[Plugin] ExtrudeTools - Full Set

[camsoccer2]

Hey Tig, in the lattice tool, is it possible to have the material choices include the material layers I have created in the project instead of the generic red, green, etc.?

No, not unless you recode it yourself, and then the material-list will become unmanageably long ! ...
So make it say 'Red', then edit the group, select a 'Red' face and use the context-menu to select 'all matching material'... Then use the Materials Browser to paint what's selected with any other material you desire - either in the Model or from an external Collect. You can do something similar for the 'Glass' too...
It's only seconds to do, and this method allows you to change to whatever you want at any time...

OK here is whole error string... I believe the top is relating to extrude tools.

Should I attempt to have clean install of SketchUp?

[sepo]

OK... guess I was wrong... after clean install I have now ruby console. I will now first install thea and twilight and do one plugin in time and see.

[TIG]

Good idea...
A screen-shot of your Tools & Plugins folder will help if you continue to have problems...
Check that you haven't [re]installed any old 'toolbar' compilations etc that might put old versions of 'system files' into Plugins when they should only ever be in Tools - e.g. 'sketchup.rb' ...

[sepo]

I have found the culprit which triggered all this problems. It is solar north extension.
Now I have Ruby Console and plugins so far installed are all loading without error....

[Dave R]

I wonder how the Solar North extension could cause all that?

[TIG]

Are you sure it's called Solar-North??
There was a known rogue script called something like Solar-Position...
That might have messed with the system-file Solar-North that has NO KNOWN issues

Can you please post a screen-shot of your problem folders............ you make it doubly difficult for us to help when you don't help us...
We try to help... but the help goes to those that help themselves...
[missing out a 'God' reference there - as the more astute of you might have spotted...]

This lack of common-sense seems endemic

[sepo]

I did not have any other plugins bar Twilight and Thea. Now everything looks fine apart from UV tools.

i remember i had some trouble using solar north about a year ago. it caused bugsplats every time i tried to use it.. so i don't try to use it anymore..

The Extrusion tools are 11 in number - you have managed to get an extra blank first button What does it do if you press it ?
This suggests something is [mis]loading twice ???

this toolbar behavior on Mac was discussed at length early in the thread when there were only a few tools

It does nothing

[TIG]

As mentioned in earlier threads, try changing it from a horizontal to a vertical toolbar arrange.
Close and restart Sketchup and set the toolbar back to horizontal - the extra button should disappear - it seems to be a MAC only occasional glitch
The code makes an empty toolbar and adds the various tools onto it one at a time.
Somehow on a MAC if the bar is horizontal it decides it needs an empty button, before the real buttons are made - however, flipping it vertical, restarting and making it horizontal again removes this oddity... Most MAC users and all PC users never get this happening...

OK thanks ... I will try that when I get back home.

It worked...Thanks for your help Tig.

[pbacot]

I went back to an old project file and was looking at a part and thinking, "Now how did I do that?"

Someone (my earlier self) left a message.

Thanks TIG!

[Lana]

Thanks, thanks Tig.
