Hello All,

I got the Plug in and am having a problem with the dado tool. For some reason it works properly from some sides, and not from other sides.

I may have a hard time describing it will but here it goes.

I have a 3/4 (RED AXIS) x 25 (GREEN AXIS) x 27 3/4 (BLUE AXIS)

When I select the FROM edge as the 27 3/4 high edge that's furthest from the Red Green and Blue, the TO edge behind the 27 3/4 high edge on the same plane on the red but still away from the blue and green, the dado window pops up, I enter 1" in the TO distance, TO edge, Width 3/4, Depth 1/4 and it works just great.

When I select the FROM and TO to be the opposite edges it does something really funky.

It doesn't get set in an inch from the outside edge like I want it to (I'm assuming how it should work, as it works on the opposite side) but it makes a rabbet 1 3/4" wide. If I try a dado again after that, it works properly again.

its just from certain edges, it doesn't inset the Dado, but makes a rabbet that uses the TO distance, and the Width to determine the width of the rabbet.

please help me find out whats wrong.

I found the updated version, and the draw dado now works properly, but the create board wont do anything at all. Any ideas?

Maybe the author will chime in but I expect he'll want to know if you're getting any errors in the Ruby console when you try to run it or when you start SketchUp.

No errors, with the new version, I can go to the draw menu, select create board, enter the info, and click ok, then nothing... Same if I try to save default. Looks like resize board is having the same issue of not doing anything.

Thanks
