        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.

        Hi

          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.

                    Thanks TT, I was not aware of that. It is fixed (at least on RLD because I cannot edit Jim's post 😉).

                      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

                          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!

                                      Is the one at the plugin store working for you?

                                          Didier dline v6 or 2?
                                          The draw function does not terminate with either double click or esc.
                                          esc just erases the line drawn when clicked
                                          Bug Splats often on exit too.
                                          Tested on SU2014 pro and SU2018 pro.
                                          Works on select with any line or path ??

                                          Good and needed fcn and a fix please.

                                            How about a version for SU2018 Pro ?
                                            This will only work for select and bug splats sometimes too.
                                            Thanks for any help.
