OMG! you work tirelessly to make Sketchup the tool that it is today! Hail!

Thanks Fredo6! very useful plugin!

Now, Fredo, I totally get rid of my native "Draw" toolbar and replace it with yours!

Thanks a bunch!

On Matt666's suggestion (right before I released), it could be possible to configure ToolsOnSurface as an extension of Sketchup (like Sandbox), which you can turn on and off from the Menu Preferences--> Extensions.

This way, you can decide whether you want to load it, or can turn it off when you troubleshoot your plugins.

As I don't know what would be the best for users, I would simply ask all of you about what you think is more appropriate.

For the version configured as Extension, you just need to replace the file ZLoader__OnSurface.rbwith the one attached in the Sketchup plugins directory.

Also, I indicate the time of loading the ToolsOnSurface scriptsin the About menu item of the ToolsOnSurface menu. Can you check if you see abnormal load times in your environment(on mine it is below 100 ms)

Thanks for your feedback

Fredo

Hi Fredo,

Although I have removed all older files and folders, every time I click on any of the tools the first time I start SU it gives this popup:

Not a very big deal however, since it only pops up once in a session - just telling...

Frederik

I have same issue as Csaba...
Strange thing is, that I haven't any of the sub-folders mentioned (TOS and/or OFS), since I haven't installed previous versions of this plug-in...

It's no big deal, but I assume that it's something that will be fixed soon..?!?

Any way... THANKS for another GREAT plug-in..!!

Mistake!

The Warning message is simply a bug. Thanks to signal it and sorry for that.
I have updated the Zip file in the main message of this thread. I also integrate the code to make the script a proper Sketchup Extension, based on a suggestion from Matt666. You'll need to activate the script after first installation in the Preferences-Extension dialog box.

Hope this is fine now

Fredo

OK, thanks Fredo! - and again, for this great tool!

I did too fast. The bug was still present.
The correct version is now online in the main message (after 12h45 today)

Gaieus

Never mind - I have not downloaded it yet anyway because I had other stuff to finish first

Wow Fredo, more fantastic stuff!!

Edson,

It looks like you have something rescued from version 1.1. Did you delete the older files?
