        Hi Tig, I've just noticed that the icon for extrude edges by vector is replaced by the icon from extrude edges by lathe.

        Thanks again for the wonderful plugin!

          It's not like that on my PC.
          The two icons are similar, but the lathe one shows a blue back-face in the circular lathed form...
          Both sized PNGs are also correct.
          Perhaps you are noticing the similarity, but not an exact match ?

              It does work OK.
              What are you trying to do exactly ?
              You need the curved paths and a 'profile' face, with an optional guide-point...
              Perhaps you are making a simple oversight.
              Have you reviewed the usage video ?
              Are there any errors messages or anything printed out in the Ruby Console.

                This looks like an important plugin.

                It seems one thing it could be used for (correct me if I'm wrong) is for fixing holes in a solid identified by SolidInspector... but which tool is appropriate...

                Here I'm trying to plug holes in the underside of a surfboard... it has had the poly count reduced for testing. I want to smooth over those holes:

                  Here's v3.0 http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=ExtrudeTools There are no major changes, but it's now 'signed', and therefore as well as working as before in older SketchUp versions, it is compatible with SketchUp >= v2016, in all 'Extension Loading Policies' [i.e. 'future-proofed']...

                    This is a great plugin! It contains a feature that would be AMAZING as a stand-alone tool: Orient Faces.

                    Do any of your plugins offer Orient Faces as a function that can be applied to free geometry, instead of just working on geometry created by using the plugin?

                    Is there another way to easily orient faces on a mixed-orientation mesh? Please create a stand-alone Orient Faces function to that we can easily fix mixed-face orientation geometry!

                      "Orient" is already a built-in context-menu tool.

                      Select a correctly oriented face and choose the tool from the right-click context-menu.
                      All connected faces are now oriented to match that face.
                      Tip: Turn View > Hidden Geometry ON, so then you can select a single facet for the orientation, because otherwise if the mesh is smoothed it selects en mass...

                      Unfortunately a mesh can only be oriented successfully if every edge in it has only one or two faces.
                      If an edge has three or more faces, then no algorithm can determine what to do, because some faces will never be correctly oriented compared to their neighbors.

                      Because a mesh that is made with a EEby... tool is likely to be 'orientable' it works 'in-code', but it's not guaranteed to be effective on other meshes...
                      Unfortunately "Orient" is NOT accessible in the Ruby API, so I wrote my own.
                      But it's only needed if the orientation of code-generated faces cannot be guaranteed.

                        Icons for this extension are not showing up at all. This is on 2016 Pro version using windows 7. I can access all the tools via extensions but would like to see the icons as before. Used sketucation3.0 to install, tried deleting the rb file and install again but still no icons showing.

                        Any suggestions on what I can do to get the icons to appear again?

                          Did you install it from a downloaded RBZ using Preferences > Extensions > Install Extension...
                          or the equivalent SketchUcation Archive Installer, or directly using the SketchUcation PluginStore dialog within SketchUp ?
                          Having reread your post I see it was the latter.

                          Your supposed problem...

                          If you mean the toolbar is not visible, then you probably need to activate it from its entry in the Toolbar list...

                          If you mean the toolbar appears, but it has blank buttons, then check that there are 22 PNG files in the subfolder - ..\Plugins\ExtrudeTools
                          This seems unlikely because all of the other files used by the tool to make the submenu items etc are also in that subfolder !

                          If there is no toolbar available something is weird... ๐Ÿ˜•

                            Hi Trevor, Yes all the png's appear and yes it is activated with a check to enable it. But I still have no tool bars or icons whatsoever. I tried disabling it, open sketchup again, re enable, open again and still nothing. Something is weird

                            I guess it would be quicker to reinstall SketchUp 2016 and reload all my plugins with sketucation's brilliant plugin store.

                            Thank you for the assistance.

                                Isn't there something about java or some such being up to date for some icons to work?
                                I'm probably wrong but it stuck in my mind.

                                  Hi Brian happy new year to you too ๐Ÿ˜‰ Very funny
                                  Box- that might be it as I was told not to update Java by a friend. Perhaps i need to ignore that advice

                                  Quick questions. I've uninstalled 2016 version. Should I delete everything in my appdata roaming plugins folder? Is there anything there I should leave alone?

                                  Thanks again for all the help.

                                    Reinstalling SU2016 won't change the User/AppData/...SketchUp 2016/Plugins folder, though. Reinstalling SketchUp 2016 seems like a drastic step that's unlikely to fix the problem. Delete the Extrude Tools files from the Plugins folder and install anew with the SCF Plugin Store.

                                      Hi Dave,I already tried deleting and then re installing the extrude tools several times to no avail.

                                      Re install only takes a few minutes as does re installing all my extensions. So it is not too drastic in my opinion. But I'm still not sure if I should delete every single file in the plugins folder or if there is something I should keep there that might be needed or is it okay to simply leave them all as is?

                                        I guess at this point I'd delete the entire Plugins folder from App Data/Roaming... Then install the SCF Plugin Store from a fresh download and use it to install TIG's Extrude Tools. Don't install anything else until testing for icons.
