      Hi FREDO ,Thanks a lot for this Magnificent gift. Following the PDF I was traying to reproduce the "section pie" but I could not .How did you do? Thanks "

      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.

                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.

                  Maybe you still run TOS 1.2.
                  Can you check the file ZLoader__onSurface.rbto verify that it contains the correct reference to TOS_Dir_13 (alternately, reinstall the plugin, making sure you overwrite all files, including ZLoader__onSurface.rb).

                    I remember that a week ago I installed Offset On Surface version 1.0. Then I installed TOS version 1.1(That one has the toolbar that I want to get rid of) I eliminated both plugins before installing v1.3 except for LibTraductor.rb. Btw, the new icons overwrote yours but there was still some old icons of yours leftover.

                      Fredo, I noticed something else. I have SU v7 and I have this other plugin with a SU example. This example file is of SU v6.4 and to my surprise I can see CadFather icons there! But not in my SU v7.

                      UPDATE

                      Fredo, I uninstalled all the plugins that I downloaded to see if there was a conflict. I reinstalled your plugin first with CadFather icons and voila it worked!! So, it seems that there was a conflict with another plugin. I will go ahead and reinstall one by one the rest of the plugins too see which one is the culprit. I'll let you know.

                      UPDATE #2

                      Fredo, the second plugin I reinstalled was your FredoScale 2.0g and now I get a warning message in SU:

                      undefined method []' for nil:NilClassError Loading File ZLoader__OnSurface.rb undefined method []' for nil:NilClass

                        NEW VERSION 1.5a - 17 Sep 09
                        The main evolution is the addition of a Button palettefor better visualizing and modifying the various options of each tool. Freehandalso gets a Point & Click mode, which makes it equivalent to a Polyline On Surface, With and Without inferences (easier to draw over images).
                        See attachment and documentation in main post of this thread at http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=11212#p76625

                        ToolsOnSurface 1.5 requires to install LibFredo6 3.4 or higher.

                              Never mind, I found it. My settings were preventing me from going back to the first page.

                              By the way, thank you very much.

                                            Wow Fredo. That freehand tool looks incredible. I'm wondering if a similar algorithm could be used to automatically extract a traced cutout from a transparent .png image....by locating the pixel data. Make a rectangle, drop a .png texture on it, run the plugin and be left with a polygon the shape of the transparent image.

                                            Sorry for the digression, just thinking of how amazing that pixel identification technique is and what other purposes it could serve.

                                            Thanks for the update for TOS!!! ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘
