Looks great, although I'm not really sure whats this plugin good for? (Hey, I ain't bi engineer
)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?
-
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.

I believe that make that

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.
-
In the previous drawing the circles O1 and O2 are known

Sorry, very grateful for your attention!

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