Hi, how are you.
First of all I wanted to thank you for your work and collaboration.
Second excuse my English, I only speak Spanish and the translator helped me.
I wanted to ask you two things.
1- Is there a way to offset only one edge.
Currently the offset is done around the entire contour and many times it is only necessary to do it with one edge.
I am attaching an image so that you understand me better.
2- I am trying to make a line by selecting two points on the edges of the surface but the edge of the surface is curved.
He draws the straight line and it is correct because it is a line, but if the line passes through a place where there is no surface he should give an option to draw the straight line or draw it on the surface.
I am attaching an image so that you understand me better.Well if there is any solution, I appreciate if you help me how to do it, if not, you should add these options, it would be very good.

Hello,
Do I need to purchase a license before getting access to the free trial? I just installed it for the first time and I am getting a "Free trial expired on March 25" error. Can you please advise?
Thank you. -

Did you first install the current version of the Sketchucation ExtensionStore tool?

Olá,
I'm having trouble activating the purchased plugin. I followed all the steps indicated by you, but it still didn't work.
In the "global status of plugins" tab, my license does not appear.How could I proceed? Thanks
Do you have the current version of LibFredo6 and the Sketchucation Tool installed? Have you restarted SketchUp? What version of SketchUp are you actually using? Your profile says 2021 Free/Make but there is no such version.

O que você fez com seus arquivos de licença?
Você os armazenou em seu computador e os 'validou' para a extensão relacionada usando o item de menu relevante?
Mais informações são necessárias para estabelecer seu problema exato...What have you done with your license files ?

More info is needed to establish your exact problem... -
When I draw a line on even a very simple surface, Tools on surface takes an enormous amount of time to complete the task. I'm running on a very powerful workstation with lots of ram, and the last test I ran had only two faces. Any idea what causes this behavior?

Still SketchUp 2018? What graphics card? Can you share you simple model?

Hi Dave - thanks for your response - Here's more specific info:
Sketchup Pro 2021, 21.1.299 (classic perpetual license)
Intel Core i9 10900K, 3.7GHz, 64GB ram,
Windows 10 Pro. RTX 3090, (528.02 driver)LibFredo6 13.9a, Tools on Surface 2.5a. Fresh install.
The plugin works fine on my workstation in a model with very little geometry.
It also works fine on the somewhat less powerful workstation of my coworker,
who is working on an identical copy of the file I am working on. (???)
He is using a slightly older copy of Sketchup Pro 21.0.391. (Subscription plan) -

I am now downloading the latest drivers. Will let you know if it helps.

A solid graphics card with good OpenGL support. The Nvidia GeForce and GTX-series graphics cards have always been recommended for SketchUp. Integrated GPUs such as the ones you are using have never been recommended because they historically have poor OpenGL support and because they are using CPU RAM instead of dedicated RAM for graphics processing.Based on the GPUs your coworker's computer would be a better choice for SketchUp.

Just a note - if by "integrated GPU" you mean an on-board GPU, my RTX card is a dedicated separate unit like my coworker's GPU, using a PCI Express slot on the motherboard. The RTX 3090 is a fairly powerful unit with 24GB dedicated ram.
Did I rightly understand what you meant by "Integrated GPU"?Second note - updated to newest driver (Studio) and still have very poor performance - but in fairness to Tools On Surface - my performance is slower in every aspect than my coworker's machine.
Perhaps the RTX cards have an issue here? I appreciate your time looking into this with me Dave.
