      Hello Tig,
      ".......there seems to be a problem with intersecting lines not being split as normal, and faces not being split as normal by the double line".
      Would it be possible to break up the lines as suggested by this comment quoted above....?
      If possible---and with our thanks.
      David

        I have installed the latest version from the Extension Warehouse but it does not work.

        I am on Mac OS X 10.10 and the latest version of SU 2015.

          Edson, it's working with Yosemite on my mac...

          is it appearing in the Draw menu?

          is it drawing anything?

            hi john,

            yes, it appears on the Draw menu and the toolbar is ok. at first it seemed not to be working because I was drawing at too small a scale.

            after making sure it is working I ran a few tests and the only thing I could not do is to close a set of walls upon itself. in general it does not close and when it does the corner is not healed (see image attached). perhaps I am doing something wrong.

            on the other hand, drawing from a selection works fine.

            thanks.

                this is what I cannot achieve. when I double-click there appears a third line on the ground and I have to press return for the wall to appear. the corner remains unhealed as in the attached image.

                  Negative height: This happens when you draw a wall on an existing face. this is normal, the workaround is to ask for making a group in the dialog box, or create a group with the existing face you want to draw on.

                  Well, sorry to say it happens even if the face is in a group. Quite annoying.

                    Just for info. Here, on 10.10.5, double-clicking closes and heals alright.
                    Hum... if a third line appears, it means a third single point has been clicked, I'd say.
                    To make a closed triangular wall, the process is : click = start, click = 1st line, double-click = walls.
                    As you probably figured out by now.

                      mario,

                      double-click does not work for me. the walls only appear after I press return. and then not completely healed (see attached image). very odd.

                      the only way to get healed walls is to use the double line from selection option.

                          you can find it at Draw>Double Line>Double Line from selection or in the toolbar at View>Toolbar Palettes>Double Line (third icon down).

                            Well, as you said, odd it is. There is no Double Line from selection sub/option under Draw. AND no toolbar
                            Do we have the same version of it ?
                            Mine is from a fresh download from Sketchucation Store, D.Bur, Double Line v6X

                              Works fine from Draw menu (except it's "Draw>Double Line" not "Draw>Double Line>Double Line", but there is no toolbar called "Paletts" (or "Double Line" as could be expected).

                              I note that it says "third icon down". This seems to imply that "Paletts" is a master toolbar perhaps loaded by another extension?

                                  there you have it Bob: the Double Line toolbar and the menu item View>Tool Palettes. as already mentioned, "a Mac thing."

                                    Edson, I just realised we are using different versions...

                                    mine is from here [without the toolbar] but works...

                                    yours is from Extension Warehouse , so I just installed it and it fails to close the wall as you describe...

                                      I wonder if we could get some help from Didier, the author, or from TIG.

                                        the one with the toolbar is scrambled, so you'll need to PM Didier...

                                        Tig's update to the old one works fine,but is lacking some features...

                                          huh... Edson, I see you have 1001bit. What do you think of the wall tool in there ? Quite similar to Dline, no ?

                                            I use it from time to time and quite like it. the problem i find with it is that each time you use it you have to go adain over many steps to get it in drawing mode. it remembers the last parameters used, though.

                                            if I remember well I started using it after Double Line pissed me off.

                                            by the way, 1001bit is full of very useful tools.
