New mortise & tenon tool for woodworkers
-
I posted a new Mortise Joint Tool in the plugin forum: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=36799&p=324691#p324003
Features:
Creates complete joints for Mortise & Tenon Joints or Loose Tenon Joints.
Also will draw a single Tenon or Mortise.
Tenons or Mortises can have Square or Round Ends.
Also will draw Haunched Tenons and the corresponding mortise.
Will draw dowel holes for doweled joint. Use LT_Mortise and select "Dowel" for End Shape.
Mortise depth in second part is specified separate so it can be different than the Tenon Length.
Tool is added to the "Draw" menu with pullouts to the individual tools.
Input Form will accept numbers, fractions, or equations.
Demo Videos: (Edited urls so they work again 5/30)

Hi ktkoh,
Love the look of the plugin, I'm looking to use it on some college coursework. I'm pretty new to SU (2 days and counting) so probably doing something wrong, maybe you can give me some quick advice?
I've got two components butted together, ready to be M&T'd. I've selected the first and then the second component, which then turns see-through, but when I try to select the points on Comp1 to start making the tenon, I keep getting the same message, "Edge 1 blocked, please select again".
I've watched your videos so pretty sure I'm following the right process, but I've probably done something wrong in the prep?
Any help would be appreciated mate... I have to hand in the technical drawings tomorrow
Thanks in advance

I was out of town and just saw your post. When you select the second component the program should hide it to give you unobstructed view of the first component. Can you post the file so I could look at it?
