Thanks a lot, it is just what I looking for. This tool can be updated? Sad it have no own button and can't select edges which will be extruded. Anyway this tool makes me happy=)

Does the Extrude Edges select the new set of edges ready to be extruded again?

ExtudeEdgesByRails does leave the original three picked curves still selected, but if you run the tool again they are deselected and you must re-pick the profile and the rail(s)...
Why the question ?
I think you are confusing my tool with Didier's ExtrudeLine tool, which now does what you asked, based on some code I clobbered together...

The question is because this is the thread for Didier's tool, and it doesn't select the new edges created. At least not the one in this thread. Is there an update elsewhere?

funny. took me some time to read the title of this thread too...

but indeed. for me it doesn't select the new edges either...

This got a bit side tracked with my tool...
Didier's Extrude Line Tool is within his Projection Toolset... look for that http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=20140&p=171585&hilit=projection#p171585

Hi Didier, love this plug-in!

Just wondering if it's worth an option to hide geometry on curves and also an option o make a group or component?

Cheers, A

As I have said in some other threads for to Didier's 'packed' plugins...
Edit the plugin's .rb file using Notepad.
At the end of the code it says:
.unpack("m")**.to_s**
change the end part to read
.unpack("m")**[0]**
Save and restart SketchUp...
It should now work fine in any SketchUp version.

TIG

Didier has agreed that I might update some of his Plugins in the PluginStore.
Please get the latest version from the PluginStore http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=extrudelinetool-Modified-TIG This is v2014/2015 compatible.

Sketchup 2015 64bit sometimes freezes when I use this.

Ruby Console errors ?
It IS an old script - there are now better solutions.
I updated it for Didier, only for completeness...
