Hi All,

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, I just skimmed through the pages.

The accompanying literature states that for a mac to install the plugin in the user library not the main library.

Since I didn't have a plugin folder in my user library, I tried it in the normal location and everything seems to be working fine. Just thought I'd mention.

OSX 10.6.8 and SU8

Fantastic plugin by the way, I've only played a few minutes and it seems really useful!

Cheers.

You are correct.
The tool's documents contain an error.
You should install all Plugins into the root [hd] Library path Plugins folder... NEVER the 'user' one !
Hopefully Didier will read this and update his tool's docs - it is quite an old toolset...

I have an qestion if someone could create connect this plugin with shortcuts it was only one demage of this fantastic plugin

You can make you own Shortcut

See Menu Window / Preferences / Shortcuts / View / Toolbars / Projections

I'm cluless how to use this extension. I'm trying the most simple thin I can imagine: to draw parallel and perpendicular lines. This seems to be the only plugin/extensiopn I can find that might do these opoerations.

Is the right plugin?
Is there a usaers manual?

Thanks
John

PluginStore Search...Result... How much easier do you want it ?
There's a Download button in the first post in this thread to take you to the PluginStore entry directly...

is it possible to add shortcut tried pilous method but seems cant figure it out how
it doesnt appear in shortcut

this is much powerful than SU default divide tool and i use this tool often .. because the knife tool artisan + dbur projection is much easier to use in parallel projection it snap easily

Hi,
I've installed the Plugin Store and downloaded this plugin through it in Sketchup 2013. However, I'm not getting the toolbar and so I can't use it. I've tried manually installing the plugin but still no results. The plugin appears correctly installed under the Plugin Store's plugin manager. When I right-click on Sketchup and select "Toolbars", there's one named "Projections", but checking it or un-cheking it doesn't produce any results. No toolbars appear or disappear. Help, please!

TIG · 14 May 2014, 17:14

Logically you might look in Preferences > Extensions and check that this tool is 'ticked'...
Then OK and the Toolbar etc should become available...
BUT it is NOT an extension!
If the plugin is correctly installed via the RBZ the tool bar 'Projections' should be available ?
Do you have FULL security permissions to add files to the v2013 Plugins folder ??
There's a tutorial in the menu above...

De Etta · 4 Sept 2014, 15:30

I did not see an Instruction pdf available either with my download or on this page. maybe you can point me in the right direction?

Any update for Sketchup 2014. . . . .
It's not working. . . . . .

Thanks,

TIG · 26 Oct 2014, 13:08

Didier, this toolset's author, had made it an encrypted, so simple fixes are not easy...
Didier seems preoccupied with other new things right now...

But after some effort, I got/posted an updated version [v2a] now in the PluginStore, which is v2014 compatible [with one single simple typo fixed, which earler versions forgave but Ruby2 chokes on !]

With Sketchup 2015 64 bit, some of these tools don't work as they used to in 2013, Extrude lines and Faces along vector both only work when I enter values, but not by just clicking the start and end points.
