@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.

'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?

boofredlay · 19 May 2011, 21:22

Well that is what I downloaded from the first post in this thread. I can delete it from the plugins folder and I still get the pen tools to show up when I start SketchUp. They have to be referenced somewhere I just don't see it. I even did a search on the computer and they don't show up either. Maybe if I restart my machine it will go away???
Odd.

Rich O Brien · 19 May 2011, 21:27

Well I'm the wrong gut to ask. I probably contributed to 5-10% of the earlier part of this plugin. I'm not blaming TIG for this behaviour but maybe he can shed some light on this?

I can't see how this can happen because the .rb clearly states to look in the 'rob_hsltool' folder for the toolbar icons. You have neither in your Plugins folder? Have you 'show hidden files' enabled? In case you accidentally hid them

boofredlay · 19 May 2011, 21:39

Yep, show hidden files is on and after restarting and not having the zip file, the ruby file or that image file folder in the computer at all I still get the pen tools showing up.

Dave R · 19 May 2011, 21:45

Eric, that's very weird .

boofredlay · 19 May 2011, 22:54

I know right!?

One thought, since I am on a network here it might have been installed somewhere other than my machine and is pointing there...? Just a thought.
