          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...

          @unknownuser said:

          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!
          πŸ˜‰

          Gai...

              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.

                                Now Weld Draw doesn't seem to draw welded edges.

                                Soft Draw will convert unsoftened edges to softened but doesn't draw softened wedges from the start.

                                  It seems it's only welding when aligned to an axis? Can you confirm?

                                        Updated to v1.3

                                        Note:
                                        Weld Draw does not draw welded loops. It will also split if it intersects with any edge and get a little funky. It's primary function it to create a simple curve from drawn edges[lines]

                                          Cool Rich, great job on posting a plugin. I'll never ever use it as I'm sure I won't understand its accent, but should be lots of fun to install just to hear it mock me and my modeling habits all the time 🀣

                                          Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

                                            Make sure to use the Weld tool on your mouth. Before I write a Foot tool for your ass 😠
