      In passing... I not that you latest version of dline2 missed a 'start_operation' around line #287 so it's still not v6 compatible... πŸ˜’
      It's effectively defining 'double-click' to be taken as 'enter' - I note that ones 'Double ligne' and the others 'Double line' are also probably typos left over from Didier...

      I only intended to add some user-interface niceties such as persistent options for selfish reasons, and didn't look too closely at the other parts of the script. I did add version checking to the other start_operation, thanks.

        What do you get if you copy the link from the 'square' as I suggested earlier ?

          I might have to take your attitude on this one. πŸ˜†

                No one really responded when I asked the question about begin-rescue clause with start_operation. Probably a poor choice for a topic sentence on my part.
                http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=22338

                Great minds think alike... fools never differ...
                I agree that this begin-rescue way is less prone to error like your .version v. .version_number typo which screwed Pilou's v6...

                I'm sticking with the explicit version check because it is self-explanatory. The reader can understand from the code that something has changed in SketchUp version 7.0.

                The begin-rescue clause is cryptic, and doesn't explain anything.

                  I have downloaded and installed the original dline plugin on Sketchup 8 Pro and it seems to work fine. I have installed it on Sketcup 8 free version and it does not show up in the Draw tab. Is this plug in good only on Pro or should it work in the free version?

                  Also....
                  I have also installed the dline2 plugin and when I try to use it the settings window does not open up when I select it from the Draw menu like it did on dline.
                  Help me out someone!

                    Hi,

                    The trick is to press the TAB key anytime you want to set new parameters for your "walls". It's an enhancement by J. Foltz but I forgot to display it in the status bar.
                    I've published a patch for dline2 on SU8 here: http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=804

                        Hi,
                        Don't know why it doesn't work on your side.
                        Workaround: open dline2.rb in a text editor, replace the four last lines with these:

                        #Menu
                        #if( not file_loaded?("dline2.rb"))
                            UI.menu("Draw").add_item("Double Line") { Sketchup.active_model.select_tool(Bur;;Dline_Tool.new) }
                        #end
                        #file_loaded("dline2.rb")
                        

                        DB

                          Because the plugin doesn't require sketchup.rb - which is required for file_loaded? to work.
                          Other users probably had plugins that loaded before this plugin that required the file and therefore the bug has not been noticed.

                              This plugin does not show up on my mac version. No load error, no selection in the menu.
                              I have tried it in both plugin folders
                              Any suggestions?

                                  Thanks for the confirmation, I had not looked in the Draw Menu, just in plugins and tools. So on a Mac it loads in the Draw Menu, which certainly makes sense.
                                  The info on the Ruby Depot says it will load in the Tools Menu.

                                    sorry, jim and didier,

                                    as far as I am concerned, dline2 on mac is hardly an improvement over dline. I get no dialog and the tool behaves oddly. see below: a z-shaped wall ends up like two triangles. going back to dline. thanks anyway.

                                      I also tried it out, once I found it, and the tab key does not invoke the options palette, so there is no way to adjust the parameters. A well designed double line tool, like the one in Bonzai, would be really useful in my field. (design for film and stage)

                                        two suggestions: the old dline and the wall tool in 1001bit tools, a fine set of plugins.

                                            Is this still available anywhere? The download link no longer works. I like the dline2.rb that I got from http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=804, but haven't figured out a way to change the default values. I like the idea of it storing the last values used.

                                            Thank you!
