      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 Qpernick and welcome.

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

                        Could you turn on the Ruby Console and advise on any error message you would see (best would be to copy them and post the result on the forum).
                        By the way, which version of SU do you use, and on which OS?
                        And what did you do 'lately' with SU (upgrade?).

                        Thanks

                        Fred

                            nanyo: Try removing the MatchboxPlugin. I think I remember reading somewhere that I modified some of the base ruby classes which lead to errors in other plugins. From your errors it appears that it's coming from that plugin.

                                      Hi!
                                      I'm actually working with arc tool (on surface).
                                      May be I have missed something. I would like to remove all the construction points in one operation when the drawing is finished but i don't know how to do..

                                        Just construction points? You can try native Su tool! GO to Edit menu / Delete guides.
                                        You can also copy this code below in the ruby console... It will delete all construction points in the selection.

                                        Sketchup.active_model.selection.each{|e|e.erase! if e.class==Sketchup;;ConstructionPoint}
                                        

                                        😉

                                          Hi Fredo!
                                          I suppose you will move your menus in "Fredo collection" in your next TOS update, like freescale plugin ? ❓
                                          That would be cool, and also your push pull plugin!
                                          Sans titre 1.jpgExcellent plugin, as always, sir! 😄 Thank you...

                                            good tip: it is something I had forgotten.. > but the construction lines and points, they are all deleted from the overall model. Something we want not to be each time.

                                            This is just the good code: construction lines remain and every construction point inside selection are removed. Would you please make it as a .rb dear Matt? (I'm complet ignorant upon this ). It would be so greatfull!
