[Plugin] Work Plane
-
Version v2.7 is now available in the PluginStore.
http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=WorkPlaneIt fixes the glitch when you tried to use the new version in an older SKP that had previously setup WorkPlanes in the old format - old floats v. new lengths.
Now of you use such a SKP it's assumed that the previous float settings were lengths - so you may need to reset for new WorkPlanes if you were using meters... [right-click in open space or using the 'Adjust' context-menu option...] -

Good morning.
Well got up and installed v2.7 from the store, over my other installed Workplane. This install behaved just like the last install. The dimensions did not change from inches to feet as I changed the units in Sketchup.
So if this install was to clean out all the previous left over remnants, it didn't seem to accomplish this task.
I went into the plugin directory, removed all Workplane info, rb files, and directory. Re-installed v2.7 from the store. Plugin works correctly now.
Just letting you know.

Works fine in v8 up to v2014
I just reinstalled it in v2014 to be sure, and it worked fine.
When loaded [and enabled if you are using the SCF Plugins Manager]...
It has a submenu named "WorkPlane Tools" under "Tools" menu.
I trust you have looked there and not under the "Plugins" menu***
If you select a WorkPlane object, then there are a number of tools enabled in the Context-menu - these differ depending on what you have selected.
There is a Toolbar named "WorkPlane Tools" too...***Have you actually read the usage instructions ??
If there's still a problem... do you have the latest version of v2014 - an update came out a few days ago...
Also are there any accented characters or single-quotes in your Windows User name ?
These have been reported as issues for many plugins' loading... -
When I apply the normals tool the normal set is rotated. The primary axes are in the standard directions.

Does Workplane work in SU 2015?

I seem to have some trouble installing Work Plane on SU2014.
I get this error message:
"SketchUp was unable to install the Extension you have chosen for some unknown reason.
Consult your Extension's documentation for additional help."What might be wrong?
-
Should work.
Have you downloaded the latest RBZ from the PluginStore ? -
This is really great. Worked like a charm for me the first time. I was working in "top" "parallel" view on a floor plan (even though the model is 3D). Instead of having to orbit and go into perspective to make changesI was able to draw right onto the floor plane. Then when I tried it again when drawing a line it didn't lock to the work plane. It drew all over. I'm using Sketchup 2016 on a Mac. Any ideas?
Thank you.

I know this is an old thread but I've been trying to use Work Plane to be more efficient and accurate with my projects. It's a great plugin but I'm having a real issue changing the size of the Work Plane. Right-click into space just doesn't work for me, I get nothing at all. When I start Work Plane it merely allows me to select the 3 points and double-click to accept. I'm using SU2018 so wondered if this might be the issue?
-
Sadly the right-click in empty-space to change settings no longer works.
However, if you make a Workplane using the default values, then immediately Select it; its context-submenu then includes lots of extra options - use its 'Adjust' to change the size WH and grid XY...

Ahh, that explains it. Thanks for the nod, I'll use that. This is such a useful plugin, is there any chance it'll get updated?
