      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>>
      

      โ“

        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... ๐Ÿ˜ณ
        Here's v4.9 that fixes the 'db' glitch in the 'Set Z-Plane' tool.! ๐Ÿค“

                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...

                  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?

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

                        This would in fact be quite redundant. The work planes are used in a similar manner to the 2D tools, as they create a "shield" to prevent the inferencing of the native tools to the geometry on the opposite side of the plane. You can draw directly on it as it's a locked group and delete it at will. The 2D tools do much the same except they are restricted to the X,Y axis for 2D drawing, but still allow you set the Z, which creates an invisble 2D work plane on that height. The work plane plugin allows similar restriction, only it's not restricted to X,Y only and it works with the native toolset. You could technically set a work plan on the x,y axis at a Z height and use the native tools to draw in restricted 2D. Using the 2D tools to go the other direction would negate them from being 2D at all.

                          I find that the native tools - especially the line tool all to often pick inference in the Z-Axis - so when I think I've drawn a shape on a plane I've in fact drawn a 3d shape.
                          That's why it'd be nice to have a tool that restricted drawing to the arbitrary set plane.

                              hi tig.
                              a question.
                              You Can add this utility to function chamfer and fillet?
                              The idea Would Be to chamfer or fillet + welding in a single step
                              maybe:
                              if we hold down the Ctrl key> chamfer or fillet + welding
                              if not press the ctrl> single chamfer or fillet.

                              is it possible?
                              Greetings

                                Your idea is feasible... however, I feel that with the virtually indispensable 'weld.rb' loaded, with a shortcut to say 'J'oin, you could simply select the three pieces, press 'J' and it'll weld them into a single polyline/curve anyway...

                                  Hi Tig

                                  I am sorry to bother you with something that may sound so simple but I am trying to download your plug-in 2D tools and I always get comets like โ€œtime outโ€....basically i don't manage to download it. Is it because my internet connection speed in Indonesia is too slow, is it that I do something wrong. If you have a suggestion I will be glad to hear from you. Thank you in advance for taking time to answer.

                                        Looks like incorrectly installed to me. I'd delete all files related to 2D Tools from the Plugins directory and reinstall correctly. You should end up with something like this in the Plugins folder.

                                          I looked the SU plug-ins directory. The problem was in the strange document, called "2D%23loader.rb". After his removal,

                                            You should have a file in the 2D Tools folder called 2D#Loader. I think the '#' got changed to '%23'.
