[Plugin] ExtrudeTools - Full Set

Jim

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.

Jim

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'...

I had just made very similar changes - you posted as I uploaded it - see updated set...

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

Thanks again.

If I haven't said this before, awesome tools, thx.

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!

Wonderful tool....

this toolset is a bit complicated for usage for a novice like me. I'm getting some unexpected results. Are there any video tutorials

majid

ow... it jumps out of Sketchup with no error message!!! (almost half of tools!!!! eebe , eebf,eebfs, EEbR)

TIG

Majid
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...
This is weird

You might find it helpful to learn the basic tool set first. And then search through the forum because there's lots of information on using TIG's Extrude Tools. He did instructions for all of the tools in individual threads.

I'm unable to have the first button, don't know why.

This has been a problem since a long time. I have got now windows 7 ultimate but the problem is still there. I did a fresh download of this set, overwrote the old extrude tools files but the problem is still there.

TIG

There are only ever 11 buttons - there are only 11 extrudeEdgesBy...rb files!!!
I suspect that you have put one of the files into two auto-loading locations or have two copies with slightly different names in Plugins - so something is loading twice but the 1st time its icon files are not found - SO... what is the first button ? See its Tooltip etc or look in the Plugins>ExtrusionTools... for a submenu duplicate.
Temporarily move all of the 11 'good' extrudeEdgesBy...rb files into another folder and restart SUp [leave the #extrusionToolbar.rb in placeso the toolbar MIGHT get made]. Then you can track down the culprit - perhaps something like 2x extrudeEdgesByEdges.rb ??
Let us know when you've fixed it.
