      Thank you TIG as always.
      Some humble sugestion if I may:
      Your scripts would gain even more popularity if you'd put concentrated set of gif's (like this for example http://www.polyboost.com/)

      There are several movie tut's 'in progress' - meanwhile there are quite a lot of static step-by-step tut's...

          Have you kept all of the icon image/lingvo files [~51 of them] etc in the TIGtools subfolder inside Plugins - not having done so is the usual cause of this issue... Do a new install, extract the zip file's contents into a temporary folder - perhaps on your Desktop - keeping all the files in the appropriate subfolder. Then move or copy that subfolder and the other rb files into Plugins folder... If this fixes it then I suggest you look through the Plugins folder and tidy up any files that are in TIGtools and also incorrectly installed in there 🤓

            hi
            thank you for the great great plugin. i was trying to make a tent structure with it but i couldn't do it.
            here i attached the sketchup file. i'd be really glad if you could check it out and tell me if it's possible to make a tent out of it or ....not.
            thanks

              EEbyEdges is not the right tool to make that form.
              Try its cousin - EEbyRails - and make each side one of four meshes, as this example Capture.PNG

                    Hi, irwanwr:
                    In answer to your question and based on the image by TIG above, this plugin "Extrude Edges by Edges" is not the one. As TIG showed in that image, you would need "Extrude Edges by Rails" and assemble the form.
                    I also replied in your Carnival Tent posting.

                    I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                        It works fine for me ?
                        How large are your grouped arcs ?
                        Can you post your simple SKP for us to test...Capture.PNG

                            Yes. 😒
                            Most scripts as cross platform, they clearly say if they aren't...
                            Make sure you are putting things into the MAC's HD path 'plugins' folder NOT the 'user' one, and extracting files preserving subfolders etc as clearly spelled out in the instructions...
                            🤓

                                This link gets you the ZIP file http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663 that includes ALL of my 'Extrusion' tools...
                                If you are brave you can follow the link's instructions... and move the extracted files/subfolder_of_files into your 'Plugins' folder and restart Sketchup...
                                If you are complete novice then may I suggest that you go here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=375454#p375454 and firstly install the 'simple-installer' - its installation/use is very clearly explained in that thread - to install it use the Window > Preferences > Extensions > Install_Archive... button - selecting the tool's RBZ file...
                                Once that's installed it and restarted Sketchup you can use it to install any scripts/zip/rbz/etc you might download... it beats using any brain cells... 😒

                                  Hi Thank you for your nice plugins..

                                  Don't know what's wrong with it but when I try to use 'ExtrudeEdgesByEdge' I'm keep getting 'Select 2 Groups of Edges ! ....' even I already have two grouped edges selected...

                                    Please post a simple example SKP that you can't get to work...
                                    We can then test it and see where you are going wrong...
                                    Remember that you must have two groups-of-edges.
                                    Those groups must both contain edges - they cannot be inside a subgroup or component-instance.
                                    The groups must be in the same 'context'.
                                    Only select the two groups, nothing else.
                                    They must be able to be extruded into a 3d form.
                                    So two 'flat' sets won't achieve much...

                                            Do you have the latest version installed? Is it enabled? Did you restart SketchUp to make sure it gets loaded?
