Here's yet another update http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663

ThanXI [and many others] have both toolsets installed without any interconnected problems
Can you explain the nature of the problem a bit more ?
Are there any error messages [either at startup or when it's run with the Ruby Console open]? if so please post them here, or perhaps more logically in theShapeBenderthread, as that's the broken tool.
Nothing has changed between recent versions of theEEby... tools that I could think might affect ShapeBender in any way. that tool itself has been around for some time...
Please check you haveprogressbar.rbinstalled in the Plugins folder [available free fromSmustard.com] - this is a frequent cause of tools failing that need it [it's not needed for any of theEEby... tools though!]

I'll include them with the next update of the toolset.
Meanwhile Chinese locale users can install them into the TIGtools folder and feedback... -
Hi TIG,
Shouldn't there be a Toolbar? I don't see it. I have all the EEb Tools in the Plugins menu, but no Extrusion* in Toolbars.
-
There should be a file in ../Plugins/
#extrusionToolbar.rbmakes the Toolbar/Sub-Menu.
It starts with a '#' so it loads first - it then checks to see if any of the possible EEby...rb files exist and if so it adds the 'Extrusion Tools' toolbar referenced as '$extrusionToolbar' and an 'Extrusion Tools' submenu referenced as '$extrusionToolsSubmenu'. As each of the EEby...rb files loads it checks for these $ references and if they don't exist then there is no toolbar/button and the tool's menu item is added direct to Plugins-menu rather than into a subfolder...
Your screen-shot suggests that#extrusionToolbar.rbis missing as there's no 'Extrusion Tools' submenu ??
Note that the EEby... tools also 'require'deBabelizer.rb? -

Ah, I renamed it without the #. Guess I can't do that.

NO! It needs to load before the other tools so they find the toolbar/submenu ready-made...
The existence of the EEby...rb tools are checked by it 'by name' so renaming all of those would also stop the toolbar/submenu getting created...
Its filename doesn't have to start with a #, it just needs to list somewhere before the other tools in alphanumeric order... I use a leading # on the name of for my tools if I want it to load early - like the '#HolePunchTool.rb', as I want its items high up on the context-menu listings...
-
And I use C:\Plugins rather than the default so I can share plugins between versions. EEbX isn't portable in that way either.
Thanks.

I made these mods to make it portable:
starting @ ~ line 50
eePlugins.each{|plugin| path = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), plugin+".rb") #if Sketchup.find_support_file(plugin+".rb","Plugins/") if File.exists?(path) gotPlugin=true break end#if } -
Here's an updated set http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663
The tool now makes the Extrusion Tools toolbar/submenu even if the various .rb files are not located in the standard ../Plugins/ folder and are loaded from elsewhere [it now uses
File.dirname(__FILE__)rather than the.find_support_file()which is limited to a standard set of folders]. It just requires that all of the files [including those in the ../TIGtools/ submenu] are kept in the same relative locations rather than the previous absolute ../Plugins/ location...It also includes the latest Chinese lingvo files, thanks to 'hebeijianke'...

Frequent updates are another advantage of using a shared Plugins folder!
Thanks again.

Sorry οΌ my mistake

I'm new Sketchup user

I founded out sketchup plug in is strong toolthx share

If I haven't said this before, awesome tools, thx.
This doesn't play well with SketchyPhysics; this newest version won't extrude edges by rails successfully if SketchyPhysics is installed. So I keep the two installed in different versions of Sketchup.

I know about the SketchyPhysics issue - it can also affect other tools... http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=300111#p300111
The fix is relatively simple BUT it means recoding a few lines in one of the SketchyPhysics rubies...
