fredo6

Ok OK, I was using some time tos and in deed it is great.. it is just lately it doesnt work on my SU....
mainly offset is just doing annoying beepand thats all, no offset ni nada...
Please help me with that,

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.

Thank you so.

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}

Matt666

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.jpg Excellent plugin, as always, sir! Thank you...

Matt,

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!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Fredo!!!! (insert Happy Dance Here!)
At last I can do what I've been trying to do since I first found SketchUp (modeling planets for exterior sci-fi scenes)

This plug-in is MADE of 100% AWESOME!

What will you do to top this achievement?

Hi there I would like to make some drawings on a sphere. I downloaded the plugin but when I start up SU this comes up

no such file to load -- /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/BZ_Dir_12/bezierspline_main.rbError Loading File bezierspline.rb
no such file to load -- /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/BZ_Dir_12/bezierspline_main.rb

I downloaded the plugin into /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins; and I didn't change the name of the folder, but it is named: ToolsOnSurface_131-1

what should I do??[/quote]

Kus,

Seems you had a problem with the unzip operation.
For Tools on Surface you must have only 2 elements in the Sketchup Plugins folder:

a small file: ZLoader_OnSurface.rb
a folder: TOS_Dir_13, with other rb files in it (and some subfolders).

I suggest you check your files and redo the Unzip, with a Select All and then Extract, to make sure your preserve the folder hierarchy when unzipping.

Hey, I've followed the quickcards installment guide but upon opening Sketchup it isn't running Tools On Surface, I'm not given any loading error or anything, it simply doesn't run, any help?

Nevermind
I forgot to check it in preferences, thank you for the program anyway )

Fredo!!! I'm becoming your biggest fan!!!
thanks a lot!

Hi,
I seem to have a problem too. I can see the toolbar but the offset doesn't work (Su7,7.0.102470), the line-on surface does, but nothing else seems to work.
I'm not familiar with ruby, but it feels like some setting might be wrong (like a variable in Autocad).

Later..
Just being stupid, I forgot to load in "preferences". Works like a charm!
