      So here goes my duh:

      @bob james said:

      This seems so simple that it must already exist, but I could not find it.

      For example: I want to make a 4" square post at a specific spot. If I wanted a round post there I would just select the circle tool, place the cursor at the point and drag out (or put a value in the VCB).

      I'd like to be able to do that for a square: select tool, place the cursor at the point and drag out (or put a value in the VCB)

      I apologize if this already exists

      LOL bob you can make your life difficult if you draw a 4 sided circle and explode it.

      Or you can make your life painless if you draw a 4 sided polygon without exploding it.

      Those two are native tools. Do you forget sketchup also has native tools?

      Duh 😳
      (But still think it would be a useful one-click native tool) πŸ˜†

    • RE: [Plugin] Work Plane

      When I apply the normals tool the normal set is rotated. The primary axes are in the standard directions.

    • RE: Power Toolbar (2.5) - fix for 2019

      @cadfather said:

      Bob, fairly sure you haven't really uninstalled it somehow. try it manually, there are only 2 files: _jhs01_powerbar.rb and the jhs folder. delete them and reinstall

      Did that. Three times. Loaded it three ways: Importing rbz, opening the rbz with WinZip and extracting the files, and Plugin Store. Also, only used the standard plugin folder so no duplication in two locations.
      Must just be having a bad hair day

    • RE: Power Toolbar (2.5) - fix for 2019

      Toolbar came up just fine, but it's not the one pictured above. The one that comes up is one long bar with no check boxes.

      UPDATE
      uninstalled it, then re-installed JHS_PowerBar_2015_v2.0.rbz.
      Now I get two sets of icons in one long string. I've taken a picture of the center section of the bar. Now its too long to fit in SU!! There are 44 icons that are bad and 44 that are good. Seems like it's trying to load two sets of icons. The _ICONS folder has 44 of each size (16 and 24).

    • RE: IDrawnics-piping plugin

      It's free like a razor is free: buying the components at $4 - $9 each will add up very quickly. 😎

      @unknownuser said:

      A DIY package will soon be available for those who want to create there own components and apply the iDrawnics features.

      This will make things much more attractive.

      In any event, this sure beats 3skeng's hefty yearly "rental" fees for the components.

    • Can't see all of the Fredo Tools

      Title says it all: Fredo Tools Launcher window is too small. Arrowing down does not make the list move.

      kilgo, shut up and just be happy with things.

      Better yet, just quietly go away.

    • RE: [Plugin] Q JS ALIGN TOOLBAR

      This is one of my most frequently used plugins since Jan Sandstrom (Pixero) first created it in 2009 (and then with CadFather's welcome addition of the toolbar).
      I still wish there was some way to choose which one is the one you want to stay fixed 😎

      :heart_eyes: 
      

      I'm happy to announce to TIG and Fredo that all is well ❗
      I deleted:

      • LibTraductor.rb
        JPP_Dir_20
        ROUNDCORNER_Dir_23
        TOPOSHAPER_Dir_10
        TOS_Dir_18
        cd_power_extension_m.rb
        cd_power_m.rb
        cd_power_n.rb
        Although I don't know which one was the bad guy because I deleted all of them at once. I didn't use SketchUcation Plugins Manager because I've never used it before and didn't want to mess things up by doing it incorrectly.

      'BZ_Dir_17' is Bezierspline
      'DOCUMENTATION_Dir' is empty

      I'm sure you both are relieved as much as I that this is resolved.
      Thank you both for your extra effort and patience. πŸ‘
