      As a bit of a primitive learning experience, I tossed together a simple toolbar for this tool. I've tested under su8 on win7 though I can't see much reason it would fail on other setups.

      I used a magnet icon 24x24 which seems to work well when snapped next to other toolbars but it looks off kilter if the toolbar is floating.

      I have a decent amount of programming experience but zero w/ ruby and this is the first Sketchup ruby work I've done so please don't crush me if this toolbar doesn't work to expectations.

      Other than the toolbar code added in, the plugin is exactly the same as the most recent version of the plugin listed by the author. I stole the code from Frank Wiesner and Tig's mirror.rb script and modified it for this tool and supplied an icon that I grabbed off the internet.

      The attached .zip contains the modified .rb script and the .png icon file. Both go loose in the Sketchup plugins folder. Please feel free to modify the icon and use your own. Name it spp.png and you won't even have to change the .rb. Also please feel free to modify the code...

      Hope this helps somebody...

          Which version is the latest?

          The top one would be logical but the bottom one has version that is much higher than the second one.

          I am going to guess at the bottom one.

          But a big Thanks,

          Ralph

              This is a cool plugin. Can someone advise if there is a version where native SU inferencing works with this tool?

              I downloaded the one from the original post from a4chitect and the inferencing does not work.

                To make this plugin useful there needs to be a way to choose the axes inference lines before doing the operation. As it is, it seems useful on simpler shapes where there is only one inference line per vertex, but otherwise it usually doesn't get the result I would hope for.

                        Is there a SmartPushPull that works with SU2016?

                            I will not claim that the FBI is extracting ideas from inside my mind. But I had infact developed a similar push pull tool some years back, but with a more native feel to it. Actually I also called it Smart Push Pull. It does not leave traces and it is completely fluid in operation. However it has some problems with antiprismatic prismatoids (OK, it sounds really scientific, but we make these shapes really often), and so I decided not to upload it to rubits. I have however looked at the script again recently, and I also have a few extra tricks up the sleeve that I think could improve the Push Pull tool, so I might release a version of it soon. I will tell you if I do get around to it.

                            Haha, I've also been working on this but I've been calling mine pressdrag instead of pushpull 😛 . My intention is a tool that looks and feels almost identical to native pushpull, i.e. live preview and an option for moving/creating new faces. Should I continue working on it?

                              I think you should develop your plugin for the following reasons:

                              1. You have a good reputation for the plugins you have produced to date.
                                You are a "known" developer among SketchUp users.

                              2. Your plugin would be suitable for SU 2017. You are more likely to maintain
                                your plugin for future SketchUp versions. Continuity and maintenance of your plugin
                                are important to the user of SketchUp plugins.

                              The general weakness with numerous plugins or extensions is:

                              1. varying skill levels of the developers
                              2. different methods of layout and process increase the difficulty
                                of using multiple plugins or extensions
                              3. Instruction videos, manuals or information sheets vary greatly in quality and clarity.

                              Hope this gives you more insight into one "SketchUp users" point of view and why
                              I would like you to develop your plugin
