      Frenchy,

      I am sure. I replaced the latest version with a version from 18 Feb and that works fine. Changing the older one out for the newer again and it still hangs at the same point.

      I am on a Mac - maybe there's a difference?

        There are two tools EEbyFace and EEbyRailsByFace - you are jumbling the threads. 😕
        EEbyFace - you pre-pick a Face and a path of Edges and run the tool there are no prompts to pick curves etc
        EEbyRailsbyFaces
        Pre-pick the ProfileFace

        • you run the tool
          Pick the profiles as with EEbyRails...

        BUT it shouldn't dump out like that.
        I have tried to replicate this and got it too...

        I have a fix - publishing it soonest... 😒

          TIG,
          True, I was jumbling the threads, I got confused here :-

          Face - Faces..

          and went on to see which of the plugins was actually giving me colours and got hung up on EEBRF. A different naming scheme would make it easier for us mortals! After all, EEBRBF extrudes a selected face along chosen edges, so something like "ExtrudeaFacebyRails" could help differentiate it better.

            I puzzled long about the names 😒
            I have a fix for that glitch but it's made another - offsetting the colored lines !
            I'll fix it tomorrow... 💭 ➡

              there is a divergence: I understant that is perpendicular to the last segment,
              but it is annoying for make a perfect quarter volume! ❓

                EEbyFace is a kind of 'FollowMe' and you will get un-square ends - use EEbyLathe to be perfect solid by revolution - simply select the face+edges and an axis centered on the arcs cpt... 😕

                  Is there a plugin that can delete all the faces in a structure, leaving it with only the edges? I would like to use the nice Extrude Edges by Face plugin to create a typical steel-like structure.

                  I would like to make a structure with steel beams

                    To add/remove things to/from a selection there are several tools [e.g. see thomthom's selection_toys script]...
                    Here's a one liner that takes a selection [it assumes faces and edges are selected, and leaves only faces in the selection - hit delete key to erase faces...]

                    m=Sketchup.active_model;s=m.selection;sa=s.to_a;s.clear;sa.each{|e|s.add(e)if e.class==Sketchup;;Face}
                    

                    Paste it into the Ruby Console and hit return...
                    To make a function wrap it in a 'def' thus:

                    def isolatefaces()
                      m = Sketchup.active_model
                      s = m.selection
                      sa = s.to_a
                      s.clear
                      sa.each{|e|
                        s.add(e) if e.class == Sketchup;;Face
                      }
                    end#def
                    

                    ans save it in a plain text file called isolatefaces.rb in the ../Plugins/ folder.
                    To run it first select somethings, including faces, and type isolatefaces in the Ruby Console - out of the original selection just the faces are now selected - to erase them press the delete key...
                    🤓

                            That link [ http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=ExtrudeTools ] lets you Download the RBZ of all of the tools - click the RED button.
                            If you have the latest available update for v8 [>=M2] then you can AutoInstall the RBZ contents from the Preferences > Extensions > Install... button [provided you have FULL permissions to the Plugins folder - see this for advice too http://sketchucation.com/resources/tutorials/36-intermediate/811-setting-security-permissions-in-sketchup ]

                                Several of the my "EEby" tools were unexpectedly broken by the way v2017 handles its entities' IDs when exploding a temporary group etc.
                                I have managed to fix almost all of the wayward code [keeping backward compatibility], however there are a few minor issues outstanding and the beta-testing to complete - I have been out of the loop for a week or two with family matters, but I hope to get back onto fixing these tools asap...
