      Solo,

      very nice illustration of what you can do by combining JPP and the Tools on Surface.
      Would you mind if I take the picture and put it in the documentation?

      Fredo

          Macs,

          I understand. This is due to a problem in Sketchup when you create a curve made of edges on an existing edge (you can check this is the case when you generate in a group and then explode). I'll try to fix it.
          By default, the script generates curves for each line drawn. If you deactivate this option (key F9), it works correctly.

                      Hi fredo...

                      About the offset on surface the external offset deletes the original surface... is there a way to keep the original surface like in the previous version? In the image I put in "1" the external offset, in "2" the actual result and in "3" what i´m trying to get.

                      About the icons and cursors i tried to make them.. but i can´t do the ones with Cline. The ones i can don´t look very good... but i post them here.

                            Sorry for this. I fixed the bug and reloaded on the first message of this thread.

                                great! this is very useful on not-curved-surfaces because you don't have to worry about intersecting with other lines!

                                  This tool also is much better at making .png cut-outs than the regular SU tool.

                                      Have you ever tried to draw around a complex shape and the line occasionally changes axis thus not closing?, well this hugs the surface and those issues are a thing of the past.

                                        Fair enough, i'll admit i havent done a lot of cutting out with .pngs, but when i did do it i didnt find the freehand tool to bad. Obviously need to do more 2d components 👍

                                          Fredo, here's some icons - see if you like them...

                                          i noticed that the draw line cursor is the same as the draw line icon on the toolbar.

                                          this is not good because the sizes differ (toolbars are 24x24 - cursors 32x32)
                                          so i created a cursor called 'ofs_draw_Dline.png' - you just need to tweak the script to fit this update and then the tip of the pencil will fall right on the line as you draw.

                                          cheers
