      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...

          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... πŸ˜’

            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 πŸ€“

              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!!!!

                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

                        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...

                          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

                                      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...
                                      πŸ€“

                                      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.

                                          This was reported once before [that was on a Mac too when there were fewer tools http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=218480#p218480 think it was resolved by removing everything and reinstalling the whole set from scratch...].
                                          Are you sure you have all of the rb's and png's in the right folders ?
                                          There are currently only 7 tools - you show 8 - the extra [first] button is a 'false' one...
                                          What EEby.. tool does it open?
                                          It suggests to me that you have a duplicate rb loading from perhaps one of those Mac's dreaded extra 'personal' Plugins folders [scripts should all be in 'root' level Plugins folder ?].
                                          Use the Finder and search for any .rb files starting with ExtrudeEdgesBy... there should only be the 7 in the proper Plugins folder.
                                          There's also a toolbar loader called #extrusionToolbar.rb - that should also only be found in Plugins folder - that file just makes the toolbar for the other tools to add on too as they each load in turn...
