      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..

      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? 😳

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

                    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!


                      contains 16x16, 24x24 and 32x32 PNG

                        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


                        contains icons (24x24, 16x16) and cursor (32x32)

                            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!!!!!

                                          i have a small problem with this tool: it works fine but does not load at startup even though it was open when i closed sketchup. i always have to go to View>Toolbars to open it before using it.

                                            This simple tool I find it extremely useful yet... too bad is not available trough Extension Warehause or Sketchucation Extension Store... it should be added, so it will be saved in the bundles...easy to reinstall and less likely to lose it.

                                            Cheers!
