      TIG,

      That is the process I used, however, without having a short line to define the radius point.

      In my attachment, you can see the result with and without a reference line for the radius point. The inference was indicating that I was going up in the blue axis direction, but I still got the result shown.

      Thanks. Ben

      Did the VCB say [0.0,0.0,1.0] - i.e. Z-axis... If you start off in the blue Z-direction and hold down the shift-key the interference is locked to blue and when you pick it should definitely be axial... You don't need the short line - I added it for clarity. You can start to move off in the blue direction, hold-down shift to lock in the blue and pick any point above the center and it should snap to vertical ?

        The VCB doesn't say anything in the process, but the screen shows that I'm on the blue axis. For some reason, it only works when I lock down the inferencing with the shift key. Even though it says I'm pointing on the blue axis, somehow it must not lock on without holding the shift.

        Thanks TIG

          TIG - thanks for another fine plugin.

          report - not sure where you're getting the definition for round - Float.round does not take an argument.

          Also, version 7 users would find a nice speed-up by modifying the start_operation statement:

          model.start_operation("Lathe", true)

          
          Error; #<ArgumentError; wrong number of arguments(1 for 0)>
          C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 7.1b3/Plugins/lathe1.1.rb;146;in `round'
          C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 7.1b3/Plugins/lathe1.1.rb;146;in `onMouseMove'
          C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 7.1b3/Plugins/lathe1.1.rb;146

                  I'll add the version 7 speed up [forgotten during its speedy initial creation] and my float.round(n) does work for me !!! - although I don't know where I'm got that from [Edit: I grepped my rubies and found that 'Demeter.rb' and 'sunposition.rb' both redefine float.round(n=0) to take an argument [defaults to 0 if not set]]... I've written a similar method too float.roundup(n) to keep it separate... An update v1.2 will be issued shortly...

                    Very nice to have this function as a pseudo-built in rather than the clunky workaround previously required to make lathed objects. Thanks!
