      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 😲 πŸ˜• πŸ˜• πŸ˜• πŸ˜’

          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...

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

                                            Having some difficulty with this plugin (in Extrusion Tools).

                                            It will not let me select the profile in the attached file (the narrow ends) - will let me select the long edges OK (my intended rails) but this is not much use. Have no idea what the issue is - have also updated SketchyPhysics as there was a comment that earlier versions of this caused a problem.

                                            Any thoughts appreciated, its driving me nuts!
