      yeah. I just get the green highlight and green note "click to select faces" I click and nothing changes. On any sort of face in current context.

      I don't know if I can do anything as it may be a problem with the Mac and SU8.

      Is it for any model?

      Is it since an upgrade?

      Does it work when you stat JPP on a Preselection?

        Works like that on any model.
        No particular upgrade.
        JPP acts as if there is no selection (selection disappears and faces respond to cursor by turning green). After exiting the selection of face appears again.
        Manana I will reload (I loaded automatically from SUcation Plugin Store.)

          nope, not that
          although i don't have what i'm assuming pb's exact configuration is (mavericks + su8 ?)

          i've tested it on osx10.7.5 with su8 & 2014 --as well as mavericks with 2014

          i can select just fine on those (as in- i can do the same thing cotty did in the video above with no problems)

              My office has been using the joint/push pull tool for several months and it has worked flawlessly. Recently my firm upgraded to SketchUp 2014 and downloaded the most recent Joint/Push Pull tool but we have not been able to type in an exact dimension offset when using it. I try to type in a number to offset it but nothing happens. We end up just guessing at the dimension. There are several of us that are SU savvy so I don't believe it's just us because none of us can figure it out. It use to be that you just type in the number you want. Can anyone help? I've watched the youtube videos but it doesn't seem like they have the same issue I have. Thanks.

                Well, a few questions:

                • do you see the value appear in the VCB?
                • Do you get an error (in red under the palette button)
                • does it work manually (by push-pulling with the mouse)?

                Could you open the Ruby console while doing the tests so that you see potential errors.

                Fredo

                  I am experiencing similar problems with Jeff.
                  I am on windows 64but Sketchup 2014

                  this is what writes in the console

                  and yes it does that on a fresh/simple model. With all tools in joint push and pull. I also briefly noticed problems on other Fredo tools.

                  Thank you in advance

                    Have you disabled Dynamic Components by any chance?

                      Yes. weird. It is strange that a Model object has no entityID method defined (which is normally "Model").

                      This may explain why some users cannot select faces in JPP if this problem occurs.

                        Yea, Model doesn't inherit from Entity and some methods are not mirrored. It's an annoying inconsistency.

                            I am also getting this error in a complex model.
                            Any ideas what I should avoid when modeling, so it wont happen again?

                              Unfortunately, these kind of errors may happen with complex models where the generated offset surface contains overlaps. This is due to the fast method of generation. I have the plan to have a default safe generation method to takeover when there are such errors. Should go in a next release.

                                Good afternoon everyone. I am Brazilian and I have read all this post and already tried almost everything here was suggestible. my problem is this: I have windows 8.1 64bit and working with sketchup pro 2014 beixei all files and procedures as indicated and it worked for about 20 minutes and then the Joint push pull bar disappeared.. since then redo all the steps as before to have it installed and do not get any results. Nothing happens. I no longer need to install it and use this to my architectural projects. I'm getting disappointed and frustrated with this and am about to give this application which is great but does not work.

                                OBS:. I have other plugins in sketchup and whenever I open the program pops up a list of read error indicating several or all plugins.

                                Thanks in advance,
                                Marcelo Cordeiro.

                                  Have you upgraded from a previous version of SU and copied older plugins from there?

                                    Marcelo,

                                    The best is that you install PluginStore once, and then make all the Plugin installations by Auto-install from the PluginStore.

                                    Note: to run JointPushPull, you also need to install LibFredo6

                                    Fredo

                                    PS: if you have errors at startup, could you post them in this forum so that we can have a look. This may help

                                      Fredo, (hope it sounds intriguing enough to you)
                                      would it be possible to add some importantfeature-
                                      The Inset (a.k.a. Offset) on push-pulled face?
                                      and if push-pull value=0 it could become 'multiple offset tool'.
                                      and.. it'd be desirable if the offset faces would stay selected after routine execution.
                                      Side note: Generally speaking it's about the 3D chamfer with one of two* distances set to 0, and maybe some part of the code could expand the functionality of your 'Sharp corner'?


                                      the general idea.


                                      The Acad's Chamfer command with 'Distance' option selected. 2 diffrent distances were set (10 and 5 in this example). The selection order sets the
                                      orientation of the 'distance chamfer'.
                                      PS The file can be opened in any web browser.

                                          I'll have a look. Even, if holding the mouse wheel while entering a value in the VCB is not exactly the standard behavior, I think I need to make JPP a little bit safer.

                                            So Fredo I'm getting use push pull join but only after having given up version skp 2014 to 2013 and returned to the pro version and only then. Thus use of a plugin with more efficiency. I have LibFredo6. Do you have the link to the Pluginstore? I can not connect or download anything through the warehouse extension.

                                            Cotty I only use the 2013 version of skp and plugins are the LibFredo6 versions that were downloaded the most recent and only use these.

                                            AOBS:. Now I can not use the tool 1001bittools =^(
