Much appreciated for all the great help. I don't feel so dumb in that there wasn't really an easy answer I wasn't getting...

@cotty - that is exactlywhat I was trying to do in your image!

Hi, not exactly a SketchUp or SketchUcation newbie (mostly lurking here), but this one has me stumped. I'm sure the answer is simple but I've searched and can't find a suitable answer.

Imagine you have two square table legs that are angled to each other (splayed from the table top). Now, what I'm trying to do is extrude a section from the middle of one leg to the middle of the other, BUT, obviously, staying parallel to the ground. What's happening is the extrusion is going off parallel to the LEG. Now, somewhat of a work-around is to extrude it and then move the face so that the extrusion becomes parallel to the ground, but hampering this not ideal method is the fact that once the extrusion goes "into" or close to the other leg trying to move that extrusion becomes next to impossible...

I'm hoping that I'm just being dumb and that someone will say "just hold this key down while you extrude it and you can stay parallel to any plane..." but I can't find any such information anywhere.

Thanks,
Glenn

Oh, well, gave up on this and went back to SU7... bought Booltools and seems to work perfect.

Maybe you need enable OSCoolean toolbar? If I recall right, OSCoolean toolbar is not automatically enabled.
btw great plugin, thanks for update.

Does this OSCoolean boolean plug-in require the toolbar mentioned above? I cannot find it and it is not mentioned in the first post as a requirement.

I am not even SEEING the plug-in as an option in SU8. I downloaded SU8 SPECIFICALLY to let me use this plug-in. This is extremely frustrating. I am NOT a new SU user; I have SU7 with various plug-ins.

I'm using Win7 and my SU8 plugins folder has the Oscar folder and OSCoolean.rbs file. The latter is dated 2nd Oct 2010, downloaded today 21DEC10.

What am I doing wrong? Has anyone else encountered this? (Yes, I am restarting SU after installing plug-in).

As I said somewhere else in a review of this plug-in, it goes waaaay beyond that status and should have been a part of the original programme. Google snap this guy up! - No, wait, don't!! - We'd have to pay for this stuff then!

Great stuff.
