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

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 thinklocalefor a Chinese PC is ZH-CN ?
If it is then the file needs renaming to suit that: otherwise thelocaletest won't find it and the text will default to English[US]...
To check this please type [or copy/paste] in the Ruby ConsoleSketchup.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.upcasein 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 !

Maybe the same for the other EEb...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... -
Here's v2.4 - FR lingvo file update by Pilou.

hey Tig,
here's a request for the lathe tool to tuck away for those rainy days
your extrusion suite has radically changed the way i model in SU as i very rarely use the followme tool anymore.. lathe pretty much fixes the multiple problems i encounter with
anyway, the only problem i have with lathe.rb is when i'm trying to rotate to an approximate degree (ie - **~**74Β° etc.).. would it be possible to incorporate a protractor of sorts that can measure the actual angle instead of typing it in?
(see attached skp for example situation)thanks!

As you know [sssh
] I'm looking at some other related extrusion tools and these will involve a protractor to rotate stuff with before making the shapes - so when that's working perhaps I can bolt it on to EEbyLathe -

i do have a decent workaround for now that still gives me the accuracy i'm after so i'll just wait patiently (with fingers crossed ) -
Thank you Tig! Much appreciated!!!
