[Plugin] ExtrudeTools - Full Set

[Aris]

ok, I've installed it from plugin store

TIG: Extrude Tools v2.1
IMPORTANT UPDATE - A varied toolset for Extruding Edges into meshes etc... Now future-proofed...
Downloads: 6267 [ Version Updated: 2013/05/30 ]

-the plugin appears checked in preferences/extensions/Extrude tools
-It appears checked in view/toolbars.
-It does not even appear as a choice when I left-click the toolbars void space...
I did what you said with the top left toolbars still nothing...
could there be some conflict with files from older versions left in plugins folder or some other plugin?

You need to right click

[Aris]

sorry, I meant right click...

[Rich O Brien]

Put everything in your plugins into a folder named #plugins

now install the Extrude .rbz file again an see if it appears

You need to first rule out if there is a clash

Did you move all of the toolbars as I said?

[Aris]

Same story! I tried what you said, even relaunched SU and still it appears everywhere except
the toolbars...

[Aris]

yes, I did move all the toolbars (before) and now that I removed everything, it still isn't there. (which I suppose is apparent since it doesn't appear as a choice in the right click menu...)

[Rich O Brien]

That's is plain weird.

Do you have v8 installed? If so is this reproducible on that?

Can you post a screenie of your Plugins folder?

[Aris]

yes I have it installed and there's no problem there

[Aris]

here's the new plugins folder (I also gave it full rights)

[Rich O Brien]

And you are running the very latest release of 2013?

What's inside the ExtrudeTools folder?

You've the extension enabled under preferences?

You have it enabled in the SketchUcation Tools Managers?

[Aris]

That's weird!
after I checked and unchecked it from the toolbars dialogue and moving around the other toolbars, it finaly appeared but without a frame, so I cannot move it!

[Aris]

yes, I told you, it is checked/visible everywhere

plugins manager, plugins menu, preferences/extensions, toolbars dialogue
it's only absent in the toolbar right click menu.

Double click on it now you can see it and it will come loose.

Try this: Enable the toolbar in View>Toolbars. Pull all of the toolbars off the top rows. Does the Extrude Tool toolbar show up in the upper left corner? If so, you have now found it and can place it where you need but you really ought to install the current version of SU2013. there was a bug in the first release that caused new toolbars to appear under the existing ones. It was fixed though.

Dave earlier mentioned this...

To me it looks like this is related to the bug Dave flagged.

What happens when you check for update under the Help menu?

[Aris]

Sometimes giving up helps!
I reverted to the old plugins folder, relaunched SU and every toolbar appeared undocked, including ET!!!
I relaunched it a couple of times and now it seems stable.
finally to enjoy it (it's a great plugin).

[Aris]

Doesn't installing it from plugin store guarantee that it's the latest version?

[Box]

He means the newest version of Sketchup itself, your problem suggests you have an old version.

[Aris]

sorry, my bad. I thought you were referring to the plugin version all this time, I'm downloading latest sketchup right now. Thanks for bearing with me.

[Rich O Brien]

Easy to miss out.

Glad it works
