      Hi - new to sketch up and SketchuNation. Trying to install your Weld extension, but I am getting an "Outdated Signature" error. Even in unrestricted mode it will not load, and my Google search did not help much. Any thoughts?

        I should load in Unrestricted mode.
        It installed and runs just fine for me too [PC v2017]
        It's one of the one's that's not yet been re-signed for full v2017 compatibility.
        Thanks for the reminder.
        I'll get it re-signed and posted in the PluginStore...
        Watch for an update today...

              Use the Dowmload link button, that's just two posts ago - this goes to its entry in the SketchUcation PluginStore.
              Then Download its latest RBZ file from there.

              It should work in v2015...

              Use Preferences > Extensions > Install Extension... button
              [Note that in v2017 this has changed to Window > Extension Manager... etc]

              Find the downloaded RBZ and install it.

              When it's installed 'TIG-weld' is an extension.
              Check that it is activated in the Extensions dialog...

              When installed and activated it has a menu item under:

              Tools > TIG-weld

              There is no Toolbar or context-menu entry for this tool.

              You refer to a .rb file - if you mean the customized example RB attached to an earlier post please ignore that and get the last v3.0 RBZ from the link...
              You should always get the latest RBZ from the PluginStore...

                    just go to the pluginstore, search for weld, select the approriate option, download

                    Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

                        It should work in all current SketchUp versions [pro/free], including those which are no longer supported like v8.
                        Remember that v2017 Make is available if your OS can run it ?
                        That is the last free desktop version available for personal non-commercial use.
                        With v2018 its 'free' version is web-based, and currently does not support plugins/extensions...

                          Hi TIG:
                          Would there be a chance of upgrading TIG-Weld?

                          1- When welding, if there are two of more adjacent segments that are colinear/coplanar then have them changed into a single, straight segment. This would help in: the general cleanup of unnecessary geometry, lowering file size, and eliminating undesired snapping points.

                          I suppose there should be user-defined setting available for this option that would continue to be active unless the user decides later on to turn the option off.

                          2- Could it also appear in the Selection Context menu?

                          Thanks for your consideration,
                          John
