Any idea?

Gaieus

Hi Qpernick and welcome.

You should activate the toolbar (Surface operations or what) fro the View > Toolbars menu (somewhere at the bottom).
