      Just construction points? You can try native Su tool! GO to Edit menu / Delete guides.
      You can also copy this code below in the ruby console... It will delete all construction points in the selection.

      Sketchup.active_model.selection.each{|e|e.erase! if e.class==Sketchup;;ConstructionPoint}
      

      πŸ˜‰

      Frenglish at its best !

        Hi Fredo!
        I suppose you will move your menus in "Fredo collection" in your next TOS update, like freescale plugin ? ❓
        That would be cool, and also your push pull plugin!
        Sans titre 1.jpgExcellent plugin, as always, sir! πŸ˜„ Thank you...

          good tip: it is something I had forgotten.. > but the construction lines and points, they are all deleted from the overall model. Something we want not to be each time.

          This is just the good code: construction lines remain and every construction point inside selection are removed. Would you please make it as a .rb dear Matt? (I'm complet ignorant upon this ). It would be so greatfull!
          :-)simon

                Hi there I would like to make some drawings on a sphere. I downloaded the plugin but when I start up SU this comes up

                no such file to load -- /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/BZ_Dir_12/bezierspline_main.rbError Loading File bezierspline.rb
                no such file to load -- /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/BZ_Dir_12/bezierspline_main.rb
                

                I downloaded the plugin into /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins; and I didn't change the name of the folder, but it is named: ToolsOnSurface_131-1

                what should I do??[/quote]

                  Kus,

                  Seems you had a problem with the unzip operation.
                  For Tools on Surface you must have only 2 elements in the Sketchup Plugins folder:

                  • a small file: ZLoader_OnSurface.rb
                  • a folder: TOS_Dir_13, with other rb files in it (and some subfolders).

                  I suggest you check your files and redo the Unzip, with a Select All and then Extract, to make sure your preserve the folder hierarchy when unzipping.

                  Fredo

                    Hey, I've followed the quickcards installment guide but upon opening Sketchup it isn't running Tools On Surface, I'm not given any loading error or anything, it simply doesn't run, any help?

                          Hi,
                          I seem to have a problem too. I can see the toolbar but the offset doesn't work (Su7,7.0.102470), the line-on surface does, but nothing else seems to work.
                          I'm not familiar with ruby, but it feels like some setting might be wrong (like a variable in Autocad).

                          Later..
                          Just being stupid, I forgot to load in "preferences". Works like a charm!

                                  Use the 'Ring' capability of the TOS shapes. In the VCB, you type an length, posititive or negative' followed by 'x', and you get the shape contour with the specificed offset. This is explained in the doc, in the Shapes section (page 9).
                                  Hope this answers your question.

                                        Am I doing something wrong? I place CadFather icons in the TOS v13 folder but I still get Fredo icons. I don't mind really but I wonder what is happening.

                                          The folder is named TOS_Dir_13. I guess this is what you mean.
                                          I also assume that:

                                          • you unzipped correctly the CadFather icons into the folder (can you check the right files are there)
                                          • you restarted Sketchup
                                          • if you use both SU6 and SU7, you did not mix up the file copy.

                                          Otherwise, this looks strange. You can always delete all the png files in the folder and replace them by CadFather's files.

                                          Fredo

                                            I extracted the Cadfather icons into the TOS_Dir_13. I deleted your icons to be sure I restarted sketchup but I still get your icons.
