Gaieus

Hi Ruturaj

Oscarlok released a boolen plugin (which is free) however it has stuck in its beta version and does not always work as expected:

Hey I like this plugins a lot !
How many times did I have to trim the start and end of shapes done with Follow Me.

Btw, If you do not end up with a smooth shape even when asked for, just unhide Hidden Geometry, unsoften one edge and then soften it again. All edges are now smooth.

With v2.0 it's been renamed as 'extrudeEdgesByLathe' - it's been deBabelized and appears on a combined Toolbar - 'Extrusion Tools', plus various minor tweaks...

Feedback:
The Plugins Dropdown Menu commands for the extrusion suite appear to be operational with your latest revisions.
Thank you, again.

Here is Chinese lingvo file by me from http://www.SuBlog.net

Thank you.

I shall include it in the next update - meanwhile any Chinese users can download it now and unzip it into their ../Plugins/TIGtools/ folder.

I note you have called it 'extrudeEdgesByLatheCN.lingvo' BUT I think it should be 'extrudeEdgesByLatheZH-CN.lingvo' ?
I think locale for a Chinese PC is ZH-CN ?
If it is then the file needs renaming to suit that: otherwise the locale test won't find it and the text will default to English[US]...
To check this please type [or copy/paste] in the Ruby Console Sketchup.get_locale.upcase, for you it should return ZH-CN ? For me it'd be EN-US. Whatever it returns is what the 'suffix' on the file name should be...

Thanks for the help

Request
"A zoom extents" before the first dialog box for have all the object on the screen for an more easy answer
(or a zoom wkindow of the generated object)
Maybe the same for the other EEb...

It's not auto use extrudeEdgesByLatheZH-CN.lingvo file. I usually change the filename and overwhite extrudeEdgesByRailsEN-US.lingvo file.

Aha !
That way you can even have a EN-US locale but with Chinese text...
I know Pilou does that with the FR version...

However if you have your locale set to something other than EN-US then any lingvo file in your desired language needs to be named ScriptNameLOCALE.lingvo where LOCALE= your-locale code obtained from using Sketchup.get_locale.upcase in the Ruby Console.
This way you can have an EN-US locale but map your desired language lingvo files using that suffix... then you can use SUp even in Esperanto [EO] if you have a translation !

I thought of that but as you can orbit whilst picking the curves you CAN ensure you can see everything before committing to it...
One of my longer term plans is/was to add a combined web-dialog to the end so you could still orbit/pan/zoom to view the mesh and change the settings and when satisfied press OK...
