Weld rb

TIG

OK, cannot find weld rb in theplugin store. I know the best practise is to find and download new versions but the only weld I can find is the vertex welding tool which is not what i need. I tried the original version I have in sketchup v8 but when I use it 2013 bugsplats.

A pain as this is the tool I use most in sketchup.

Weld.rb is hosted at http://Smustard.com
There are a number of utilities and help scripts that you have to download [free] from there...
I am surprised that it splats across versions...

I have my own alternative utility [that I know works cross-versions] - I might add that to the SCF PluginStore

I'm using weld in 2013 with no issues. by chance do you have sketchup.rb, extensions.rb in your plugins folder? if so delete them.

Did you try Diggsey Recurve (in plugin store)?

massimo

Did you try Fredo's Curvizard? It has a weld tool.

I haven't had any problem with Weld.rb, either. I think this is one of the few I did copy over from my SU8 Plugins folder but only because I knew it hadn't been updated.

Mike Amos

Puzzling, this thing worked on the third time of installing. No idea why.

Sketchup rb and extensions rb were both absent so not the issue and frankly, the number of times a process has failed lead this frustrated bunny into boiling mode. Dood, serious nutjob scenario today. Going back to V8.

Dave R

It's strange to me that a few people seem to have such difficulty while others don't. I've had no crashes since Fredo made a small change in LibFredo6.

Tried to install curviloft, this will NOT appear no matter what, done with 2013 for a while, until it is reliable I do not want to know. Thanks folks, appreciate the input.

This might be the toolbar glitch fixed with SketchUp v13M1 now just released...

Incidentally my 'TIG-weld' is available at the PluginStore now http://sketchucation.com/resources/pluginstore?pln=TIG-weld

'TIG weld'

I see what you did there. How appropriate.

Keep that TIG welder out of the woodwork section, one spark and it's all gone.

Mike Amos

Weld STILL causing 2013 to disappear. Really not sure why. Apart from the plugged in gremlin of course.

Dave R

Mike, temporarily rename the Plugins folder to something like Original Plugins. Make a new Plugins folder and put weld.rb in it by itself. Open SketchUp and try using Weld. Does it still crash?

Mike Amos

Just had a complete evaporation from using the explode command so I think there is more than meets the eye going on here. I will try the test you described on sunday when I am no longer tearing my hair out. Pain in the proverbial. V8 is the vanilla of choice now and this is going poof too so the model itself may have some gremlins in the drivers seat I suppose. Sod.
