      undefined method suitable?' for TIG::Smart_offsetter:Module
      but worked to a degree, the new border and face are separate and I can't seem to get them to merge with the original face?

      Strange there is a method called that ?
      It checks selection for suitability and affects how the menu, toolbar and context-menu items display/enabled...
      Are you on MAC ?
      Was there a line number with that error ?
      I'm about to issue v1.1 to resolve Pilou's tolerance issue...
      I'll swap some code around to see if making that method earlier fixes it for you...
      Let me know whatever you can... πŸ˜•
      If it's still an issue a sample SKP might help...

        Here's v1.1 http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=446462#p446462
        It's been made more robust.
        It now works on Pilou's problem shapes!Capture.PNG

          Hi Tig,
          I'll try the new one but something really odd is going on, and yes I'm on a mac.

          I used SU to instal, and had line numbers then, so I removed it from 'plugins' to do again, but
          this has been uninstalled, moved to trash, emptied trash, restarted computer, but it still there and it works, as well as it did, although sketchup can't find the file.... it's crazy, I don't have hidden files either.

          I'll over write with the new

            found it, a new 'finder. replacement doesn't update instantly... bin that
            ok no errors. menu cmd works, context cmd work, toolbar cmd dosen't do anything

            It works if I split if the validation proc
            cmd2=UI::Command.new('TIG.Smart_offset'){self.dialog()} cmd2.small_icon=File.join(dir, 'TIG-Smart_offset.png') cmd2.large_icon=File.join(dir, 'TIG-Smart_offset.png') toolbar=UI::Toolbar.new('TIG.Smart_offset') toolbar.add_item(cmd2)

              You have no idea how many times I got frustrated doing an offset and have to get in there and clean up the shape. Thanks TIG!

                    in cmd.set_validation_proc (and other places) you want to give the full scope of the suitable? method since it is being called from SketchUp outside the scope of your module.

                    Also, combine the MF_ bits.

                    
                    cmd=UI;;Command.new('TIG.Smart_offset'){self.dialog()}
                    if TIG;;Smart_offsetter.suitable?()
                    MF_ENABLED
                    else
                    MF_DISABLED | MF_GRAYED
                    end

                          Thanks, knew it was obvious... This only affected MACs though ???
                          This was collecting dust on a virtual dust, until Pilou reminded me that I'd written it, so sometimes things get 'forgotten'... πŸ˜’

                              I am not sure - it was just a guess and I don't have a Mac. Did you try it? πŸ˜†

                                I don't have a MAC either. πŸ˜•
                                Driven's reported issue was on a MAC and Jeff had other issues on a MAC too...
                                Hopefully this recent v1.2 [...20121221b.rbz !] will address the suitable? check and MF_ issues with the menus/toolbar...
                                It still works fine on a PC, but then v1.1 did too πŸ˜• πŸ˜„

                                        i'm still getting the same greyed out problem.
                                        is there anything i can type in the console or ?? to help figure out what the problem is?
                                        thanks

                                          Is there no difference at all - if you have nothing preselected, or one edge preselected, or one face preselected, or lots of things [including some edges] preselected ?
                                          The menu/toolbar are only enabled if there's at least one face in the current selection.
                                          The context-menu only appears if there's at least one face in the current selection.

                                          Copy/paste+<enter> these into the Ruby Console and report the results:

                                          with nothing preselected TIG::Smart_offsetter.suitable?()
                                          with one edge preselected TIG::Smart_offsetter.suitable?()
                                          with one face preselected TIG::Smart_offsetter.suitable?()
                                          with lots of things [including some edges] preselected TIG::Smart_offsetter.suitable?()

                                          with one edge preselected TIG::Smart_offsetter.dialog()
                                          with one face preselected TIG::Smart_offsetter.dialog()

                                            oops 😳
                                            it actually is working now..
                                            it's just the toolbar that remains greyed out at all times but the menu item becomes available once an appropriate selection has been made..

                                            (which, for me personally, is fine.. i more likely than not wont want the toolbar anyway.. i think id use it with a modifier key added to my offset shortcut)
