As I have said in some other threads for to Didier's 'packed' plugins...
Edit the plugin's .rb file using Notepad.
At the end of the code it says:
.unpack("m")**.to_s**
change the end part to read
.unpack("m")**[0]**
Save and restart SketchUp...
It should now work fine in any SketchUp version.

Didier has agreed that I might update some of his Plugins in the PluginStore.
Please get the latest version from the PluginStore http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=extrudelinetool-Modified-TIG This is v2014/2015 compatible.

Sketchup 2015 64bit sometimes freezes when I use this.

Ruby Console errors ?
It IS an old script - there are now better solutions.
I updated it for Didier, only for completeness...

No, it just doesn't react any more. This seems to happen particularly if the start point is set not on the selected line, but also sometimes if it is.
Can you recommend an alternative?

Great, thanks! I already had that installed but I must admit I have never really taken a closer look at it, although your plugins are always top notch.

Just to note,

This extension no longer generates face in 2017 version.

I suppose it is just not being updated.

TIG · 23 Jan 2017, 11:17

This a previously reported issue.
It is being updated for v2017 compatibility... just that I haven't finished it yet !
The way v2017 handles references and IDs changed and broke some of the EEby tools...
I have most of them fixed - just tweaking the last few...

There is actually a separate thread discussing this too...

Ah, sorry. I wasn't aware that there is another thread.

Thanks for all the work TIG!

Thanks Tig! I am having same issue with extruding a line to face also.

boofredlay · 15 Mar 2017, 19:51

TIG, any chance you can put this on the front burner? This is one tool I use(d) very frequently and I am missing it.

Thanks.

97% updated...
I have to earn a crust too...

Extrude line(s) is maybe the more useful tool in case of headache's situation!
And of course with the new Quads world of SUbD !
(works yet fine in 2015, 2016!
