manson666

I'm new Sketchup user
now learning it
I founded out sketchup plug in is strong tool

thx share

openhatch

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...

Okay, I knew you knew; I guess I might have clarified I was wondering if it's an outstanding problem (I hadn't read those posts you link to here). But the fix you link to will do (assuming it works, as I haven't tried it yet), thanks!

Wonderful tool....

this toolset is a bit complicated for usage for a novice like me. I'm getting some unexpected results. Are there any video tutorials

majid

ow... it jumps out of Sketchup with no error message!!! (almost half of tools!!!! eebe , eebf,eebfs, EEbR)

TIG

Majid
Have you installed any new Plugins lately?
Try disabling them temporarily and see if that helps.
Do you get any error messages in the Ruby Console before the 'crash'?
If you do find the culprit let use know asap.

Have you tried repair/reinstall Sketchup and/or reinstalling the Extrusion tools again...
This is weird

You might find it helpful to learn the basic tool set first. And then search through the forum because there's lots of information on using TIG's Extrude Tools. He did instructions for all of the tools in individual threads.

I'm unable to have the first button, don't know why.

This has been a problem since a long time. I have got now windows 7 ultimate but the problem is still there. I did a fresh download of this set, overwrote the old extrude tools files but the problem is still there.

TIG

There are only ever 11 buttons - there are only 11 extrudeEdgesBy...rb files!!!
I suspect that you have put one of the files into two auto-loading locations or have two copies with slightly different names in Plugins - so something is loading twice but the 1st time its icon files are not found - SO... what is the first button ? See its Tooltip etc or look in the Plugins>ExtrusionTools... for a submenu duplicate.
Temporarily move all of the 11 'good' extrudeEdgesBy...rb files into another folder and restart SUp [leave the #extrusionToolbar.rb in placeso the toolbar MIGHT get made]. Then you can track down the culprit - perhaps something like 2x extrudeEdgesByEdges.rb ??
Let us know when you've fixed it.

Whoa what a shot TIG!, bingo, its' the one extrude edgesbyedges, WTH it's duplicated !!!. I'll try to solve. i'm getting a duplicate in plugins menu man!!

i am unable to solve this problem. what should i do

TIG

Have you got two brain-cells to rub together

You have got two files with similar names loading, that then add the same tool twice.
So simply look through the contents of Plugins.
Find these two files and open/read them both with Notepad.exe
The one called "extrudeEdgesByEdges.rb" is the one to keep - it's from the zipped set [it says 'Version 3.0' in its notes]
The other one that's maybe 'older' and/or just has 'another similar name' needs removing.
There are several files in Plugins with similar names but only two of the 11 [in your case 12!] are the ones you need to worry on...

I can't do this for you - you must help yourself here - be resilient...

Sorry ... but the 8 of you who downloaded it so far do need to do it again
