      I am new to this forum. Can any please explain how to download the file extrudeTools_20100330b.zip? I tried clicking on it but nothing happens...
      Thanks

      If you right-click in the link to the zip file you should get 'Save_Link_As' or something similar - depending on your browser type.
      Download the zip file to say your Desktop.
      Let it download, then select that new zip file and right-click. you should get an 'Extract...' option [again depending on your 'zip/unzip' application]...
      Extract all of the 'loose' files and also all of the files inside their sub-folders into a new folder on your Desktop.
      Open the Sketchup ../Plugins/folder.
      Open the new folder with these new unzipped files & sub-folders in it.
      "Select All" and then Copy+Paste them into the ../Plugins/ folder, overwriting any existing files with the same names that are already in there [in your case there should be any as you haven't done this before ?!]
      Restart Sketchup and the tools should now be available to you - in this case in the Plugins Menu under Extrusion Tools... and via toolbar which you activate the one time from View > Toolbars >Extrusion Tools
      All scripts have instructions either in their thread[s] [or in the start of the .rb files themselves [which can be read with Notepad.exe]]...

        Dear TIG,

        I would like make a request to you for a new extrude tool (or at least for an available option).

        A tool to sort the edges skeleton in their own family.
        in a kind of way this option already exists with ExtrudeEdgesByRailsByFaces which makes the separation between "Rails" and "Profiles" families...

        Here handmade isolation of "rails" and "profiles" with eraser tool on an initial skin done with Extrude edges by rails

        http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/SketchUp/TIGeebfbr_042_th.jpg

        It would be a "generous tool" which would offer a great base to work with various tools (besides yours 😉 ).

        http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/SketchUp/TIGeebfbr_045_th.jpg

        with my hope you will find this request important as me, hope also it is not a too great duty I'm asking for.

          Dear TIG,

          No reply from you. I feel a bit confused/disappointed . 😳 Am I wrong with something?

          http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/SketchUp/TIGeebfbr_046_th.jpg

          I'm just trying to get all the benefits of your tools and communicate the results here in SCF!

          Ok, please forget my demand. There is already a pretty fast solution to pick up the families curves.

          1. using EEbRbF one time for the profiles, one time for the rails.
          2. explode the resulting groups and explode all the single curves groups.
          3. select by hand all the welded curves (CTRL)and copy them
          4. one time for Profiles family, and the same for Rails family.

            http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/SketchUp/TIGeebfbr_047_th.jpg

            Then we can mix the power of plenty of tools...

          with my sympathy,
          *simon

            Sorry Simon 😳 , but I've been a bit preoccupied lately... it is quite easy to do this and I am thinking of including an option with EEbyRails to allow you to keep only the Rail-paths, Profile-paths or Rail+Profile-paths... OR I might just make the 'pipe-dream' ExtrudeEdgesToLattice tool... That would do what you want... but also perhaps let you apply a lattice to the untriangulated mesh's faces - using an desired offset from each face's edges and also PushPulled up/down by desired amount[s] too...
            I am very 'bogged down' at the moment but I AM thinking about it...

                  New updated set available here... http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663

                  Brand new tool ExtrudeEdgesByRailsToLattice added.
                  [It has basic EN-US/FR/ES lingvo files...] http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=242239#p242239

                  Replacement ES lingvo files for all tools included [from Defisto]; and some new FA lingvo files for some tools added [through Majid] - Thanks to them! 😄

                  Minor adjustments:
                  EEbyEdges tool now exits gracefully.
                  A few scripts have had the missing "require 'deBableizer.rb'" added.
                  RickW's ' offset.rb' method-only script is now included in the set - because it's needed by EEbyRailsToLattice...

                  🤓

                    Thank you for your talents and contributions.

                      Dear TIG,

                      You appear to be using version 1.0 of offset.rb. There is a later version, V2.1 (see the attached). Is it okay to use the later version with your scripts?

                      Regards,
                      Bob

                        Don't know how I'm still using that old one !
                        Finger on the pulse, and all that.... 😒
                        Anyway... it doesn't matter, v1 or v2.1 both work fine when I've tested...
                        I'll package the new version with any future updates...
                        Meanwhile, if users already have the newer version then I recommend that they don't overwrite it with the older zipped one until the zipped update catches up...
                        Sorry for any confusion...

                            I have reissued a new version again today http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663
                            The single change is a temporarily fixed offset.rb [awaiting its author's input, RickW ]...
                            After I updated from offset.rb v1 to v2.1 in my zipped set earlier today, I discovered that it had then broken RickW's own Windowizer4.rb 😒 .
                            None of this affects my tools - they only need the Face::offset() method !
                            In this tweaked version I have included the older Array::offset() AND the newer Array::offsetPoints() methods found in offset.rb v1 AND v2.1 respectively; and so it should now work with Windowizer4.rb and also any tools that might rely on the newer version...
                            😕
