      Here's a maintenance update which includes new ES lingvo files by deFisto with minor idiom corrections etc, and a minor 'db' correction to EEbyLathe to include the start_operation name...

                  EEbyRails and EEbyLoft have been updated so that the 'Quad Faces' option meets Thomthom's updated spec for this type of face...

                    I've just installed the collection but it isn't working properly. The toolbar doesn't appear and the EbyEdges tool doesn't work. I haven't tried the others out yet. Is this just me? I've installed it by putting the .rb files in the main plugins folder and the tigtools folder in there as well. Is that right?

                      Yes. 😕
                      This is what should be in your Plugins folderCapture.PNG
                      The TIGtools folder contains lots of support files too.
                      Are you sure all of the files are properly inside Plugins ?
                      No 'Compatibility Files' issues ??
                      The one starting with # is needed to make the toolbar etc.
                      You must activate the toolbar from View > Toolbars the first time it's loaded...

                        Hi, thanks aagain for this excellent tools

                        Is it possible to use extrude edge by loft by using lines and curves instead of curves exclusively,
                        If it is not possible how can I recreate the line using a curve ?

                          Ok, I've got the toolbar, but when I try to use the EbyEdge tool, for about 15 - 20mins nothing happens. My computer is normally quite fast - is it meant to take that long?

                            Run it with the Ruby Console open and post any error messages.
                            Are you sure you want to use this too?
                            It has quite specific results.
                            Perhaps EEbyRails might be what you want... 😕

                              Fredo's CurviLoft might work with plain edges... BUT most of my EEby... tools usually require 'Curves' to be selected... to make a collection of edges into a 'curve' use weld.rb, it's freely available from Smustard.com...

                                    The error you show is when you choose to intersect the mesh with itself. What happens if you don't do that [say No!]...
                                    Can you post the SKP that's causing the issue and some instructions on the steps you are taking to get the error, which I can't reproduce... 😕

                                      Hi TIG,
                                      thank you for your fast answer! I will give a more detailed description: I had to reinstall Sketchup and because of that also your plugin. Since that reinstallation the whole plugin is not working anymore and I can’t figure out why (because I installed it the same way as before). No matter which function of the plugin I use, I get no result.
                                      I get the error message I posted every time when I press “intersect with mesh”. When I press anything else nothing happens at all (no matter which of the functions I use). When I use the function “Extrude edges by rails” for example I get another error message:

                                      EEE
                                      undefined method `transform!' for nil:NilClass

                                      I added two screenshots, I don’t know if that helps.

                                          Have you installed all of the .rb files that are in the zipped set - e.g. the deBabelizer.rb.
                                          Have you definitely installed all of the other files keeping them inside their subfolder ?
                                          Are you sure it's not a 'Compatibility Files' issue ?
                                          Do you have full access rights to the Plugins folder etc...
                                          Are there any [other] Ruby Console messages when you try to run the tool ?

                                          Same goes for you...
                                          Can you post the sample SKP and a step by step of what you do to get the failure.
                                          It may be you are trying to do something that another tool would be better suited to ??
