[Plugin] Edge Tools

Yep, The faces don't need to be coplanar. They can be parallel faces and perpendicular but parallel to edge, plus more--but I haven't figured out what and probably cannot

Hi, i installed Edge tools² in my sketchup pro 2017, but i'm not able to find it in the menu "View » Toolbars » Edge Tools²" or in "Tools » Edge Tools²" , i've tried to reinstal it, but it did't work.
Pd: i already installed the TT_Lib² — 2.7.0 before instal the Edge tools²
Thanks for the help

Assuming you installed it from its RBZ using the Install Extension tool...
Check under the Extension Manager dialog that it is activated - if it's not, then no menu items or toolbars will appear... -
Hi Thomthom, first of all many thanks for this useful plugin.
Just would like to ask you if exist or you plan to make its equivalent for newer versions of Sketchup? I mean *.rbz suffix of file. Many thanks in advance for your answer.

The rbz file is already available and has been for a long time. Look in the PluginStore by clicking on the button at the top of this page. Or better, install the Sketchucation Extension Store tool (look under Resources at the top of this page.) and use it to install Edge Tools. Don't forget to also install the current TT_Lib as well.

Very handy tool, thank you
I'd have a little upgrade suggestion - the first tool "Split faces into multiple pieces" could remember the last distance used and snap cursor to it -
Hi!
I use these tools a lot but unfortunately I cannot set a key shortcut for any of them because thery're not listed in SketchUp's tools list in Preferences > Shortcuts. Please, if you could, make some upgrade that would include them into the list.Also remembering last distance in the first tool: "Split faces into multiple pieces" would be a great feature. With these two things Edge Tools would be not only cool and handy, but also very fast to use.

Look for them under Tools/edge...

Filter for 'edge' to shorten the list. -
Thank you.
I was confused because the tool called "Split faces into multiple pieces" stood in the list as "Divide faces" and I firstly didn't come up it's the same thing.

Are you still using SketchUp 8 as indicated in your profile?
How exactly did you install them?

thank

When I use "Find all edge gaps", I see the circles. And I can click each one and repair. But, due the large number, I then use "Close all edge gaps", and none of the gaps are closed. Should "Close all edge gaps" close all gaps identified by the "Find all edge gaps"?

Hey thomthom!
I am currently using sketchup 2020. I installed edge tools plugin but it does not show up on my palette. And i checked on my extension manager it shows enabled but is does not shop up. Please help me. -

Did you also install the current version of tt_lib2? It is required for Edge Tools to work. And did you install SketchUp 2020 correctly by right clicking on the downloaded installer exe file and selecting Run as administrator from the context menu?

It would be cool to have the same tool names in the toolbar and Preferences. For example: a tool called "Split faces into multiple pieces" lives in the Prefs hotkey list as "Divide faces" and I couldn't figure out it's the same thing. It is very confusing.

Hi.
This is a very useful plugin that I use everyday, however I would like to modify just a little thing that I think might be easy but I don't know how.
When I click the icon in the toolbar to DIVIDE/SPLIT faces, the line created is always a regular line. So far so good.
However if I assign a shortcut to DIVIDE/SPLIT faces, the line created is a construction line -- I have to use CONTROL to change it to a regular line.Is there a way to change it so that the shortcut command also creates a regular line without need to press CONTROL?
I know it's a nitpick, but maybe it's something easy to change in the code, if you could tell me what line to change.
Thanks in advance

Would this be the best tool for...
-Imported CAD DWG (General Floor Plan) into sketchup 2016
-Most walls are not a single line from corner to corner but 15-20 segments from corner to corner.
-Can I window the entire drawing - Run the edge tool, and each wall run will just be single lines?
Thanks Mattee
