      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

        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 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.


                      Tools On Surface - drawn on group


                      Tools On Surface - drawn iniside group (on face)

                        I didn't think it was supposed to draw on groups or components.

                        As a work around, though, you could open the group or component and draw your lines. Then select them and use Edit>Cut. Close the group and use Edit>Paste in Place.

                          Quite!
                          The clue is in its name - it's NOT called Tools_on_Group or Tools_on_Instance,
                          So just draw ON a 'Surface' not ON other things........... πŸ˜’

                              Well, it looks I just used a plugin in an inappropriate way. Do I still benefit of warranty ? πŸ˜†

                                Does this extra line necessary when I want close the circumference?
                                (so I must erase it after the close)

                                    I don't know. Apparently the translation in the lang file appears to be correct for "length" and "angle" at least on my version 1.8. Can you please check in ToolsOnSurface > Language Translation....

                                    Does the 'wrong' text means something in Chinese, and if so, what does it means?

                                    Is this the only occurence of translation problems?

                                    Also, do you use TOS version 1.8 or an earlier version?

                                    Thanks

                                      There are several situations can not be displayed properly
                                      I do not known the reason

                                      The Translation is Correct

                                        Just in case, this may come from the fact that in your configuration, the Chinese language is defined with CN, not ZH.
                                        The original file is defined with ZH.

                                        Could you check what is the local language by typing Sketchup.get_locale in the Ruby console.

                                        Thanks
