[Plugin][$] Tools On Surface - v2.6a - 01 Apr 24

CadFather

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

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...

fredo6

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?

[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

I like te tool a lot.. but when I try to use I get a bug splat Avery time...

Is it ma by because I am using 64bit pc???

Hope someone can help

fredo6

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?

Chris Fullmer

I'm on 64bit Vista and I use the script with no problems.

Hi Fredo

I was late finding this thread and didn't know about this ruby. Awesome!Thanks.

fredo6

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

plot-paris

I would be happy with that

great to hear, that you are still on it Fredo. I am looking forward to the new release

fredo6

As a hint, it will be 27 working days before the release of SU7

Gaieus

And then you can start re-writing the whole script for compatibility issues
