      Wow, Thank you, gentlemen. Quicker replies than I expected.

      @ Box: That was my first instinct, but I guess I psyched myself out and decided it couldn't be that simple, so I didn't even think to try.

      @Dave R: Yeah, I suppose I could do that. Except that I didn't just plain didn't like SU8 when it came out.

      Anyway, thanks, both of you.

      Edit: Thanks Mitcorb. Looks like we cross-posted there. I'll report back on whether it works with 7.1

      Just to clarify; I may finally switch over to SU 8 when I finally get the new machine I've been trying to get for over a year. Right now, this thing is a delicate balance in order to even keep the machine running, and it's not worth it to muck about with SU 8 when I'm sooner or later going to be redoing everything anyway.

      Thanks, all

        Like Dave said. Many people hang on to their earlier versions of Sketchup.

        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

          Update: Works beautifully under 7.1! This solves so many problems...Thanks awfully much, Trogluddite. THis does exactly everything I have wanted a lathe plugin to do without any major identifiable problems. Definitely going in my must have plugins file.

          @ Mitcorb. It could be worse, I could be one of those Paleo-Luddites who still uses SU 5!

            You're welcome - and thankyou for "Beta testing" in SU7; I never used any of the older versions, but the guys are right, it should be made clear whether it is back-compatible (and Mac compatible for that matter - something else I haven't been able to test).

            Just to let everyone know - the new version with snazzy user interface and proper "arc push-pull" feature is still in the pipeline; but certain personal circumstances have left me without much time for Rubying for a few weeks - but it is not "abandon-ware"!

                Why don't you post at least a screen shot of what you're trying to accomplish? Your description is not clear.

                  Thankyou Trogluddite for the amazing plugin. I always wanted to draw with something more advanced than the follow me tool ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ˜„

                    Doesn't work for me. Once in a while I get the expected shape if I start with the simplest of shapes, but most of the time I get "Error in Quick Lathe: undefined method 'position' for #<sketchup::Edge:0x113...44".

                    I'm using SketchUp Pro 2013, Version 13.0.4811. Is ther an update?

                      Maybe you could post an example SKP file where it fails?
