And thanks.

Ken - 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 the Plugins folder...
Otherwise you'll get multiple toolbar-buttons etc...

In the Plugins folder you should only have just two related files - deBableizer.rb and 2D#.rb - AND also a 2DTools folder containing lots of things.

Everything else with '2d' is their name [files (~22nr) and folders (2nr)] is wrong and needs removing.

The CadFathersIcons.zip file is also wrongly located and needs removing to tidy up.

Also there will be a folder called Icons that 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 Hatching folder 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...

Hi Tig
I noticed the edit 2d text function no longer works in version 8.
The option to edit the text shows up in the context menu but doesn't pop up a dialog box.
This is the error I got.
Error: #<NameError: undefined local variable or method db' for TextTool2D:Class> 2DtextTool.rb:379:in edit'
Running windows xp sp2

Cheers

When trying to use Edit 2D text I got this:

You should have deBabelizer.rb in the Plugins folder. It's in the main zip file?

Reinstalled the 4.7 and now the error is this:

Error; #<NoMethodError; undefined method `db' for TextTool2D;Class>
C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/2Dtools/2DtextTool.rb;379;in `edit'

I've now got these new v8 errors trapped in '2D Text' and '2D Line Style' "edit" modes - see v4.8 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=185760#p185760

Double checking that no other methods are rubbished by the less forgiving PC-Ruby in v8...

EDIT: There shouldn't be any others - but that's not to say you lot won't find something that's broken... keep looking

Thanks,TIG!

Hi TIG,

I'm always having this error too, even with the latest version. When setting the Z plane altitude for instance:

C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/2Dtools/2DzplaneTool.rb;59;in `onMouseMove'
C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/2Dtools/2DzplaneTool.rb;59
Error; #<NoMethodError; undefined method `db' for #<Zplane2D;0x1285ba60>>

TIG

Thanks Didier...

I just knew that someone would have another problem!

It was a stupid typo on my part that hadn't been reported before...
Here's v4.9 that fixes the 'db' glitch in the 'Set Z-Plane' tool.!

Cool !
So reactive

CadFather

icons updated as well (thanks TIG)

Icons.zip

TIG

Thanks - I'll include them for the next update - meanwhile anyone who wants them now... please replace the original Icons with these...

TIG

Here's v5.0 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=185760#p185760
The db arguments etc are parenthesized in (). Various minor glitches in text etc have been addressed. The ES lingvo & help files have also been updated etc - many thanks to Defisto for his nit-picking that goaded me into the update! CadFather's new toolbar button icon set is also include if you want to swap over to that...

Already updated with some minor fixes ! http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=185760#p185760

hello TIG, thx for your 2d-toolset...I'm using it all the time and would'nt know how to get along without it.
But I have to second ThomThom with his question, if one 'sotospeak' could make the 2dtools work with
your 'work-planes' too? This would make it into something even more versatile.
You answered ThomThom with a link - I can't however figure out what you are pointing at.
If there's already a means to switch the 2dtools z-axis to any 'temporarily active one' please
give me a hint.

thx a lot for the 2dtools and the 'workplane-plug' and all the other plugs as well

I can use the hatching option only once, thereafter, I the hatch selection window doesn't open. Tried it with SU7 and SU8, same issue.

Any suggestions?

Ben Ritter

Sorry for the bother. I'm short on memory and lazy. Just looked at some previous posts and found the answer.
