Version 1.2 (remove old before installing)

thanks to TIG for tweaking again for squashing some bugs.

See first post for latest.

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.

Rich O Brien · 18 May 2011, 16:15

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

Rich O Brien · 18 May 2011, 16:16

No, it seems to toggling on/off....strange? TIG?

Dave R · 18 May 2011, 16:18

It isn't even Friday the 13th.

Rich O Brien · 18 May 2011, 20:46

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

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

@Rich:
Did you live in the states for awhile?

JClements · 19 May 2011, 01:46

A visit is all it takes.

Dave R · 19 May 2011, 01:49

Comes of drinking American beer at high elevations for a week when you're not used to either.

Lived in Boston for a year about 15yrs ago. Was a painter/decorator/illegal alien!

But that's the only blot on an otherwise perfect record.

@Dave
I didn't even realise Boulder was high up? Too busy fixated on the dispensaries.

@Rich:
'Twas the nuances of your snappy comeback that made me wonder

In your honor:

A fellow we know named O'Brien,
Sometimes can leave folks a-cryin'.
But sometimes his gaffin',
Will start you to laffin',
Even when sparks are a-flyin'.

oh, well.

Where does this plugin locate itself? I have it installed, the toolbar works fine but when I look in the plugins folder the PenTool+.rb or a folder holding the icons are nowhere to be found. I am confused (as usual).

Rich O Brien · 19 May 2011, 17:29

Look for a folder called 'rob_hsltool'

The 'Draw' menu contains the modes of drawing also

boofredlay · 19 May 2011, 18:13

Not there that I can see. Weird. Here is my plugins folder and a screen shot of the toolbar active.

Dave R · 19 May 2011, 18:25

Any chance that's your SU7 Plugins directory?

boofredlay · 19 May 2011, 19:03

Nope, I checked and the folder you see is here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins

This is my SU7 Plugin folder.

Rich O Brien · 19 May 2011, 19:21

What's in that zipped PenTool folder?
