      There should be a file in ../Plugins/ #extrusionToolbar.rb makes the Toolbar/Sub-Menu.
      It starts with a '#' so it loads first - it then checks to see if any of the possible EEby...rb files exist and if so it adds the 'Extrusion Tools' toolbar referenced as ' $extrusionToolbar' and an 'Extrusion Tools' submenu referenced as ' $extrusionToolsSubmenu'. As each of the EEby...rb files loads it checks for these $ references and if they don't exist then there is no toolbar/button and the tool's menu item is added direct to Plugins-menu rather than into a subfolder...
      Your screen-shot suggests that #extrusionToolbar.rb is missing as there's no 'Extrusion Tools' submenu ??
      Note that the EEby... tools also 'require' deBabelizer.rb ?

        Ah, I renamed it without the #. Guess I can't do that.

          NO! It needs to load before the other tools so they find the toolbar/submenu ready-made...
          The existence of the EEby...rb tools are checked by it 'by name' so renaming all of those would also stop the toolbar/submenu getting created...
          Its filename doesn't have to start with a #, it just needs to list somewhere before the other tools in alphanumeric order... I use a leading # on the name of for my tools if I want it to load early - like the '#HolePunchTool.rb', as I want its items high up on the context-menu listings...

            And I use C:\Plugins rather than the default so I can share plugins between versions. EEbX isn't portable in that way either.

            Thanks.

              I made these mods to make it portable:

              starting @ ~ line 50

              
                  eePlugins.each{|plugin|
              	path = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), plugin+".rb")
              	#if Sketchup.find_support_file(plugin+".rb","Plugins/")
              	if File.exists?(path)
              	    gotPlugin=true
              	    break
              	end#if
                  }

                Here's an updated set http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663

                The tool now makes the Extrusion Tools toolbar/submenu even if the various .rb files are not located in the standard ../Plugins/ folder and are loaded from elsewhere [it now uses File.dirname(__FILE__) rather than the .find_support_file() which is limited to a standard set of folders]. It just requires that all of the files [including those in the ../TIGtools/ submenu] are kept in the same relative locations rather than the previous absolute ../Plugins/ location...

                It also includes the latest Chinese lingvo files, thanks to 'hebeijianke'...

                    Frequent updates are another advantage of using a shared Plugins folder! πŸ˜†

                            This doesn't play well with SketchyPhysics; this newest version won't extrude edges by rails successfully if SketchyPhysics is installed. So I keep the two installed in different versions of Sketchup. 😞

                              I know about the SketchyPhysics issue - it can also affect other tools... http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=300111#p300111
                              The fix is relatively simple BUT it means recoding a few lines in one of the SketchyPhysics rubies...

                                  Okay, I knew you knew; I guess I might have clarified I was wondering if it's an outstanding problem (I hadn't read those posts you link to here). But the fix you link to will do (assuming it works, as I haven't tried it yet), thanks!

                                            Have you installed any new Plugins lately?
                                            Try disabling them temporarily and see if that helps.
                                            Do you get any error messages in the Ruby Console before the 'crash'?
                                            If you do find the culprit let use know asap.

                                            Have you tried repair/reinstall Sketchup and/or reinstalling the Extrusion tools again...
