[Plugin] ExtrudeTools - Full Set

If it takes you time to answer several question, ask yourself how many hours TIG spent writing this plugin, or draw your extrusion by hand, you surely will go faster

Maybe TIG could release a commercial version that offers some user set parameters instead of the way the free version works.

Sometimes I have to create a lot of extrusions in the row and speed matters then.
He surely devoted a lot of time to that but isn't it the aim of programming to make things as fast as possible?
And yes, I'd gladly pay for a version that works smooth with SU 17 and has ability to set default params If only TIG would like to go commercial.

Very sorry to say SketchUp 2019 appears to have caused a conflict. These messages did not appear with 2018.

Other TIG plugins seem to be fine: Lattice Maker, Mirror, Split tools, TIG Weld

Your time and abilities are so valuable. I hope you can find some way to look into this.

I have a fix for this.
I'll publish an update soonest...

Version 5.0 fixes the v2019 incompatibility.
However, please note that the ExtrudeEdgesbyFace tool no longer loads, this is because it crashes in v2019, and was already known to be flaky in the more recent SketchUp versions anyway ! Safest to skip it completely...
I have been looking for a workaround [I must admit with little success], but if I can get that tool de-flaked then I'll re-update things back to the full set of 11...

Thanks Tig, that has been stopping me from moving to 2019 full time.

Hi,
Just installed today, and pleased to see that is translated in french.
Unfortunately, the plugin palette doesn't appear, and I don't know to get it visible.

Then, the first test is not good; certainely do I need to see one more time the video tutorial

TIG

I assume you mean the toolset's 'Toolbar'.
On a MAC 'Toolbars' are activated from the .... View > Tool Palettes menu item...

Hi TIG,

Your Extrudetools-Full set is excellent, but I find that there only 10 tools, single Section Lofting is not included,could you please add that into the Extrudetools-Full set.Then the plugin would be more pefect.

Thanks.
Best Regards.

As I explained in the recent post https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=645437#p645437 it was removed because of issues with v2019...
Have you looked for alternatives - I think there might be some around...

Buggy as usual: Does not work on my System...
I try extrude edges by face like on the "demo video" and noting happens...

Give more information about what you are trying to accomplish. Share the SKP file. Are you still using SketchUp 8 as your profile indicates?

Your images are not showing up. Please upload them using Upload Attachment below the reply window.

What version of SketchUp are you using? Is it still SketchUp 8 as indicated in your profile?

TIG

Here are the missing images...

I expect this relates to this https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=645437#p645437
I removed one of the tools because it became incompatible with newer SketchUp versions [and would have needed a complete re-coding], but there are alternatives...

Is there an equivalent to something like "Extrude edges by loft to lattice", to make a lattice out of more than 2 cross-sections?

tondaa

Great plugin, great work. Migrated from another, that was with 2020 buggy and like it a lot!

Is there a way how to disable popup prompts (reverse faces and group)?

TIG

If you want to suppress those message-boxes you need to edit the RB scripts' code [using a plain-text editor like Notepad++ which can show language syntax, line-numbers etc].

Adding a # at the start of the line making part of the message stops it running...
Adding =begin then =end after a few lines disables those line...
You might also need to add something to mimic an answer in some cases...

e.g. extrudeEdgesByRails.rb
line #868
if UI.messagebox((db("Extrude Edges by Rails:"))+"\n\n"+(db("Reverse Faces ?"))+"\n\n\n\n",MB_YESNO,"")==6 ### 6=YES 7=NO
to line #885
could be recast
**=begin** if UI.messagebox((db("Extrude Edges by Rails:"))+"\n\n"+(db("Reverse Faces ?"))+"\n\n\n\n",MB_YESNO,"")==6 ### 6=YES 7=NO .... **=end**
so that none of those lines run as the code loads [or just add a # at the start of every line you want to omit - which might be clearer to check]

Do the editing for every prompt you want to miss out...

Any error-messages you get about the code when restarting SketchUp will show you where you've gone wrong ! They give a line-number which helps...

Do it a few steps at a time otherwise you'll have a massive ball of twine to untangle !!

Hi,

After using the tool "Extude edges by vector", I noticed that the info window was corrupted: it is frozen and displays the info of the selected object just before extruding.
Bug?
