[Plugin] ExtrudeTools - Full Set

Rich O Brien

Thanks for the reply. I think your suggestion of colours is the way to go. And will compliment the tool quite well. I see how it can't be applied to certain tools but still think it'll be well received

Here's another update http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663
The picked curves/faces etc are now highlighted and 'color-coded' [this depends on the tool***]
Typically they are:

Profile[Face] =Cyan
Rail/Rail1 = Magenta
Rail2 = DarkVioletRed
MeldingProfile[Face] = DarkCyan
OtherFace = Orange
***See each Tools notes...

EEbyRailsByFace has been fixed - glitches with curve selection and color-coding locations.

Is there a way to organize plugins into sub-menus?

TIG

A bit off topic, but yes.
See 'organizer' available on Smustard and also my earlier ideas drifting around where you could create your sub-menus in an early loading ruby [#.rb] and add your scripts to any one by giving them one of its global variables e.g. $submenu1 for the menu rather than "Plugins"...
I use it to group my plugins as

Construction[Guide] Tools
2D Tools
3D Shape Tools - Simple
3D Shape Tools - Complex
2D Manipulation Tools
3D Manipulation Tools
Camera/Image Tools
Text/Dims Tools
Terrain Tools
Other Tools
$submenu0 to $submenu9...

TIG, Thank you very, very much for your toolset. I just updated with the loft tool. All work flawlessly on my Mac. I really appreciate your skills, and efforts.

Here's another update [3rd of the day!]

In this one the FR lingvo file has been updated by Didier Bur...
I knew that Extrude Edges by Loft == Extruder des arêtes par 'Loft' could have been put much better [my franglais ain't so good... !]...
But Extruder des arêtes par profilage entre courbes is not half as snappy ???
The Spanish disponiendo is quite near 'to loft' - when taken in the 'naval architecture' sense of 'to lay-out a hull of a ship' - which is where I believe 'loft' comes from ?
Anyway whatever fits is best...

Enjoy...

Better is "Tendre une surface entre 2 courbes" and more poetic
(tensile structure) a loft between 2 curves

I'm agree

What a good tool, TIG. Simple and efficient. Many thanks

TIG

Shall I leave you FRench purists to ponder ?
It's easy enough for you to edit your own FR lingvo files to say whatever you like - just open with Notepad and do a Find/Replace on the offending phrase and insert what you prefer...
Extruder des arêtes par profilage entre courbes

your
Tendre une surface entre 2 courbes
or
Maillage entre courbes snappier
or
Courbes vers maillage ???
It's your language, so say it how you like...

Even EN-US users can even reword what their English version says, so
Extrude Edges by Loft
could be edited to
Loft a Mesh using Selected Curves
which is perhaps a more accurate name, but personally I am now 'stuck' with the EEby... epithet for these tools.

Don't worry! At the end that is the best!
