      I'm hoping I can get the problem I'm having sorted out. I've tried downloading and re-downloading the skin.rb with the icons but I just can't get it to show. I've made sure it's placed correctly, made sure it has been enabled, tried moving the icons from the skin folder to the main plugins folder (where the skin.rb resides) doesn't make a difference.

      Any ideas people?

        I know Voder, but those Edges should be smoothed.

        I'm not sure I follow your point, Coen.

        Sorry for my late reply. I usually don't check my own posts I make in the forums. Bad habit I know. I'm usually caught up in other stuff happening in the backend.
        Anyway, I made a video explaining what I mean. Please have a look.

        I guess I did the same thing you did, Coen. That is, I failed to check back for a reply, and now months later, I find that you replied some time ago. Well no matter; we'll get to the bottom of this eventually, even if it takes years.

        I viewed your video. It still seems to me that the failure of the Soften dialog to smooth those particular edges is not a bug, for exactly the reason I stated previously, namely, they constitute the case of an edge that separates two faces that are coplanar within the one-decimal-place precision of the slider. That's what the "Soften Coplanar" checkbox is for.

        I just performed a small experiment. I created a wavy surface like the one you did and smoothed it using the Soften dialog, as you did. And as with your case, there were a few edges (which separated what appeared to be coplanar faces) that did not get smoothed. And when I checked the "Soften Coplanar" checkbox, they were smoothed. It seems to work fine to me; I don't know why you think it's buggy.

        Tell me this: if not for situations like this, then what is the "Soften Coplanar" checkbox for?

          Ah.

          And what of my other earlier question? When you reported this as a bug during version 5 Beta testing, what was @Last's response? Did they acknowledge it as a bug?

              It's pretty obvious, Juju, but you didn't mention that you checked the DB Tools toolbar. Did you?

                It's there all right, but what are the icons (the image files contained in the "skin" folder within the plugins folder) for then?

                  Those images are the icons (command buttons) that appear on the DB Tools toolbar. There are four images in the skin sub-folder--a large and a small icon for each of the the two commands, Clean and Skin. The two that are used for the toolbar depends on whether you have "Use large tool buttons" checked under preferences. I suggest you put the image files back in the skin sub-folder so they will show up on the toolbar.

                    Hello, friends, long time no see. Lament no longer over the fact that this script is not in development. I've recently gotten back to working on this script and have a new version for you all.

                      Darrel,

                      I'm delighted to see you back, and I'm excited that there's a new version. Would you mind explaining a bit about the new options?

                      Thanks for this.

                            Dear Darrel,

                            I note that the new script adds something extra. Do you have a User Guide document to explain how best to use this script?

                            Kind regards,
                            Bob

                                Skin.rb was originally designed to only "skin", or connect, the sides, but it became evident that it sometimes should "prep", or prepare the sides for skinning by splitting the edges. I came up with two methods for skinning the sides and two methods for preparing the sides. I used to have a button for each method, but now I have one skin button and the settings dialog sets what methods skin.rb uses. I hope that you can figure it out. If someone can explain it better than me, please do.

                                  Darrel,

                                  It's not obvious to me what the benefit of prepping is. The granularity of the resulting shape is still determined by the original edges, is it not?

                                  Thanks,

                                  ~Voder

                                    Voder, prepping the edges creates the effect that the edges are connected, not just the vertices.Example1.jpgExample2.jpg

                                            Good day.

                                            I am a MacOS user and unfortunately, version 23 does not appear to work any longer. V22 does, so I don't know what the issue is. It doesn't crash SU but doesn't do anything beyond have the buttons toggle and change color. Nothing untoward happens just no change in state of the model.

                                            Mac OSX v10.5.5 MacBook Pro 2.33, 3gb Ram, 256 ATI X1600

                                            The earlier versions have worked fine until this point.

                                            Many thanks.
