Hi Tomasz,

I was installed Fredo Additional Plugin folder plugin http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=345150#p345150
and have a problem with finding icons if I use your plugin in another dir.

Its only work with Sketchup 2013/Plugins place. Can you look at this?

Regards,
Daniel

This is an old script...
You are unlikely to get it chnaged now...
BUT you can adjust the tool's code yourself.
It is quite easy...
Open the file frontface.rb using Notepad, or another plain text editor like Notepad++ - BUT NEVER USE a word-processor!

Near the beginning there are three lines that setup the button icons [#36/40/44]
The first line reads:
cursor_path = Sketchup.find_support_file("FrontFaceCursor.png", "Plugins/FrontFace_files")
You must rewrite it to read:
cursor_path = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "FrontFace_files", "FrontFaceCursor.png")
so it now looks in a folder named FrontFace_files that is in the folder with the .rb file [wherever that is located], rather than always the main Plugins folder as the original code sets.
The other two entries for cursor_path = need to be similarly recast, using: FrontFaceCursorOff and FrontFace_OnDef for the .png respectively...

Hi TIG,
thanks for help, I do it like you wrote

class FrontFaceTool

def initialize
@ip = Sketchup::InputPoint.new

cursor_path = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__) ,"FrontFace_files","FrontFaceCursor.png"	
if cursor_path
	@cursor_on = UI.create_cursor(cursor_path, 12, 12)
end


cursor_path = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__) ,"FrontFace_files","FrontFaceCursorOff.png"	
if cursor_path
	@cursor_off = UI.create_cursor(cursor_path, 12, 12)
end


cursor_path = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__) ,"FrontFace_files","FrontFace_OnDef.png"		
if cursor_path
	@cursor_on_def= UI.create_cursor(cursor_path, 12, 12)
end

end

and receive this error message, have you any idea?

THX

You have mistyped.
It should be:
cursor_path = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "FrontFace_files", "FrontFaceCursor.png"**)**
The error message tells you the error...
Add the final ) to the three lines and it will work OK...

Is the current FaceFront ruby current with SU 2015 version? I downloaded it and installed it in my Plug in file but it doesn't show up. Any thoughts

Hi Tom,

Small world.

So did you try installing it with the SCF PluginStore plugin? Or did you download the file as .rbz from here?
