        Congratulations, Rich.

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

            Good start Rich. You'll need to get some shades like ThomThom has. πŸ˜„

            So now the requests begin. If you enter a length for the line in the VCB, the line is drawn but the tool continues from the start point rather than the end. Is it possible to fix that so it behaves like the native Line tool? And you only get one shot at entering the length of the line so if you change your mind or make an error when typing the length, you have to Undo and start over. Can that be fixed to operate like the native Line tool? Maybe both things go hand in hand?

                  Eyebrows?

                  There's a fix coming on the VCB issue and an extra Edge Draw mode that doesn't create faces

                        Well, Rich, congrats, really. I remember when Remus also wrote a plugin - now "non-scripters" are slowly becoming a minority here... πŸ˜’

                        I remember a wise man once answering this question:

                        @unknownuser said:

                        Do you build or have you built any SketchUp Ruby Scripts?

                        like this...

                        There are so many talented and generous ruby scripters out there that it would be a waste of resources to start playing with it and keep hindering them in their work with my basic questions...

                        And sorry for not having been able to me of more help - I have just come back home.

                        Nice icons, too!

                            Thanks Rich.

                            Out of curiosity, is this what I should see when I open the ZIP file?

                                        I use rollers, wheels and axles that I wish to add a guidelines though the center for alignment that will be part of the group. It would be nice, if I could draw a guideline between two points, maybe only 12" apart, and have the guide line that is drawn be the size as indicated in the measurement tool bar. So if I wanted to add a guideline to a wheel that is only 12" wide, however, I wish to have the alignment guideline to be 10' long, I could enter the 10' into the measurement tool bar, draw the line between the two center points that are only 12" apart, and have the guideline be drawn 10' long.

                                        So thank you for you plugin.

                                        OOPS. Didn't see that I could add the length to the guidelines in the VCB. My bad. So disregard the above.

                                          Weld Draw is working fine for me. It all works fine except my second request. But, beggars can't be choosers so I'm not complaining.
