      It works on SU8, yes.
      Exactly what location did you install it to? can you post a print screen of where you files are?

      It's in the Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/SU8/Plug-Ins. Here's a screen shot:

        i'm not quite sure how you ended up with a folder called 'ToolsOnSurface 1.6c - 15 May 10(3)' but it's not correct..

        the simplest way for you to install would be to download the installer here:
        http://web.me.com/jeffhammond/su/TOS.zip

        (this was made for someone else a little while ago.. su8 osx only)

        you'll probably want to trash the ToolsOnSurface 1.6c - 15 May 10(3) folder

          It's it the content of 'ToolsOnSurface 1.6c - 15 May 10(3)' that should be in the plugins folder?

            that's what i was thinking as well.
            though when i unzip the download, i'm left with a folder called ToolsOnSurface%201 which then needs to be opened to find the goodies.

              I trashed the ToolsOnSurface folder and used your installer to reinstall the program. Still no luck. Can't find the plug-in even when I restart SU 8. Does it matter that I'm using SU Pro?
              Many thanks for your help.

                you might have to enable the plugin

                go sketchup-> preferences-> extensions
                and check tools on surface

                pro doesn't matter

                  Tools on Surface is enabled. But the plug-in still doesn't appear. I really don't know what to do. These fredo6 plug-ins always give me fits.

                    Do you have the current LibFredo file in place, or does that matter here?

                    I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                      Yes. Current LibFredo file is in place. I even downloaded LibFredo Dir_34, even though I have Dir_35 installed. Arrgh!

                        Finally got it! The ZLoader_Onsurface.rb file needed to be pulled from the TOS folder.
                        Thanks for all your help.

                          David,

                          Your unzip operation does not work properly and that's why you have problems.

                          For Tools on Surface, you should have only 4 elements in the Plugins directory:

                          • folder LIBFREDO6_Dir_35
                          • file LibFredo6.rb
                          • folder TOS_Dir_16 (and not Tools on Surface....)
                          • File ZLoader__ToolsOnSurface.rb

                          I suggest you remove all other files.

                          Fredo

                            NEW RELEASE: Tools on Surface 1.8a- 12 Jan 11

                            This is mostly a new release in relation with the migration to LibFredo6 3.6 and to small SU8 issues.
                            There is no functional evolution, but it is advised to upgrade when you can in order to get a better support with up-to-date code. You will also get the two-phase loading in this version.

                            You will need to migrate to LibFredo6 3.6 or higher

                            Please see main post for download

                            Fredo

                              Hi Fred.
                              These days I've been using your plugins for drawing and detect some problems.

                              be possible to fix these problems?

                              Greetings, and thank you very much for all his contributions

                                  I'm having trouble with the arc tool, the arc has some kinks in it, please see attached picture and SU file. Am I doing something wrong?

                                    I don't think it is you. I get it, too. Yours is selected. The ones above it show the problem to varying degrees. The one below it doesn't seem to have a problem, though. strange.

                                      Yeah, it seems the problem gets worse the farther around the surface you go...I just wonder if there is a setting that I am missing or a workaround

                                        Ah, fredo explains the problem in the documentation...it happens when the arc is so shallow that the centerpoint is off the surface (see attachment)

                                        If anyone knows a workaround, I'd love to hear it


                                        From the documentation...

                                            Possible bug? TOS acts strange when I try do traw over group. It works fine on raw geometry, but on group I have strange projections. See the attachments.
