      The difference is that you have "Display endpoints" turned on, and mine are off.

      Now the weird part.
      I set my line styles by a toolbar addin that has several types of line styles to select from.
      It is supposed to replicate the menu items standard in SU. In this case, VIEW - EDGE STYLES.

      But my SU menu does NOT have "Display Endpoints" which is very surprising.

      Mind you, I have been using SU for many years and with a lot of addons, to the extent that now I really don't know what many functions are native SU or part of an addon.

      ![Toolbar "Display Endpoints" not in SU menu](/uploads/imported_attachments/G1ze_Scrn-Cap474.jpg "Toolbar "Display Endpoints" not in SU menu")

      Maybe someone else can explain this, but I cannot find "Display Endpoints" in any SU menu.

        Endpoints and Extensions are controlled in the Styles window which you can get to via the Window menu or in the Default Tray in SU2016 for PC.

        Screenshot - 3_14_2016 , 1_40_00 PM.png

        there are many more style setting options available in the Styles window than you can access through the View menu.

          Thank you Dave.

          I looked quickly at Styles, but not at that level below.

              Hello,

              I was excited finally to use this wonderful tool, but then this:

              ToolsOnSurface 2.2a: Error starting up plugin (creating menus and icons)
              undefined method declare_topmenu' for #<Traductor::Plugin:0x007fe1c8dcf6e8> [in bootstrap_OnSurface.rb: - #startup(): line 324]

              /Users/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp/Plugins/Fredo6_!LibFredo6/Lib6Core.rb:959:in `rescue in block in effective_load_part2'

              can someone help me? Thank you!

              Greetz

                Did you install it from the latest downloaded RBZ using the Preferences > Extensions > Install Extensions... button ?

                Did you also install the latest LibFredo ?

                This Library is needed by almost all of Fredo's tools...

                Install and restart SketchUp to see what happens...

                  If you have copied older files over from another SketchUp version you might have some old files ?
                  I suggest you open your Plugins folder and manually delete any subfolders and loader RB files that clearly relate to Fredo's tools/lib and reinstall them all.

                  Fredo will probably chip in when he reads this...

                    I get an error when I install this: "Installation of fredo6_ToolsOnSurface is probably incorrect. Subfolder is missing." Any insight from anyone?

                      How are you attempting to install it? What version of SketchUp? What operating system? Your profile doesn't say. If you want help you have to give us some useful information.

                        Yes, trying to install this extension. Su 2016 + Windows 7 Pro. And I see the same error message when try to install some of the Fredo's other extensions as well; topo shaper, visu hole and the animator. Others install ok.

                            Trying to install through the sketchucation extension store 3.0... See the warning popup... Each time I try to install the extension this error message pops up. I tried installing through using the *.rbz file as well (with the skecthucation archive installer) but the same result. This same error message pops up when i try to install Fredo's Visu hole, toposhaper and animator extensions as well. Any more information?

                                Ok, Just tested it on SU2017, works great (found no bug splats so far). To have more control over primitives in SU isn't only a major time saver, but a necessity most of the time. Yea, I'm new to SU (came over from the VFX industry, modeling with different packages -LW, Maya, MAX, etc...). Don't get me wrong, SU is wonderful, but some it's tools are a bit lacking (user control wise) IMHO... Sure, SU is geared towards a different market (I get it).

                                That being said, I'm really glad you (and others) have taken the time to develop these plugins & tool sets that improve upon SU's functionality.

                                So far I've DL'ed and installed 3 of you're plugins (will DL all of them this weekend).

                                Joint Push Pull.
                                RoundCorner.
                                Tools On Surface.

                                All are doing their thing in ver.2017 without issues

                                Thanks again,

                                -Terry

                                  Take a good look at Curviloft and its associated tools. 😍

                                    I also have this same problem and error- install through sketchucation extension manager 3.0, sketchup pro 2016, windows 10 Pro

                                    The sketchucation manager shows they're installed, but no drop down in windows- extensions, and no toolbar.

                                    There are other extensions downloaded through trimbles extension manager in the same plugin folder that work fine, so it's not the location.

                                    Thanks!

                                          Really? See my post immediately above yours. downloading the extension is very clearly spelled out under the word Download with the red arrow in the yellow box in the first post of this thread.
