Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v1.8a - 12 Jan 11
Here is the screen shot. I pressed print screen then pasted it on paint, but the mouse was did not appear on paint, so i took another photo that shows it on close-up. The construction line isnt showing as i move my pointer away from the initial point. I tried specifying a diameter/distance, but nothing happened. Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v1.8a - 12 Jan 11Do you get guidelines if you use the yellow Tape measure tool? I'm wondering if this is an OpenGL setting issue.

Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v1.8a - 12 Jan 11
Yes, everything works fine but my tools on surface plugin. Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v1.8a - 12 Jan 11Is it possible the construction lines are inside your cylinder? What do you see if you switch to X-ray face style?

Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v1.8a - 12 Jan 11Weird.
I'm on my Mac right now but it is playing fine for me. I'll check on my PC when I get home. Have you installed the most recent version? Etaoin Shrdlu

Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v1.8a - 12 Jan 11Ive installed the ToolsOnSurface16c found on Ruby library depot. Ive tried installing the one uploaded in this website, but it doesn't start. All it says on the command line is "Loading all Ruby files for plugin Tools on Surface", tried waiting to load, but still nothing.
Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v1.8a - 12 Jan 11Oh, what I meant by it doesnt start is Tools on surface appears, but when I click it, it doesnt do anything, all it shows in the command line is "Loading all Ruby files for plugin Tools on Surface"
Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v1.8a - 12 Jan 11That makes me think you have either a plugin installation problem or perhaps incorrectly set permissions for the Plugins folder. Perhaps you could make a screen shot of Windows Explorer showing the Plugins folder and its contents as well as a screen shot of the Security tab under Properties for the Plugins folder.

Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v1.8a - 12 Jan 11Maybe we're onto something. Or just on something.
![]() The fact that 'Compatibility files' shows in the top row of buttons in your screenshot of the Plugins folder indicates insufficient privileges for you. And in the second screenshot it appears you don't have full permissions to the folder. Click on Compatibility files and restart SketchUp. See if that changes anything. You might as well change your permissions to Full for the Plugins folder which you would do by clicking the Edit button under the Security tab. Etaoin Shrdlu

Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v1.8a - 12 Jan 11Hey fredo, I need a little bit of help installing the tool, I can't open the zip folder because it says it's some archive or it's invalid, could you change the extension for it?
Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v1.8a - 12 Jan 11
I would suggest you install via the SCF Plugin Store tool. This is really the safest way. Fredo

Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v2.0a - 12 Nov 13From the very first post of this thread...
Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v2.0a - 12 Nov 13I have looked around and I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else. When I try to draw shapes on a sphere (smooth or not), faces get deleted randomly. Sometimes I can get it to come back with the line tool, but sometimes I can't. Am I missing something?
Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v2.0a - 12 Nov 13How big is the sphere?
There's a frontroom and a backroom....reverse faces
Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v2.0a - 12 Nov 13This example is 2" wide, the one I was working on is 4". Is that the issue? It just needs to be bigger? Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v2.0a - 12 Nov 13Yep. Try scaling up by 100x.

Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v2.0a - 12 Nov 13Not that it matter here but you are working inside out. You should work with the faces orientated correctly or you will run into problems. The Default front face is white and back face bluegray.
Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v2.0a - 12 Nov 13Before using any "surface" tools (tools-on-surface, Joint-push-pull, etc) do an Orient Faces first.
It really does not matter which face is outside, although standard practice is "white outside - blue inside" as Box noted. The missing faces is an SU quirk when 1 side is tiny. Scaling up does solve that problem, but sometimes scaling up then back down creates a placement problem. So to prevent that, I make the overall object, or just a piece of it a temporary component, and copy it away in free space. Then I do an OUTSIDE of box scale up, edit that and do the surface operation. It will be duplicated on the original, intact. Then delete the scaled up working copy and explode the original comp. __________________
jgb Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v2.0a - 12 Nov 13In some cases it does matter which faces are out. It's good practice to do housekeeping as you go along and correct reversed faces and otherwise keep the model clean. It can pay off big later on. As with anything computer related, GIGO applies.

Thanks Re: [Plugin] Tools On Surface - v2.0a - 12 Nov 13It's amazing what you can find if you look at the first post in a thread.
