Box,

After having changed the position of the surface from horizontal to vertical, and changed the path from pointing downwards at an angle of about 42° to 0°, I also used the Scale tool to increase the size of the whole thing by 100; this appeared to make the FollowMeAndKeep Extension do what I wanted. Then I used the Scale tool to take me back to the original size; all was good.

So, I have finally solved my problem and once again thank everyone for their help and suggestions.

TIG,

When I used the Mirror Extension (which I assume was written by you), the console was populated with information, because I made a mistake in the way I used the extension.

When I used the FollowMeAndKeep Extension there were no comments in the Ruby Console, but nothing happened either.

However, subsequently, I changed the position of the surface from horizontal to vertical, and changed the path from pointing downwards at an angle of about 42° to 0° which then created the extrusion. But it did not correctly follow the path will have to try other angles, dimensions, etc. until I get it right.

Previously I have used the Eneroth Upright extruder, but I had problems with that one as well.

I shall keep on trying.

Thank you all for your help.

Pilou,

Thank you for that information.

TIG,

The Ruby Console was blank when I used FollowMeAndKeep but when I used Mirror the console was populated with information.

TIG,

In the Extension Manager, FAK is there and it is marked as Enabled.

As I mentioned previously, under Extensions, I have FollowMeAndKeep and Mirror Selection. Mirror Selection works, but FollowMeAndKeep does nothing. However, when I downloaded FAK.skp, at the beginning of this forum, and clicked on FollowMeAndKeep it worked; why?

Unfortunately, I am very new to SketchUp and I do not know what you mean by, ‘Run it with the Ruby Console open to see if there are any issues.’ Where do I find the Ruby Console?

johnmtb

TIG,

It was from clicking on the, ‘More Info’, that I got to this forum. And, I have read all of the posts but found nothing that would help me.

Also, as I mentioned earlier, on the menu line, under Extensions, I have FollowMeAndKeep and Mirror Selection. Mirror Selection works, but FollowMeAndKeep does nothing.

Any ideas?

johnmtb

TIG,

where do I find the usage notes?

johnmtb

juju,

I have done as you suggest and it is now in the Extension Manager as enabled.

It also appears as FollowMeAndKeep, under Extensions, but I do not see it in the Toolbars, so how do I get it onto the main screen?

johnmtb

Wikii,

I can see the extension in my Extension Manager, but it shows up as, ‘Blocked’. If I click on the arrow, I am advised that it is unsigned.

What do I do please?

johnmtb

Box,

that was the answer I needed.

thank you all.

Fredo,

I have watched your VisuHole 1.0 Overview and have tried to emulate your actions, there are no verbal instructions, in my SketchUp Pro 2020, but all I get is a dotted outline of the stencil; no holes.

I start by creating a block 1.0 foot thick, make sure that it is selected, then using the default stencil, I click on the Drill Thru and double click on the stencils which, as I said leaves a dotted outline but no holes.

And, to answer Pilou, I am using Fredo LIB v 9.5D.

I again ask whether there are any written instructions that I may follow, or an explanation of what I am doing wrong?

I have watched several videos on using VisuHole, including the one from Fredo6 collection, and I am still unable to make any holes.

Are there any written instruction on how to use VisuHole?
