TIG - thanks for another fine plugin.
report - not sure where you're getting the definition for round - Float.round does not take an argument.
Also, version 7 users would find a nice speed-up by modifying the start_operation statement:
model.start_operation("Lathe", true)

> Error; #<ArgumentError; wrong number of arguments(1 for 0)>
> C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 7.1b3/Plugins/lathe1.1.rb;146;in `round'
> C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 7.1b3/Plugins/lathe1.1.rb;146;in `onMouseMove'
> C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 7.1b3/Plugins/lathe1.1.rb;146
> 

I'll add the version 7 speed up [forgotten during its speedy initial creation] and my float.round(n) does work for me !!! - although I don't know where I'm got that from [Edit: I grepped my rubies and found that 'Demeter.rb' and 'sunposition.rb' both redefine float.round(n=0) to take an argument [defaults to 0 if not set]]... I've written a similar method too float.roundup(n) to keep it separate... An update v1.2 will be issued shortly...

Very nice to have this function as a pseudo-built in rather than the clunky workaround previously required to make lathed objects. Thanks!
