      hay,

      I'm in England, 50% of the population think mm is the Mickey Mouse Club and the rest think a foot is on the end of their leg...

      I work with both

        Hi. I apologize for mac bugs, I have no mac to test plugins... 😠
        Did you see there is an option that lets you choose icons you want to display? You can hide fractional icon if you want.

              Matt666, thank you for the very handy plugin. I use this all the time and was wondering if I could make one request...

              Could you add a favorites toggle? What I mean by this is allow the user to set favorite units / precision combinations they could toggle between with one click. In my case I need to toggle CM with 0.0 precision and Inches with 1/16 precision constantly. If I could set these two as favorites and have one button that would switch between only those two I would owe you!!

                    Obviously you can't 'sell' someone else's creation, but the use of most of the forum's 'free' tools in your 'business' is acceptable, unless there is something specifically in a tool's 'notices' saying you can't... In this case it's 'All Rights Reserved... Free License...' etc but with no other limitations that I can see...
                    Having said that it would be nice to offer an author a modest PayPal donation - after all if you are making money from a tool then sharing some of it would only seem fair... "What goes around comes around..."
                    Matt666 doesn't have a donation button on the 'SketchUcation Plugin Store', but this doesn't prevent you sending him a Private Message and asking the question... If he declines you are no worse off, if he accepts you might feel better in your heart...

                      Hello there,
                      I just installed SU 2014,
                      After downloading Matts Toggle_Units.rb using the sketchucation download-Manager I get the following Error message:

                      Fehler beim Laden der Datei Matt_Toggle_Units.rb
                      Error: #<SyntaxError: C:/Users/Architekt/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/Matt_Toggle_Units.rb:62: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting ')'
                      Sketchup.register_extension (ext,true)
                      ^>
                      Any Idea how to fix this ?
                      thank`s for your comments,
                      Uli

                          You should try to contact Matt by email or something, so that he can fix it.

                          In the meantime, open the file
                          C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins\Matt_Toggle_Units.rb
                          in notepad.

                          Change the last line from
                          Sketchup.register_extension (ext,true)
                          to
                          Sketchup.register_extension ext, true

                          Then it should work fine.

                          BTW, even if we can't get in touch with him, we cannot redistribute a fixed version of his plugin, as he states in his files "All Rights Reserved".

                          EDIT : It seems he visited the forum on Feb 27, so he should be around somewhere πŸ˜‰

                                Hi all
                                I needed to add extensions.rb to plugins and edit
                                toolbar_manager.html
                                tustrings.en
                                to correct english(engeniery) to Engineering (.en)

                                Now works and spells OK πŸ‘Ž πŸ‘Ž

                                Thank you Matt and what do you play ?
