      By chance, can you check in the menu View>Toolbar if you have a toolbar named "Surface Operations" and if it is checked.

        Yep, I have that checked.. that little 'dash thing' that shows up (as shown earlier in the image with the arrow) is what shows up when I have 'Surface Operations' checked

          in these cases i move all the plugins to another folder and keep only the troubling one.

          give it a try if you still have a problem, redownload the plugin and re-try. if still no good you can try re-installing SU - wouldn't kow what else..

            hmmmm turns out I found the problem... For some reason I had extracted the files into the tools directory instead of the plugins directory

                  Any news about the double line you mentioned for V1.4 ?

                  Thanks

                    This will come, but not before end of Sep (actually, it should do more than double, and on any contour). I did not spend a lot of time recently on Rubys, but should try to resume soon, with some work on Web dialogs as well.
                    I also solved the question of generating faces when drawing lines on surfaces.

                      Well that's strange, I'm using the tool right now to offset from a shape on a curved face. However, for some reason it thinks that the object is part of the face too, and thus is offsetting over that face. That's (obviously) not what I want...

                        Not sure I understand the problem.
                        Just in case, there is an option 'Isolate surface when extending' which is mapped on F7 and also available in the contextual menu. This allows ignoring the surrounding surface when you offset.

                          Thanks Fredo; I'll try that next.

                          I'm getting this error too. Is there anything I forgot to extract?

                          @unknownuser said:

                          Error Loading File LibOnSurface.rb

                          uninitialized constant SUToolsOnSurface::CODE_Rectangle

                          [EDIT] Hmmm... didn't work. The problem is that in the last screenshot, you can see a blue line that comes through the object (default color). That's the face I want to offset. When I do so, it thinks that that object is the same as the cilinder on which I am trying to offset. This results in a few lines on the cilinder (the grey area), but then all of a sudden the lines makes a strange turn, goes over the object (the default color thing), and when it touches the grey area again, it goes back to the beginning. I want that blue lined face to extrude, not anything else ๐Ÿ˜

                                Does it happen with all tools?
                                Does it happen before, while or after you did the drawing?

                                Any other 64-bits Windows user having the same problem?

                                          At the moment, I am struggling around all the bugs that the Sketchup API has on Mac.
                                          So unless I release just for Windows....
