I actually have the bridge files installed in a common dir:

%(#000000)[C:\Program Files\Google\TBD\SU_Bridge]

.. and then I put a bridge_ext.rb file in each Plugin dir of the SU versions, that loads the files from the common dir.

That way SUB.EXE is always in the same place, and you do not need to change the path to it within Notepad++ regardless of whatever version of Sketchup is loaded.

This is excellent way, and it 's greatness solution ,thanks for your kindly help

If all of your circles are 'flat' then use normal=Z_AXIS.clone and it'll work just fine...

Line#210 normal=@inputpoints[0].normal - will give an error as a 'point' doesn't have a 'normal' - that's a 'face'/'arc' method ??

Also to tidy things up, replace @GetPoint - an instance constant - with @getPoint - an instance variable...

Thom and TIG  have tried to help me find any error in code, you both  warm me up there :+1: ,  this help is much to me ,  btw I can't find this cause :unamused:  ,however this fill me persistency :tada:   and I must solve this error in finally

 Thanks very much

After I re-thing about Thom & TIG 's commnet , I decide convert last entity to group, before repeat drawing ,it solve error when I draw new object again to last face , but I still don't know why I can't define method else on new face which close in other face
by the way I thanks you Thom & TIG for suggestion

@cir_face = entities.add_face edges ----------> drawing it on existing face

if not(@cir_face.normal.samedirection? @dir_vec) ---------> get error "undefine method 'normal' on nil "

This, "undefine method 'normal' on nil means that @cir_face is nil - which means your add_face method failed. When you get such errors it's worth inspecting the values of the variables you use in case they do not contain the data your expect.

Could it be that the variable edges which you feed add_face does not have valid content to create a face?

Hi Gaieus
You just helpfully to support my post for looking , I appreciate and thanks for your kindly helpfulness , it was seem very easy to reading

Hi thom
Thanks very much , you explain that cause to me clearly , but I still doubt some time this code is functionally, when I draw this face in empty space and error in very time , when I try repeat drawing new face to existing faces
In my idea for coding, I attempt to coding a plug-in to help me to draw piping on desirous direction , I use "notepad++" to code plug-in to draw initial circle face in any direction and pull face long to cylinder as desire.
I got success it to draw in empty space , but fail in repeat with some condition as picture below

circle_any_plan_&Pull.rb

I just learning ruby code in SU, and found problem about draw a face onto existing face, I can identify any method in new face further , such as

<span class="syntaxdefault"><br /></span><span class="syntaxkeyword">@</span><span class="syntaxdefault">cir_face </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">=</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> entities</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">.</span><span class="syntaxdefault">add_face edges                     </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">----------></span><span class="syntaxdefault"> drawing it on existing face<br /><br />if not</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">(@</span><span class="syntaxdefault">cir_face</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">.</span><span class="syntaxdefault">normal</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">.</span><span class="syntaxdefault">samedirection</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">?</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">@</span><span class="syntaxdefault">dir_vec</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">)</span><span class="syntaxdefault">        </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">---------></span><span class="syntaxdefault"> get error </span><span class="syntaxstring">"undefine method 'normal' on nil "</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> <br />  puts </span><span class="syntaxstring">"change to initial direction"<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">  </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">@</span><span class="syntaxdefault">cir_face</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">.</span><span class="syntaxdefault">reverse</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">!<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">end<br /></span>

any one please help me to explain why cause of this error , I don't understand why I can't undentify this method

thanks everyone in advance

Thanks , it is great script for mechanic model favour, this plug-in shall mostly advance to project 3d model in STD plan,

shame that rubbish BBS

sound be true , I am try to read through its link, many people can't do anything with this script,

as previously with my reckless post , after I unzip that file in SU6 , and try as they claim again, it work !!
I apologize and regret for my reckless at previously posted
so I just use my dict. and read all words in chinese,
so it can translate that right status text is
"请选泽一条边线 或者 拖选两条边线后输入尺寸"
mean
"Please select one edge side line or drag select to both line to input dimension back"
and left status text for input first method select is
"长度“ mean "Length"
and left status text for second method is
"距离" mean "Distant for apart to be"

sorry for my bad
