TIG, any chance you can put this on the front burner? This is one tool I use(d) very frequently and I am missing it.

Thanks.

TIG

I have to earn a crust too...

Extrude line(s) is maybe the more useful tool in case of headache's situation!
And of course with the new Quads world of SUbD !
(works yet fine in 2015, 2016!

Works fine in PC!

Seems Projections by Didier Bur / Tig works fine also!

Thanks TIG! I haven't tried this one, though I have used extrude Tools and other plugins this way.

Please explain your issues...
How does it 'not work' ?
Does it install ?
Does it load ?
Is there a menu item ?
What happens when you use it ?
Any error messages in the Ruby Console ?

I see no reason that this should not work on a MAC...
The minor recoding was done because v2017 now references / handles some entity explosion results differently...

That's exactly how the previous version failed in v2017 on all OSs - it's not MAC specific.
So have you got the latest version installed ?
The latest RBZ which can be downloaded from the PluginStore fixed this issue [v1.0xx]...
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=extrudelinetool-Modified-TIG

If you are sure you downloaded, installed [perhaps restarted SketchUp?] and are then using the latest version... then if you have the Ruby Console open are there any messages ?

For the avoidance of doubt - in v2017 you install the RBZ file's contents using the SketchUp menu item, Window > Extension Manager... red Install Extension button, find the RBZ and answer in the affirmative when prompted. If you have a plugin already installed then restarting SketchUp will ensure any changes are fully registered.

If you have the SketchUcation ExtensionStore³ installed you can install an update like this directly without recourse to downloading the RBZ manually at all...

Can you open the RB file in a plain-text editor and search for the first line that includes "explode", and copy/paste the whole line, that way I can see if it's the updated version...
It should now say: "ssa=gp.explode" ??

greatoe

I restarted SketchUp and it works fine now.

I installed your plugin via the build-in Extension Manager, and I thought, as you said, it will ensure changes are registered. However it turn out not working and needs a restart of SketchUp.

TIG

The SketchUcation ExtensionStore³ AutoInstaller should reload any refreshed plugins, but the built-in Extension Manager does not - if the script is a simple RB file...
It's always a good idea to restart after updating any scripts, as sometimes they need to read in data as SketchUp starts up and first loads them... That will also resolve any menu changes which are usually 'frozen' as SketchUp starts, and usually not updated with any file reloads...

Glad that it's resolved...

greatoe

Thanks for the advices.

boofredlay

Sorry I did not see this sooner.

THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE!!!

Great tool. Always seemed to me this was a standard function missing in SU.

brother_cain

Just dropped in to say thanks for this! Much appreciated!

Has this been updated for Sketchup 2018?

TIG

It hasn't been updated...
However, it didn't need any changes to work properly in v2018 !
BUT it's not been signed because it's not an extension, just a simple script, and Didier is no longer supporting much of his early work.
Being unsigned should cause no problems with newer SketchUp versions, provided that your Extension Loading Policy is set to 'Unrestricted'.
The Extension Manager dialog will report it as 'unsigned' - that's all, it doesn't stop it working...

There are alternative newer extensions - like my Extrusion Toolset which include similar functionality, and these are signed - however, be aware that with some of the tools in my set v2018 on complex forms can make rare unpredictable BugSplats !
