      Since the Cline Axes and Cline Normal are used to check alignment, would it be possible to add a set of TAB toggling 3 workplane disks at the origin of both of these plugin, so one would have a workplane to align the protractor. They would need to be to large, just big enough to allow one to the set the protractor's to the plane.
      Thank you for ALL the work.

      I suppose I could add an extra type 'WorkPlane...' > 'New Protractor' to do that - it's be quite easy to make...

        Here's v2.2 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=274345#p274345
        'New Protractor' option added.
        'Adjust' now applies to a plane or a disk - with different dialogs to suit.
        'New Disk' now has number of 'Segments' and 'Rings' options.

            Dedmin, check pages 5 & 6 of this thread. Rectangle issue has been covered there. πŸ˜‰

              It's a known issue with Sketchup itself - it occurs on all faces in groups/instances that are not axial or planar through the origin - not just this tool.
              There is a 3pt rectangle tool that will work - see the earlier thread...
              We await a fix from Google...

                  and why not a protractor "rectangular" πŸ˜„

                    The new "Protractor" option is implemented better than I could even image. Again thanks so much.

                    Now, I will be quite as a mouse as I will be using the brand new tools.

                      there may be a glitch in the adjust menu on disk - it worked once, then i got the settings for the rectangular grid instead

                            The cause of the 'Adjust Disk' glitch was obvious to me as soon as you reported it - a line of code was not copied between the normal 'Disk Maker' and the 'Adjusted-Disk Maker' methods - thus the newly 'Adjusted' 'Disk' wasn't given its 'disk' attribute, and therefore the 'Adjust' tool thought it was a 'Plane' and so it 'Adjusted' it accordingly [wrongly!]. Note that 'Adjust' might still fail on older 'Disks', that were made before the recent updates and that don't have a 'disk' attribute - if so you need to re-make them and they will then be OK.

                            Pilou's Hide/UnHide [good] idea was also very simple to do - just a few lines of code switching the 'WORKPLANE' layer on/off...

                                  Dear Tig,

                                  I'm just trying this new tool which seems to me very interesting, first to build something multileveled, and else to build a part of the drawing with peculiar axes: "non orthogonal",or perpendicular to the screen with the model twisted in some obscure direction.
                                  Additionally it seems also to me that Your
                                  TIG_Flatten to Plane v1.1
                                  and also
                                  Fredo_Tools On Surface - v1.2 (with Contour Editor)
                                  can help a lot..

                                  I don't know if the problem I encounter with Tapper Tool which won't align guide lines with the WorkPlane grid is already referenced or not. But this kind of malfunction is diminishing the tool IMo

                                  My best wishes for the festivities,

                                  simon.
