[Plugin] MoveAlong - v1.2b - 07 Jul 14
-
I've a problem...I checked all your instruction movies, but can't find a solution. When I want to move lines or faces in one active group I cannot snap or interfere with objects outside the active group. Am I missing something?? I installed the latest version...
Thanks in advance....

Seems normal : you copy move something froma group
Just don't you use the plug in this particular case!
and you will have a perfect allignement inferencing with any thing !Generally a copy/move is the trick for have a direct inference with something!

Hi Pilou,
You actually don't need the plugin anyway. But that's not the issue. I only noticed that snapping to other objects, while in a group, is not possible...while it is possible when you ungroup the object. I would like to know if it is me being stupid...or that I have to switch between the "original" move function and MoveAlong(which I prefer in MOST cases).

This is a limitation of the Ruby API. When you are inside a group or component, it is not possible to see the outside model. The same happens for MoveAlong or DrawAlong
As recommended by Pilou, you need to switch to the native Move tool to be able to use inferences outside the group context.

Thanks Fredo....it's a pity...But thanks nevertheless!

I may try to find a workaround, but this requires some thoughts first.

Hahaha! Okay! I'll wait patiently for a brilliant moment!

I´m beginning to use the command move along instead of the normal move. But when I´m copying objects using ctrl and try to relocate them in my model using pan (mouse central button & shift) the move along command does a copy of the object at the first point that I pick in the model to grab with the pan hand.
Has this happened to any one else? -
Smooth hard all connected edges in SketchUp 2017/18 Help!!!!
Thanks

It looks like Move Along is not suited for SU 17 and newer. Works fine with SU 16 but in SU 17 I cannot even pick any edge. I grab the tool, then hover over the edge and it just doesn't see it. Even if I preselect my edge, then run the tool, it neither snaps nor picks any direction.

Strange...
Can you open the Ruby Console before you launch MoveAlong and see if there are some errors displayed.Thanks

Further observations:
It started working. No errors at first. However, if I move an egde and try to do it again, Ruby Console shows this:

Thanks for the report.
I think this is related to this damned regression as of SU2017 (related to loss of references when exploding groups).
I'll have a closer look when I can.

Hi. Thank you for awesome plugin. Can I toggle smoothening of edges? Please.

I think move along with copy (via Ctrl key) is broken (at least in v21)
I move a copy in desired direction, enter some distance value, the tool places a copy in desired place, BUT when I exit the tool (or switch to Select tool) the copy is not saved. -

It should be fixed with LibFredo6 v11.4f, just published. Thanks to confirm.

How do I disable the move and rotate tool from Fredo Tools? I love everything but just wanna disable these two bits.

The only thing that's missing from this tool is that it doesn't see the grip points from the middle of the edges of the bounding boxes of groups/components, not for the objects you move, and not for the objects you move to.
Maybe the API doesn't provide this information, but that would be absurd because those grip points are available in the SU native move tool, and you can cycle through all of them by repeatedly pressing the ALT key.
