      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.

              --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...PointTool-blue.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

                    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!

                                        I love this tool for its simplicity and convenience in use.

                                        Unfortunately, it freezes the newly released SU 2020, and needs a Force Quit (on Mac Mojave) and I can't see why. It fails, and freezes SU 2020 when you try to add a point. No error message in Ruby console, either.

                                        Any chance, Matt, you could update it to work in the latest version of SU? It worked fine in 2019.

                                          I use this tool in v2020 without issue - PC/Win10
                                          So it looks like a MAC issue...
                                          Not even a newest MAC OS issue !
                                          Matt hasn't supported this tool for some years.
                                          If you run it with the Ruby Console open are there any error messages ?
                                          The tool itself is relatively simple so I am a loss as to why you see this issue ...
                                          Any other MAC users seeing this ??

                                            Sorry, TIG, I've only just seen your response, months late.

                                            Tried it again just now.

                                            It downloads and installs via the SketchUcation plugin, apparently without issue.

                                            But when I try to draw a point, the first one appears on screen, but when I try to draw another in the same session of the tool, it just hangs SU indefinitely, with no Ruby console message of any kind at any time.

                                            Great pity.

                                            I remember trying a quick look at the code, and so did Steve Baumgartner. He couldn't see anything amiss in the ruby code, but said it appeared to be triggering some error in an unidentifiable place, deep in the graphics driver code.

                                            Shame - I haven't found as good or as simple an alternative.
