      This plugin generates very simple hand railing (handrail?) with just edges. This might not be great for rendering, but it gets the job done simply if you just want to simply add a bunch of edges to give the illusion of safety rails in your models.

      Name : Simple Edge Railing

      Description : Creates safety railing or handrailing as aseries of simple edges, no faces.

      Credits: Very roughly based on the Weld.rb by Rick Wilson

      Usage : Select continuous edges, then run the script (Plugins>Edge Railing)

      Railing will be created

      Type : Geometry creation tool

      History:

      0.2 (11.Dec.2015) - first update. lots of functionality added

      0.1 (10.Dec.2015) - first alpha version

      usage instructions


      raw ruby file


      SketchUp installable rbz

        Hey good job so far on these extensions - you're off to a good start.

        However, please read up on using namespace modules to protect your methods from over-writing or being over-written by other same-named methods from other extensions (yes, it has happened.)

        Read this to start: http://www.thomthom.net/thoughts/2013/02/sketchup-plugin-checklist/

        Dan has put together a much more comprehensive collection of links: http://forums.sketchup.com/t/ruby-learning-resources-wikilists/22861
