          Well there are 66 lines of explanations and more than 10 images in the first TIG's post, plus 5 pages of thread so...seriously? πŸ˜‰

            If you really need these tools then you'll already understand what they do... otherwise don't bother installing the toolset...

                Thanks TIG! I don't think I've ever seen such thorough explanations of plugin functionality. Much appreciated.

                    Hi TIG. I installed TrueTangents via latest SketchUcation Plugin Store. It works, but why are the tool-tips displayed in the Ruby console and not in the status bar?
                    Latest SU Pro, Win 7 64 bit latest.
                    Thanks.

                      This toolset was originally designed to run from the Ruby Console, or from within other methods - so the tools' guidance/errors go into the Ruby Console, rather than the status-bar or an error message-box...
                      It's the same in all SketchUp versions - it's not v2014 specific.

                              Is it possible to draw an arc tangent to two others?
                              Thank you very much

                                Do you mean a common-tangent to three arcs ?

                                It will be possible in some 'special' cases, but then you can contrive three arcs which can never all share a common-tangent...

                                Please give a clear example...
                                Or explain your question more clearly...

                                  I mean to draw an arc tangent to two circles.
                                  Like in the image.

                                        It would also be interesting if it allows solving situations like this:
