EWOC projects tools has been mostly broken for several releases. As this script set is no longer developed & contains several bugs, I'll give it one week from today to be repaired or it will be removed from contrib.

@ideasman42
errors are endemic: look up table error, instant crashes, lots of instant crashes.
To reproduce, test the addon, lack of bug reports would relate to no bug report button in the addon.
I spoke to @paleajed-3 many months ago & he mentioned no longer supporting this addon & he mentioned removal.
The author will have the opportunity to repair & resubmit the addon should he decide to participate in Blender Addons Development again.

New version 1.4.1 is on the repository now. Really almost only ensure_lookup_table errors needed fixing.

The addon now also has FilletPlus and CreaPrim options that were before only on the separate version on my website.
This is to get both versions to be the same to cut back on maintenance time.

FastOrigin was removed, way to buggy.

hi, re-opening this as there are still fatal crashes & generally not working tools.
@paleajed-3
What would you like to do here? I could merge anything salvageable into mesh extra tools possibly but time is short.
Given the Fatal crashes in this addon, it's not really acceptable anymore in it's current state.
Thanks, I hope you can fix or let me know what you want to do here.
Thanks for your support & participate.
Note I test with current nightly buildbot build & the included version of your addon.
Thanks.

first Error: Fast Origin:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Dell\Downloads\blender-2.78-feb19\blender-2.78.0-git.6f1493f-windows64\2.78\scripts\addons_contrib\ewoc_projects_tools\object_fastorigin.py", line 113, in modal
    del bpy.types.Scene.PreSelOff
AttributeError: PreSelOff

location: <unknown location>:-1

probably can fix this myself & the look up table errors but time is short, addons need to be maintained by authors & up to date.
will give this a few weeks before decisions to remove or split up into working addon.

The operator in the mesh_floodsel.py file causes an Blender Exception.

If there is no possibility to keep it as a whole, maybe some working operators could be merged in the Mesh Edit Tools.

We'll see how everything pans out, with the state of the add-on. However that depends on the stability of the individual tool in question.

hi, removing within 48 hours.
We simply cannot have broken crashing addons, not maintained in our repo's.
