Here's an updated zip file http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663

It's issued because the EEbyFace tool had a simple typo in it that meant that whilst it didn't affect my testing of it, it did mess up some of you - it's been fixed in the latest zip file... Sorry for any inconvenience

[driven]

no problem,

I EExRxF is working although it does crash out if you do it wrong, and it is that one that wasn't even starting.

I was looking at the code for both (to see what I was doing wrong) when I saw the comment-out bit, then I got mixed up which was in error...

Working a treat..... cheers again

[TIG]

Thanks - that points to a typo in the file that doesn't cause me a problem while checking it... but does you !

I'll fix it and reissue a new zip...

Here's an updated version http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663
Main changes are in EEbyFace and the related EEbyFaceByRails - their extruded form is now consistently oriented.
Also minor speed improvements and the lingvo files updates.
Minor tweaks to some other tools db setups etc - these will probably go unnoticed by most of you...

Feedback please

Feedback....I noticed the uniform spline of Fredo's makes the sexest railed surfaces. I do think the bezier command shrinks these curves..But Thank you!! I will be donating on your behalf soon. Like the day I can actually put money in my pocket, sweariingly.. I use your tools the most!! lately. Much THANKS and donation soon!!!!
Cheers!

Hi TIG would you be able to place your tools in a sub-menu like iv shown above ?
... would help keep our plugins list smaller ...

Thanks

Good idea - watch for next update....

Here's the latest version http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663
It now loads all of the available Extrusion Tools into one 'Extrusion Tools...' sub-menu in the Plugins menu...

EEbyRails and EEbyRailsByFace have been updated to avoid a rare glitch in the mesh/ribs caused by some helical rails turning so exactly at 180 degrees in some parts...

Here's a new version http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663
It has some minor tweaks to FR lingvo files [thanks Pilou] etc and a brand new Tool ExtrudeEdgesByFaces.
You pick a face as a profile and then one rail [curve] - then a melding-profile-face [this could also be first face picked]. The location of the face(s) relative to the rail ends affects the final extruded form.
It then forms a triangulated mesh based on these faces, melding from one face shape to the other, completing it with capped ends - there are then options to reverse/smooth etc - [its functionality is very similar to EEbyRails with a pinch of EEbyFace]...

TIG,
Thank you so much for producing this FANTASTIC set of tools.
Quite stunning.
......................
I do, however, have something for you to ponder....
Will it be possible in the future to utilise Intermediate Profiles ???
(See attached *.skp file)

This would be EXTREMELY useful for producing models with a constantly changing cross section
eg boat hulls, aircraft fuselages, certain storage tanks and vessels etc.

This can be done at present with your "extrude edges by rails" (performed several times) - but the ability to utilise intermediate profiles would be brilliant.
.........................
Thanks once again for all your hard work in producing this set of tools - and for combining them together in one toolbar.

Regards
Howard Leslie

The 'lofting by multiple profile selections' is on the list but I know Fredo also has lots up his sleeve too...

hey，why cann't i download the attachment?

[yuelai]

somebody can help me please?

[yuelai]

is this plugin for Skechtup6 or 7 vision?

[TIG]

What are you trying to do exactly ?
Simply click on the zip file link [ extrudeTools_yyyymmdd.zip- the file's suffix varies with the date of the last upload currently 20100219 ?], you can find it at the end of the first post in this thread, and then your browser should ask you what to do [varies with browser make]... download the zip file to your desktop, then follow the 'extraction' instructions etc...
You MUST extract the files as directed - that is in their sub-folders as supplied in the zip - DON'T try to drag/drop them out of the zip's window it'll go wrong. Use 'extract[_all]' option in you zip application and they should keep their folders intact. The .rb files go directly into the Plugins folder BUT the rest of them go into a TIGtools folder inside Plugins and even sub-folders within that...

PS: These plugins works with SUp v6 and v7.

Just to let you know TIG and I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem on a Mac, but I have an icon image missing.

I installed the ruby and opened SU. The toolbar shows ok, but after closing down then re-opening, the first icon is blank.
I can live with it, just thought I would report it.
