[Plugin] ExtrudeTools - Full Set
-
Did you install it from a downloaded RBZ using Preferences > Extensions > Install Extension...
or the equivalent SketchUcation Archive Installer, or directly using the SketchUcation PluginStore dialog within SketchUp ?
Having reread your post I see it was the latter.Your supposed problem...
If you mean the toolbar is not visible, then you probably need to activate it from its entry in the Toolbar list...
If you mean the toolbar appears, but it has blank buttons, then check that there are 22 PNG files in the subfolder - ..\Plugins\ExtrudeTools
This seems unlikely because all of the other files used by the tool to make the submenu items etc are also in that subfolder !If there is no toolbar available something is weird...
-
Hi Trevor, Yes all the png's appear and yes it is activated with a check to enable it. But I still have no tool bars or icons whatsoever. I tried disabling it, open sketchup again, re enable, open again and still nothing. Something is weird
I guess it would be quicker to reinstall SketchUp 2016 and reload all my plugins with sketucation's brilliant plugin store.
Thank you for the assistance.

Hi John!
Happy New Year
-
Isn't there something about java or some such being up to date for some icons to work?
I'm probably wrong but it stuck in my mind. -
Hi Brian happy new year to you too
Very funny
Box- that might be it as I was told not to update Java by a friend. Perhaps i need to ignore that adviceQuick questions. I've uninstalled 2016 version. Should I delete everything in my appdata roaming plugins folder? Is there anything there I should leave alone?
Thanks again for all the help.

Reinstalling SU2016 won't change the User/AppData/...SketchUp 2016/Plugins folder, though. Reinstalling SketchUp 2016 seems like a drastic step that's unlikely to fix the problem. Delete the Extrude Tools files from the Plugins folder and install anew with the SCF Plugin Store.
Edit: Too late.

Hi Dave,I already tried deleting and then re installing the extrude tools several times to no avail.
Re install only takes a few minutes as does re installing all my extensions. So it is not too drastic in my opinion. But I'm still not sure if I should delete every single file in the plugins folder or if there is something I should keep there that might be needed or is it okay to simply leave them all as is?
-
I guess at this point I'd delete the entire Plugins folder from App Data/Roaming... Then install the SCF Plugin Store from a fresh download and use it to install TIG's Extrude Tools. Don't install anything else until testing for icons.
-
That sounds like great advise and a good way to go
Thank you Dave -
Good luck.
-
Darn Just did as per Dave's advice and still not showing toolbar for extrude tools.
I updated java too so completely stumped at the moment as to how to correct this.Where is that head banging against a wall emoji Or is that on another forum
-
Yaaaaay... Got it working at last, Most likely operator error ( it always is) as when I went to toolbars and checked the box for extrude tools it came up. I had been checking the box under extensions.
Anyhooo feels so good to sort this out, even if it was just due to correcting operator error.
Thank you all for the help

Many [but not all] Plugins are made as Extensions, and because of a glitch in v2016-M0's Loading Policy, when these are first installed they do no start off 'activated', even when the author specifies that they ought to, and the RBZ is properly signed, and the Loading Policy is set as 'Unrestricted' [the default]...
Therefore, you currently need to activate any installed Extensions manually from Preferences > Extensions, by placing a check-mark against their entry [you can also use the SketchUcation Extensions-Manager to do this by moving them into the left 'activated' column].
Thereafter, this activation should be remembered across sessions...When an activated Plugin has a Toolbar, then that might not start off initially activated when its RBZ is installed [but its initial state depends of the author's coding, if the Extension has been deactivated etc].
You can activate that toolbar under the Toolbars list, by placing a check-mark against its entry.
By default, when first activated it will appear top-left of the SketchUp-window, floating and in one line.
You can reshape/relocate/dock it etc, all as you wish.
This now active-toolbar should reappear across sessions, remembering wherever you last left it [and floating or docked etc]. -
TIG, it appears I am seeing a problem with the Extrude Tools extension. Any time I use it if I use Ctrl-Z to undo something, I am winding up with a rectangle at the axis base point in my model. Please see this thread
-
Which of the EEby... tools shows this ?
Initially I can't think of any that place a rectangle at the origin, outside of the main undo-loop ??
More details please... -

More details please...The only one I have been using is the vector one. I have tried several times since I first read your reply and have not been able to reproduce it again. It did happen several time before in both 2015 and 2016 (Pro for both).

Hi there,
I have problems with Extrude Tools and Sketchup 2017:
Even after disabling all other plugins I get the following results running for instance “Extrude Edges by Rails” or “Extrude Edges by Rails To Lattice”:
The tool only creates the control/construction points (no faces) and I get some information in the Ruby Console:
Another example: “Extrude Edges by Loft” creates triangulated faces but no Quad Faces if I select this option.
(Some information: Extrude Tools 3.0 (I installed it using the SketchUcation Tool, no problems with Sketchup 2016, system: windows 7, 64 bit, Intel i7 3770, NVidia GTX 750 Ti, drivers: 375.57 and the newest 375.86)Any ideas?
-
Thanks for the reports.
I see it too... investigating...
It's the way v2017 replaces an exploded entity with a duplicate, with another ID, and so you can no longer collect a reference to it before exploding, it must be done as part of the explode itself to get the correct reference...
Working on it - I suspect it affects many of the tools...
