Great plugin. Is there a way to close the gaps in sharp corners just like in "Pipe Along Path"?

Can't get Daniels icons to show. If I choose them from Default Parameters and ok it, nothing happens. If I open again, the tick in the box is gone.

I replaced the icons in "IMAGES_Standard" subfolder with the icons set of choice and all went ok.

That did the trick:)------> Thanks.

Is this the same/different plugin by author D. Belvin?

Check the face orientation of the face onto which you applied the image. My guess is you applied the material to the back face.

Good call buddy. The face was in reverse. I see that sketchup draws a rectangle, for example, with the back side facing up by default. Thanks for your lucky guess

Why does Sketchup(7) saves the imported texture/image in reverse? I have a picture, for example, that's a profile of a woman's face; her nose is pointing left but when i save it in the material menu her face is pointing right. It's annoying. I know that it can be edited but is there a way for sketchup to save the orientation correctly?

For those who are saying nothing happens, well, you have to make each object a group/component. I was having the same problems like some of you until i made each object separate from eachother. When you place them together you choose one object then right click to the plugin and choose "cut" and depending of which object you chose you'll get the "negative" or "positive" cut. Although, I think there is a bug when you place an object in a severe angle inside, it tends to cut almost all of the opposite object leaving expose in the air only the hole that the other object traced. I wonder if the creator of this plugin is still working on the new release.

Fredo, I noticed something else. I have SU v7 and I have this other plugin with a SU example. This example file is of SU v6.4 and to my surprise I can see CadFather icons there! But not in my SU v7.

UPDATE

Fredo, I uninstalled all the plugins that I downloaded to see if there was a conflict. I reinstalled your plugin first with CadFather icons and voila it worked!! So, it seems that there was a conflict with another plugin. I will go ahead and reinstall one by one the rest of the plugins too see which one is the culprit. I'll let you know.

UPDATE #2

Fredo, the second plugin I reinstalled was your FredoScale 2.0g and now I get a warning message in SU:

undefined method []' for nil:NilClassError Loading File ZLoader__OnSurface.rb undefined method []' for nil:NilClass

If you model a lot of profile-based geometry as part of your job, ProfileBuilder will pay for itself in a day or less.

I hope you don't feel insulted by me asking what I asked(it wasn't my intention) Since there are tons of plugins out there I thought maybe somebody had something similar already. No, I don't do profile-based geometry as part of my job. I guess that IS the reason why i don't want to pay for the plugin. But your plugin is so amazing that i wouldn't be surprise if i buy it, lol. You have the right to CHARGE for your talent and I have the right to SHOP for the best deal

Maybe you still run TOS 1.2.
Can you check the file ZLoader__onSurface.rbto verify that it contains the correct reference to TOS_Dir_13 (alternately, reinstall the plugin, making sure you overwrite all files, including ZLoader__onSurface.rb).
Fredo

I remember that a week ago I installed Offset On Surface version 1.0. Then I installed TOS version 1.1(That one has the toolbar that I want to get rid of) I eliminated both plugins before installing v1.3 except for LibTraductor.rb. Btw, the new icons overwrote yours but there was still some old icons of yours leftover.

Am I doing something wrong? I place CadFather icons in the TOS v13 folder but I still get Fredo icons. I don't mind really but I wonder what is happening.

The folder is named TOS_Dir_13. I guess this is what you mean.
I also assume that:

• you unzipped correctly the CadFather icons into the folder (can you check the right files are there)
• you restarted Sketchup
• if you use both SU6 and SU7, you did not mix up the file copy.

Otherwise, this looks strange. You can always delete all the png files in the folder and replace them by CadFather's files.

Fredo

I extracted the Cadfather icons into the TOS_Dir_13. I deleted your icons to be sure I restarted sketchup but I still get your icons.

You can't find that because, as far as i know, the latest version is the 1.3.
And you can find that here.

Then I need some glasses because it says so in here:

You can use the "Power Tools" which has a Profile Builder included. It is not free.
More information you'll find here:

Thanks for the link but I meant a free plugin that does something like Profile Builder.

Hi, I can't seem to find the ToolsOnSurface 1.5 version to download.

Hi, this is my first post and my question is: Is there a plugin that is an alternative for Profile Builder?
