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

      Why rectangle tool doesn't draw on the WorkPlane?

      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...

          Maybe Hide in the Context Menu πŸ˜‰
          Adjust Protractor
          and why not a protractor "rectangular" πŸ˜„

          That becomes the Rolls Royce of Work Plane 😎

            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

                Glitch when 'Adjust'ing a 'Disk' more than once is now fixed,
                A new 'Hide/UnHide All' toggle option added to context-menu/tools-menu.

                    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

                              You can get additional tools' icons, but only IF you have those other scripts loading too...

                                      Sorry, but I can't get your plugin "Work Plane" working correct (Windows 7, Sketchup 8 - NOT Pro, only the free version). If I create a "New Plane" or a "New Disk", they always disappear, when I then try to use the pencil tool or any other drawing tool. Only the "New Protractor" works correct. What can I do?

                                        When you make the new WorkPlane you pick points in 3d to define it, then the final prompt tells you to "press <Enter> OR to Double-click to Confirm the new WorkPlane" - otherwise you will exit without saving the change ! So you are not confirming the WorkPlane but you are selecting another tool which then skips making a WorkPlane !!! πŸ˜’
