Hi..
I am trying this ruby but doesnt work. I create a simple circle and pull it to give it a height. i then select everything and create group. I then select group and right click and it lets me do 3x3 etc point cloud. When i go into points group and move some points and close group and then right click on geometry group then i dont see update FFD tool. Can someone please help?
I am using sketchup 6 pro

thansk in anticipation.

The ruby works as advertised. I think you need to revisit your steps and have a careful look at how to use the ruby again. Make sure it has subdivided geometry to work with though.

My deformations are not auto updating themselves. Would anyone happen to know why?

It might just be taking a while to work out whats meant to be happeneing or SU might be taking a while to display the deformed geometry.

Hi,

I have downloaded your program sketchy FFD and have put it in the plugins folder. I see it in sketchup when i right click but when i apply it to a group i do not see the update ffd option. can u please tell me wot I'm doing wrong? thanks

If youve got the latest version you shouldnt need the update option, it should do it automatically.

Not always. as a matter of fact I would vote to get the 'update' button re-instated, just for the cases the auto-update doesn't work.

Yeah, the update menu option was removed when I figured out how to auto update. Ill remove it from the post.

I can put it back. But I would rather fix the bug that keeps auto updating from working. Can you send me a model that the FFD doesn't auto update I might be able to figure it out.

Hi CPhillips, it appears that your very great plugin doesn't work within google sketchup 7.
Any idea ?

Thanks in advance

cheers

I'll post an updated version tonight.

Nice one Chris. Will the updated version be any different than previous and will it work with SU6?

REGIS · 17 Nov 2008, 21:04

Thanks a lot CPhilips, I really enjoy your plugin.

cheers

I just tried it out under SU7 (free version) and it seems to work ok. How is it failing for you?

REGIS · 18 Nov 2008, 06:08

Hi the FFD menu doesn't appear in contextual menu.

cheers

CPhillips · 18 Nov 2008, 06:31

Are you sure you installed it in the right place. Should be in the plugins folder.

Can anyone else confirm it does or doesn't work with SU7?

johnsenior1973 · 18 Nov 2008, 06:33

FFD isn't appearing for me in SU7.

It's probably my fault for trying to copy the plugins straight from 6 to 7 though.

johnsenior1973 · 18 Nov 2008, 06:43

Downloaded it again and installed it. It's working for me now.

REGIS · 18 Nov 2008, 07:24

downloaded and installed in google sketchup 7 plugins folder.
Doesn't work

cheers
