[Plugin] Edge Tools

[EarthMover]

Thom, just finished a project where the Edge Tools came in so handy. What a time saver you've created. Thanks again.

I was wondering if it would be possible to create an additional tool that acts like the Divide Face tool, but does it simultaneously on two opposing faces connected by a shared (corner) edge. I do a lot of corner trim and siding details that require this and do it manually at the moment. It would also be handy for subdividing purposes. Something simple that does like in the image in a single click with a distance input. I guess you could say it's an "offset corner". I figured I'd ask you first as it seems like a logical addition to this toolset.

Lately I've not had as much time as I used to. So I don't feel I can commit to anything right now. Sorry.

Well, this feature would be nice to be added to Artisan! As a free-update. Maybe somebody reads this!

[EarthMover]

No worries bro. Just a thought for the next update whenever you get around to it.

[harnstein]

Just wanted to say thanks! Comes in very handy!

Great work you're doing, man

[rock1]

wow!!! Truly out of the world. The most useful one I found was that this plugin automatically detects edges and heals them . Thanks a lot thomthom!!

Thom,

when using 'split faces into multiple' then inputting an array only *# works (not #*). Not a major thing but thought you'd like to know.

It's the same for #/

hmm... never knew that was a input format. That shouldn't be too hard to add.

[Rich O Brien]

Strange thing is I never knew the other method of input until I used this tool.

Anyway it's no biggie as I'm sure you're up to your eyes as it is.

[thomthom]

I've had an update lingering for this anyway (small compatibility fix). So I need to get it out anyway.

thom,

I have run into a small problem: when I hover over the icons on the toolbar I get no feedback as to what each icon refers to. to be more precise, the name of the tools do not appear. I am on mac. do you have a fix for that? or, is there any place where I could find what each icon in the toolbar means?

[thomthom]

hmm... no tooltips...? how odd...
and you get it on other plugins`?

I don't see why there should be a difference for OSX on this...

I do not get it with any other plugin, including your own. all the others work fine. edge tools is the only one in which the problem appears.

I noticed on my Mac if Edge tools toolbar is horizontal there was no feedback yet works fine vertical.

position the toolbar vertically then quit sketchup.. relaunch and the tooltips should work.

[thomthom]

eh? Is this a know OSX issue?
what an bizzare one...

bizarre indeed! the tooltips are working now! and what a useful plugin this is! thanks for it, thom.

it's hard to say since sketchup is the only app i use that allows you to drag a toolbar to the top of the screen and it will switch to horizontal orientation.
it's very weird toolbar behavior in OSX world so i doubt it's a known issue since no apps do it.

i just stumbled upon it one day when i tried 1001bit toolbar across the top of my screen.

(bonzai has a few horizontal toolbars but their tooltips (vert&horizontal) aren't standard so they've done something to modify the icons/tooltips)

[nicasiojoel]

Thom, Thanks a lot. This should be a must on all sketchup user. A very useful plug. It makes work easier and faster.
