Thanks. That works for me. I was unaware of this feature.
Again, thanks for your plugins.
Onto another note, will you be at 3D Basecamp?
KenUnfortunately, it's a no.
Google arranged 3D Basecamp a verybad time...
I have a sick relative coming to live with us around then... AND I have to get things ready [like finish the new ground-floor bedroom/bathroom etc]... AND also it's aloooong way... AND it's a lot of money for a few days' junket AND... it starts on my wife's birthday AND it ends on our wedding-anniversary
So all in all a resounding 'no' - though I would have loved to have gone
Excuses, excuses, TIG....
-
does this plugin only work for SU porfessional, or will it work with the free version.
i cant get it to load up.
Thanks
Glenn
-
It works on SU Free. Have you extracted the zipped folder into your plugins directory? Making sure to keep the folder/file structure intact.
-
Glenn, it works with both pro and free versions of SU. Perhaps you could be a little more specific about what you've done and what's happening.
-
Also it's not to be found in the Plugins Menu... See Menu > Draw > 2D Tools > sub-menu items... AND you will need to activate the 2D Tools toolbar from Views > Toolbar > 2D Tools to see that too...
Please read the instructions in the Help file... -
i feel like such an idiot, yes, they have been there all along.
sorry, i had been so engrossed in trying to get them to appear in the plugins section.thanks for the info

TIG,
The 2D tools don't seem to work in v8. I get the following error (3 pages actually - just copying one as they are all similar).Error Loading File 2D#.rb
C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/2DlineTool.rb:33: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting kEND
Sketchup::set_status_text ("Length"), SB_VCB_LABELI don't have an urgent need for this plug-in right now but I thought you'd like to know that it may need to be updated.
Thanks!

Wyatt, I don't want to speak for TIG but I'm not having any problem with the 2D Tools on either my Mac or my PC. In fact I just used it a few minutes ago on my PC here at work. Could it be an install problem?
-
His error indicate a syntax error.
Sketchup::set_status_text ("Length"), SB_VCB_LABELinstead which Ruby 1.8.6 throws an error at now that it's stricter than previous version.Possible he has used different tools than you?
@Wyatt: exactly when you do get these errors? What tools/operations are you doing?
-
I don't know, Thomas. I've gone through all of the 2D tools just now and didn't get any errors.
-
Ok, figured it out. The 2D tools that don't work for me are these:
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=21445v4.6 works fine. Are the plugins on the other thread an earlier build?
-
As Thomthom says v8 is more unforgiving of having only part of the arguments parenthesized - I will check my code and reissue to suit... B U T . . .
However, there is no occurrence of the textSketchup::set_status_text ("Length"), SB_VCB_LABELANYWHERE in the current2DlineTool.rb- it's always the correctly syntaxedSketchup::set_status_text((db"Length"),SB_VCB_LABEL)???
So I am a bit mystified - do you have the correct version downloaded from the main page zip file... -

Peculiar. Though, I did find the syntax alien to be TIG's...

Thank's a lot

Here's v4.7 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=185760#p185760
The MAC TAB-key press glitch is trapped using key-up check instead of key-down in 2DlineTool.
MAC 'help' openURL glitch fixed. -

Some how I don't think this is what you wanted.
And thanks.

KenKen - somehow the zip got messed up!
I'll post v4.7 again! -
v4.7 zip was messed up!
It's now fixed http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=185760#p185760 - please re-download...I know that it has been downloaded a few times in the corrupted form.
If you have it then either don't install it or if you already have done so, then please remove all of the 'wrong' files from thePluginsfolder...
Otherwise you'll get multiple toolbar-buttons etc...In the
Pluginsfolder you should only have just two related files -deBableizer.rband2D#.rb- AND also a2DToolsfolder containing lots of things.Everything else with '2d' is their name [files (~22nr) and folders (2nr)] is wrong and needs removing.
The
CadFathersIcons.zipfile is also wrongly located and needs removing to tidy up.Also there will be a folder called
Iconsthat unfortunately might have merged with other tools' folder of the same name - it does no harm to have the extra image files in there... BUT to tidy up remove any files in it with '2D' in their name - if that empties the folder then you can also delete that.Similarly the
Hatchingfolder has been misplaced - it's unlikely to have merged - but check if it only contains image files starting with 'PATT' and a ReadMe.txt file - if so the whole folder can go...Sorry for this mess up...

confirmed, tab now works on mac.
i didn't know that's what tab was supposed to do. ha
that makes 2D tools even more awesome
thank you
