Thank you Pierre!
A new version 1.2 is available... Try to fix Mac problems.

[jeff hammond]

Merci!

it's working nicely now on my mac.
btw, i think the provided icon is too small.. it's 16x16 but SU can use 24x24 as well..

@simon le bon said:

But at the end we need to erase all those construction points!!!
No problem! Just use the so powerful Matt666's Selection Manager

another option is edit->delete guides.. not as powerful as selection manager but it will get rid of the points as well.

I found this plugin great.
But it could be excelent if after you inferrenced the distance with another object you could tape /# of spaces and add constructions points. Sort of dividing a line in 2,3,4.... spaces.
Is it possible to add this request ?

Thanks

Hi NewOne,
Your icons are NumberOne
But when i try to use them (32x32), their quality isn't at the "rendez-vous" . Why? I can't say.

Well... This is what I do now: try to figure out why on image viewer and on forum page the icon looks nice, but in Sketchup is a little messed up.
QUESTION: how many colors does sketchup accept for icons? true color, 256, or less?

[Jim]

Sketchup Toolbar icons are 24x24, or 16x16 for the small icons. Tool cursors are 32x32.

THANK YOU !!
I tested with 24x24 and it looks wonderfull.

--EDITED POST-- changed the files, and added code suggestion.

Alternate icons for PointTool
Matt666, if you like this icons, please edit your script to use 24x24px and 16x16px icons.

The changes I made to your script to accept those icons and cursor icon are:

cmd.large_icon = File.join(p, "PointTool", "PointTool24x24.png")
cmd.small_icon = File.join(p, "PointTool", "PointTool16x16.png")

and

def initialize
#...your previous code
p=Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins")
pointTool_cursor_path = File.join(p,  "PointTool", "PointTool cursor.png")
@@pointTool_cursor = UI;;create_cursor(pointTool_cursor_path, 3, 30)
end

def onSetCursor
UI;;set_cursor(@@pointTool_cursor)
end

I am not sure if this is entirely correct, but it works for me.
If you decide to change the icons, pay attention on hotspot coordinates of the cursor
Suggestion: add getExtents method to avoid disappearance of the OpenGL line.

def getExtents
bbox = Geom;;BoundingBox.new
	bbox.add @ip1.position
	if (@state == 0)
		bbox.add @ip.position if (@ip.valid? && @ip.display?)
	elsif
		bbox.add @ip2.position
	end
	bbox
end

P.S. I like your script very much, it ease my work a lot! It's a simple, but strong idea!

The Blue Icon, because Simon Le Bon loved it...
for making the script to show cursor, see this post: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=13077&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15#p184325

Dear Matt,

I have downloaded your version 1.2, but cannot work out how to draw a single point other than hitting the Esc key. What should I do?

Kind regards,
Bob

I think JClements made the Construction line tool Icon. Would be good to see a similar icon for the point tool also.

Both point and Construction line tool I use all the time, thanks heaps guys!!!!!

[JClements]

Try one of these.

[JClements]

Or this one.
