      Is it possible the construction lines are inside your cylinder? What do you see if you switch to X-ray face style?

          Weird.

          I'm on my Mac right now but it is playing fine for me. I'll check on my PC when I get home. Have you installed the most recent version?

            Ive installed the ToolsOnSurface16c found on Ruby library depot. Ive tried installing the one uploaded in this website, but it doesn't start. All it says on the command line is "Loading all Ruby files for plugin Tools on Surface", tried waiting to load, but still nothing.

              Oh, what I meant by it doesnt start is Tools on surface appears, but when I click it, it doesnt do anything, all it shows in the command line is "Loading all Ruby files for plugin Tools on Surface"

                That makes me think you have either a plugin installation problem or perhaps incorrectly set permissions for the Plugins folder. Perhaps you could make a screen shot of Windows Explorer showing the Plugins folder and its contents as well as a screen shot of the Security tab under Properties for the Plugins folder.

                    Maybe we're onto something. Or just on something. πŸ˜„

                    The fact that 'Compatibility files' shows in the top row of buttons in your screenshot of the Plugins folder indicates insufficient privileges for you. And in the second screenshot it appears you don't have full permissions to the folder. Click on Compatibility files and restart SketchUp. See if that changes anything. You might as well change your permissions to Full for the Plugins folder which you would do by clicking the Edit button under the Security tab.

                          Hey fredo, I need a little bit of help installing the tool, I can't open the zip folder because it says it's some archive or it's invalid, could you change the extension for it?

                            I would suggest you install via the SCF Plugin Store tool. This is really the safest way.

                              NEW RELEASE: Tools on Surface 2.0a- 12 Nov 13

                              This release is mainly for future Sketchup compatibility. No functional change.

                              You will need to migrate to LibFredo6 5.4 or higher

                              Please see main post for download

                                        I have looked around and I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else. When I try to draw shapes on a sphere (smooth or not), faces get deleted randomly. Sometimes I can get it to come back with the line tool, but sometimes I can't. Am I missing something?

                                            This example is 2" wide, the one I was working on is 4". Is that the issue? It just needs to be bigger?
