        FYI:
        At least on my machine, the new zipped versions do not overwrite the original stand alone rb, so I did not see the toolbar icon, and I had two instances of FreeRotate in the Plugins dropdown menu. I simply deleted the original rb file in the SU7 plugins subfolder and restarted the program. The toolbar icon loaded and, I assume the old menu line disappeared.
        Maybe this will help someone.

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

          working now on mac..
          i'll check 2d tools in a little bit.
          thanks a ton.

          [ed]- keycode.rb now returns 9 when releasing the tab key.. there's only one other key on my keyboard that exhibits the same behavior (no number on keydown) and that's the delete key 127

              correct.
              it appears to do absolutely nothing (in sketchup)

              depending on my system prefs, keydown will either activate the VCB regardless of what tool i'm using or cycle through all of my toolbar icons. (ie- i can activate a tool via it's icon without mouse clicking it)

              it's as if the system is keeping tab keydown for itself and won't allow it to be re-assigned

                        You might have seen elsewhere on the forums that a fix for the Instructor window has been stumbled upon... which means it can now be used for custom tools [with the right code] as well as the built-in tools...

                        My FreeRotate always had the Instructor window's files etc, but they never displayed... until now. It was believed that the Instructor part of th API was broken, but it turns out that although it is 'sort of', it is fixable after all with some ingenuity in building the file-paths etc...

                        FreeRotate's Instructor window should work cross-platform - feedback please, especially from MAC users...

                          I see trails in the Instructor dialog box. I can see it but each transitions is slighty greyed resulting in below...

                            i know... I noticed this too... I need to have a look at the gif to see if I can improve it πŸ˜•
                            PS: the gif is fine BUT SUp itself seems to add some ghosting... I'm going to compare it with the built in stuff...
                            The html/gif/css works fine in an ordinary browser - the browser that loads for the Instructor is screwed... πŸ˜• πŸ˜•
                            I just wanted to get the thing out and tested to see what the issues are if any, especially with MACs or users with odd set ups......

                                      quirks mode vs standards mode?
                                      Embedded webcontrols falls back to quirks more often than the standalone - so one doesn't always get the same results.

                                          If you can post, you are registered correctly and also logged in. There must be something else. What do you actually see? Is it a red/pink bar showing that you are not authorised?
