[Plugin] Extrude Edges by Rails
-
Ken
The way I do it is that I always download zip onto my desktop - let's say it's called 'EEE.zip'.
Then I right-click on its icon and use the "Extract into ./EEE" option that I think most unzip utilities will offer [by default this is taken from the zip's name].
It makes a folder called EEE on the Desktop.
All of the zip's files and sub-folders etc go into it.
I ease [or backup] the original zip.
I open the Plugins folder and also open the EEE folder and select all in it and drag the files, subfolders etc into plugins - at the prompts to merge folders, overwrite files etc I answer "Yes", ticking any boxes to process all similar files the same way...
After that I have an empty EEE file that I can throw away.
IF there are any folder permission settings wrong [in Vista] there will be '[in]compatibility files' noted in the top bar of the Windows Explorer window...
On restarting SUp the new tools should become available - if I need to activate a Toolbar off the Views menu the tool's notes should have tool me this... -
Hi TIG,
Still doesn't work for me, tried just about everything you said. Although, only the EEBR and EEBRbyFace doesn't work. All the others work.

If EEbyFace doesn't work does EEbyRailsByFace still work ?
If so, then that's plain weird, that tool uses much of the stuff from EEbyRails AND has to actually use EEbyFace to work at all ?
Can you try the latest EEbyRails one last time and report the Ruby Console 'Error Messages' with the point[s] at which they occur...
This is a complete mystery

Hi TIG,
Yes you're right EEbyRailsbyFace doesn't work, neither does EEbyFace and EEbyRails. The rest of the tools work. Anyways here's the video showing that ruby console message and how it appears: http://www.screencast.com/users/ultimatezod/folders/Jing/media/195fc564-1b26-4762-9450-106d31ce4499

That error message is because you say 'Yes' to untwist a mesh BUT it is already erased - for some unknown reason.
For some reason your version is failing to make the mesh, or erasing it immediately after it's made...Here is a specially doctored version of EEbyRails - try it and answer 'No' to all closing dialog prompts, report what happens and any Ruby Console messages...
This file is for temporary use only ! Attachment removed following resolution. -
i tried it. i got EEE about 20 times. like this
EEE
EEE
EEE
EEE
EEE
EEE
EEE

eeek!

Good... that's what I expected...
I assume no geometry or guide-points got made ?
Narrowing down the little blighter
Throw away that temporary version as it's not sustainable...
I'll get you another version to try soon...
[tomorrow?] -
thanks!

Aaargh!
The group isn't getting made or kept...
I'll send you a PM version with lots of intermediate prompts and progress/error messages in the console...
It'll take me a while to make it... please be patient... -

TIG, I confirm this. Sketchyphysics is the plugin that's clashing with EEbyRails
