i think there should also be an option to make not round tubes but square hexagonal triangular ones.
Read the doc and USE PRECISIOn
!!!
You beat me on this Juju ! -

for the problems, maybe you must disable the old "line2cyl.rb"?
maybe...I did not have a chance to look at this until now on my work machine. I had line2cyl.rb here as well. I installed Lines to tubes and got the same results... not showing up. So I then tried as you suggested Pilou, deleting line2cyl.rb and now it is showing up.
Thanks.
Ahhh, great.
Thanks Pilou! -
Silly me....i did download the plugin and tried it before posting that...which makes me a bigger fool...but i didn't try the options...and manuals...who ever reads them?

Great plugin. Is there a way to close the gaps in sharp corners just like in "Pipe Along Path"?

would be possible to modify so we could extrude along square shapes as well?
Use a precision of 4 and you'll get square section prisms.(RTFM)
Simple anD easy.. MERCI!
Great plugin, I was trying to create a window and realized that using precision 4, the corners were at 45 degrees, can I control the orientation of the angles?
Thanks! -
Doesn't show up for me. I don't have older version at all. Any ideas?
-
i just DLd and it showed up in tools menu.
thanks dedier!
-
Whats DLd?

Its working now! WOOHOO! Great plugin!

I love this plugin! It's so incredibly easy to use and all the options I need are included. A+ for ease of use!
Combined with the soapskin bubble plugin it's almost addictive
It does sometimes crash my sketchup. The progress percentage builds up, slows down, and eventually just stops. A second or third try (saving before starting) usually does the job though.
All in all, pretty much brilliant!
-
first I must thank you for your handy tool Dider, and then I thought if you could combine this plugin with a geosphere creator + an option to have sphere in junction points, then we would have A LATTIC TOOL ,right in sketchup, that makes space frames easy.

@majid
for some things you can use that
A cool use of this "Multiple Face Offset" By Remus
If you don't use it in this case Windowizer(3 free or 4) By Rick Wilson @Smustard
don't make the "Frame Inset"!
Windowizer is a crazzy plug : All types of piercing windows + multiple selectionsSelection Only faces by Selection Toys by Thomthom
Invert Selection by TIGFor Crazzy Geodesic domes By TaffGoch @ 3Dwarehouse

My EEbyFace also does something similar but it allows you to define the extrusion's cross section by making a 'flat' face [it's Y green axis = extrusions initial Z blue axis] - the face can be any shape you like so you are no longer limited to circular tubes...
-
wow its working man............
i love it
thanks a lot -
Just installed this plugin and its great for converting custom autocad hatches into solids. Thanks man!

Didier Bur plug "Line to tubes" can make circles of 3 edges so a triangle, 4 edges so a square, etc...
-
I tried this, but the tubes don't get "welded" / smoothed at edges:

Edit: Ok, never mind.. I used BZ tools to convert my loop to a bezier curve (edit 2: polyline is better, actually, for this...), and then applied this plugin. It's all welded now!

Hi.
I've downloaded the .rb file in the plugin folder but when I restart sketchup, I keep getting a pop-up window with the following...Error Loading File lines2tubes.rb
undefined local variable or method `book' for main:ObjectThis plugin would really help with my design project greatly, so I'm really hoping someone here could help me get it to work.
I'm using sketchup 8 on mac btw.
Thanks.
