      Thanks. That works for me. I was unaware of this feature.

      Again, thanks for your plugins.

      Onto another note, will you be at 3D Basecamp?

        Unfortunately, it's a no.
        Google arranged 3D Basecamp a verybad time...
        I have a sick relative coming to live with us around then... AND I have to get things ready [like finish the new ground-floor bedroom/bathroom etc]... AND also it's aloooong way... AND it's a lot of money for a few days' junket AND... it starts on my wife's birthday AND it ends on our wedding-anniversary πŸ˜•
        So all in all a resounding 'no' - though I would have loved to have gone πŸ˜’

            does this plugin only work for SU porfessional, or will it work with the free version.

            i cant get it to load up.

            Thanks

              It works on SU Free. Have you extracted the zipped folder into your plugins directory? Making sure to keep the folder/file structure intact.

              Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp πŸ“–

                Glenn, it works with both pro and free versions of SU. Perhaps you could be a little more specific about what you've done and what's happening.

                  Also it's not to be found in the Plugins Menu... See Menu > Draw > 2D Tools > sub-menu items... AND you will need to activate the 2D Tools toolbar from Views > Toolbar > 2D Tools to see that too...
                  Please read the instructions in the Help file...

                    i feel like such an idiot, yes, they have been there all along.
                    sorry, i had been so engrossed in trying to get them to appear in the plugins section.

                    thanks for the info

                      TIG,
                      The 2D tools don't seem to work in v8. I get the following error (3 pages actually - just copying one as they are all similar).

                      Error Loading File 2D#.rb
                      C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/2DlineTool.rb:33: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting kEND
                      Sketchup::set_status_text ("Length"), SB_VCB_LABEL

                      I don't have an urgent need for this plug-in right now but I thought you'd like to know that it may need to be updated.
                      Thanks!
                      Wyatt

                        Wyatt, I don't want to speak for TIG but I'm not having any problem with the 2D Tools on either my Mac or my PC. In fact I just used it a few minutes ago on my PC here at work. Could it be an install problem?

                          His error indicate a syntax error.

                          Sketchup::set_status_text ("Length"), SB_VCB_LABEL instead which Ruby 1.8.6 throws an error at now that it's stricter than previous version.

                          Possible he has used different tools than you?

                          @Wyatt: exactly when you do get these errors? What tools/operations are you doing?

                            I don't know, Thomas. I've gone through all of the 2D tools just now and didn't get any errors.

                              Ok, figured it out. The 2D tools that don't work for me are these:
                              http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=21445

                              v4.6 works fine. Are the plugins on the other thread an earlier build?

                                As Thomthom says v8 is more unforgiving of having only part of the arguments parenthesized - I will check my code and reissue to suit... B U T . . .
                                However, there is no occurrence of the text Sketchup::set_status_text ("Length"), SB_VCB_LABEL ANYWHERE in the current 2DlineTool.rb - it's always the correctly syntaxed Sketchup::set_status_text((db"Length"),SB_VCB_LABEL) ??? πŸ˜•
                                So I am a bit mystified - do you have the correct version downloaded from the main page zip file...

                                    It was 'wrong' in some older versions.... BUT not in the more recent ones - and they coincidentally suits v8 too............
