Just Released! Subdivide and Smooth

Dale,
Can you make the plugin so that the proxy object is created on a "proxy" layer so i can easily hide/unhide?

or will that destroy the functionality of it?

This question is discussed here:
http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=253&t=9233

I may add a feature in the future to automaticaly put the proxy object on a separate layer. This seems to be a common problem.

Thanks cheffey!

Whell ... not exactly a problem, but indeed a slow-downer. I have do it manually for now, every time.
So I second the motion.
Oh and it also helps to put the transparent "boxes" on their own layer.
Many, many thanks.

And another example of work with it.

Whaat · 23 May 2008, 17:51

impressive stuff, mariocha! Hope you are enjoying the plugin!

mariocha · 23 May 2008, 18:25

I sure am.
And anybody who wants that model will have to pay you and CPhilips (FDD). !

as i wrote, i have to get this plugin sooner or later.

in the meantime, may i ask why in the billing information page the adress and the phone are required? i mean, isn't this just a file to download

Is this the first time you've used PayPal? It will be PayPal wanting your address and phone number, not Smustard. PayPal will just be trying to verify that it is a legitimate use of card and not someone trying to use a stolen one.

Dear Mario,

Do you really draw this rose with S&S ? If so, would you be kind enough to share the process?

:-)simon

mariocha · 9 Jun 2008, 21:22

Yes I did.
It is not very hard actually.
1- Draw a petal, (I did only one) with S&S. Start with a simple shape. The crease tool is usefull at certain points and edges. Once satisfied, leave S&S and fine tune the resulting component (subsurf) by editing some vertex, if needed.
2- Once you like it, copy the component around and use Flip along Axes and Scale to vary the look.
3- The stem was shaped with FDD, after S&S.
4- Same for the leaves, S&S then FDD. I did two basic components, copied and modified. (They are more like tulip leaves though)
The thorns kind of happened by accident while doing some FDD.
That's part of the fun. Et voilà.

simon le bon · 9 Jun 2008, 22:36

A tulip of course. A Beautiful tulip with thorns. Thx dear Mario for sharing this nice exemple. i'm going to exercise myself with it tomorrow!! ;-)simon

cruelcomedy · 23 Jul 2008, 08:14

I did these just to test it out and making organic shapes is so much easier with this thing. thank you!

I used podium to render these.

remus · 23 Jul 2008, 09:03

Indeed it is a very nice tool, sweet renders btw

marleus · 30 Jul 2008, 06:19

Finally got it

Thanks, its a great helper.....

Hi

I often use the knife tool - but it crashes SU 7 very often. Is this a known issue ?

Thanks
Jorgensen

remus · 19 Feb 2009, 11:17

Yes, i think the knife tool is known to be quite buggy.

You might want to try out whaats zorro2 script instead, does the same thing but has a number of improvements.

Hello,

I found this forum after experiencing a problem with the Subdivide & Smooth ruby.

The icons will not display in the toolbar. The toolbar is there but it only shows blank squares. If I hover over the blank squares, I get the proper description and the script preforms properly.

Attached is a screenshot of my plugin folder. (Mac OS X 10.5.6 - Sketchup Pro 7.0.8656)

Thank you,
Grant

(I should add that it works fine on my laptop - Mac OS X 10.4.11 - Sketchup Pro 6.4.120)

This is a known, and solved issue.

Thank you kannonbal! That fixed it.
