Sketchup kind of 'stuck' after scripts

Mainly that are modified versions of Fillet.rb, Pipe_along_Path.rb.
First step would be to check if the original versions work ok for you.If yes,than find the differences.Than add every difference to the original(working) code.Then you will know what line makes your code not working.

will do.

I suspect that you have made a 'tool' that doesn't exit but sits there waiting for more input... without giving us some clues with your code we can't really help much more

[ghandi]

So I figured the problem arises from the originalfillet.rb (attached)

For my modified version I mainly removed following lines
89-91
101-103
110-126
166-167

so these lines can't be responsible for the problem.

The remaining code looks normal to me.

I tried to locate the problem by putting returns here and there but no

Nothing is wrong.You are just "in the tool".
When the tool is selected,you can do just what the tool let you do.So it can be like stuck.
You just have to select other tools to exit this tool.

[ghandi]

That's it.

So I just activate the "Select-Tool" with

Sketchup.active_model.select_tool(nil)

Is that what I want?

Or is there an other way to close the Tool?

Thank you

If you want to "close" a tool,you have to select another tool.
If you want to do it in code,try

 Sketchup.send_action "selectSelectionTool;"

,or other tools you want.

[ghandi]

Solved. Thank you very much.

Does that work on OSX?

A safer method is Sketchup.active_model.select_tool( nil )

Sketchup.send_action("selectSelectionTool:") should work cross-platform - it's only the numerical codes that are PC specific like Sketchup.send_action(10501) which is PC only whereas the equivalent Sketchup.send_action("viewTop:") works on PC & MAC...
