      Hi TIG,
      Don't assume the variable $exStrings is defined. It is for most people, but not for all. It is originally defined in one of the rubies that came with SketchUp - but not everyone loads those.

      Point taken.
      I just quickly clobbered these tools together from stuff mainly based on the linetool ruby that had it in... I'll trap it in the next release...

          TIG,
          The hatch dialog doesn't appear for me.
          Ben

          Have you put the '2DtoolsIcons' folder into the Plugins folder. In that there should be a folder called 'Hatching' containing the jpgs ? What does the Ruby Console say when it fails ?

              TIG, So far so good, NO Great! If you get around to expanding the software set, how about triming; both, to the intersection of, and in reference from 🙂

                Thanks TIG,
                it is very interesting that somebody care about 2D.I work a lot in 2d
                The hatch tool is very nice

                I have a tedious problem with drawing doors, and I remember asking Google
                to put in SU the "pie" tool that exists in Layout:
                click on a point, go to the distance you like, click again than you can draw
                a pie : radius is fixed, and 2 sides of the pie are drawn

                In 3 clicks you draw a door

                  hi tig,

                  it is not working for me. i followed your instructions but something is not right. can you help me? what do you mean by "The 2D#.rb needs to load before the others to make the sub-menu and toolbar..."? what can i do for it to happen? thanks.

                  2 images attached: one with the error message i get, the other showing the files i heve on my plugins folder.

                    You are Mac ? I'll investigate... I doesn't like the status_text ??? Seems that if first part is in () the second after the ',' confuses it ! BUT not on a PC - I'll ensure the update avoids that possibility...

                    I am working on v2.0 which is quite different, so that might avoid the problem - perhaps needs a day or two...

                    Please hang in there... 😄

                      I would be more precise
                      In Layout tools/arc/pie; is a brillant and simple tool that draw doors from above
                      I would be very very grateful for that tool in SU

                            TIG, Out of curosity, how much time did it take you do do the plugin? Did you have templates to work from? As a retired amature programmer (pre OOPS), I find this kind of coding compact. Maybe I could learn something about ruby if you documented a little:-), or maybe I am just a old dog that can't:-( Good work.

                              I took a few hours to get the first code out - look at the early exchanges with Jim -I based it on several pre-existing ideas... it then grew 'like topsy'... So far it's taken a couple of days to get where we are, on and off - I was away this weekend 'resting' and had T some better ideas for v2 that will be out soonest...

                                TIG,
                                I have wished for these tools since like the first day of using SketchUp!
                                Now SU can be an illustration tool too (I use it for this sometimes, logo design, etc.)
                                But now also I can trace these freaky CAD plans that look like they are flat but they are not, etc.

                                THANKS A MILLION... you are a legend in your own time.

                                  Hi TIG, downloaded the latest 2Dtoolset and having a play....
                                  I noticed a few things that you may wish to review:

                                  1. 2D Polyline doesn't acknowledge when it is on an axis. [change to green or red and tooltip to say "On Green axis"]
                                  2. 2D Arc doesn't reference axises at all.
                                  3. 2D circle doesn't acknowledge when it is on an axis either. [as per 2D polyline]

                                  Wishlist

                                  1. Arc to recognize tangents
                                  2. Can 2D rectangle produce a closed entity?

                                  Well done, mate, this is a great addition to GSU!!!

                                    Your items are already on the list for v2, as is wish 1. Wish 2 - we could make it a modifier key - e.g. raw rectangle is lines, with alt key it's a loop...

                                      Or Ctrl key for the loop; not sure what is the 'norm' for use of shift/Alt/Ctrl keys when it comes to GSU....
                                      I just find the physical location of Ctrl is easier to get used to than Atl; even considering Alt implies alternative...

                                      Anyway, glad it is on the radar. 👍

                                        I said Alt because it's an 'Alt'ernative to the normal that you'd toggle between [?] and I was thinking of using Ctrl for some other things like toggling between real_lines and Construction_guide_lines or for Arcs with Alt = Alternatives to reverse A-rc_direction and then Ctrl = make by_Center rather than 3_point ? Also Ctrl with Circle is to tooggle between 3_point and center+radius whilst Alt toggles between Radius or Diameter ?
