      Cool, I'll be waiting everyday for it.

      a very good tip to do it in pieces. didn't know that gives the same result (wasn't aware of the "extend to neighbors" function either of course).

      yeah, lets wait for SU7. I still haven't given up hope that Google will do something truely amazing...

        While I'm late, I still want to show my appreciation for the fact that you gave out this script for free, Fredo. It's really a nice piece of programming, and the way it's integrated within the SU toolribbon makes it feel very natural. If Google's watching this, they'd do good to just add the plugin to SU7; why waste time on something that's already there while you can make the next version even better?

        More varied than the Borg, more powerful than the living dead, and better shots than Imperial Stormtroopers.

        You've gotta love Slivers.

            I'm sure you are tired of all the people thanking you, but I have to thank you for putting this script up.
            It's quite simply brilliant and now an essential part of sketchup for me.
            Thank you again.

              Fredo,

              Can you please include inference locking to the Vector Push/Pull mode? Holding Shift to lock inference doesn't seem to work for me.

              Also, why is the toolbar labeled NUL Transformation? Perhaps Joint Push Pull is better. After all, that is the name of the plug-in and its current name may be a bit confusing when new users look for it in their toolbars menu.

              As always thanks!

              This never occurred to me, Coen. Thanks, I've changed my toolbar label.

                Joint Push Pull Question
                by Jim57 on Wed Nov 26, 2008 10:50 pm

                I'm offsetting a curved shape on the wall of a cylinder, then insetting the inner panel with Joint Push Pull. It spans 8 facets of the cylinder, and the outer curve has 20 line segments. I made sure all the vertexes of the curve lined up with the edges of the facets, to simplify the work.

                When I type in an amount for JPP (.125") the VBS shifts to: "Elts **** / **% **.**sec" (where the asterisks are numbers rapidly ascending until they hit somewhere around Elts 1200 / 100% 55 sec, when the processing is over. If I can manage to offset the surface accurately to 1/8" on my trackpad, it hardly takes any time.

                My question is, why the difference? What does "Elts" mean?

                Thanks,
                Jim

                  "Elts" means essentially faces to be processed.
                  I am not clear about what is exactly the problem you highlight.

                    The tool does the job, it's not a problem like that.

                    If I type in a number the processing takes about a minute, but if I can move the cursor the exact amount it's almost instantaneous. I'm curious about why the difference.

                    Thanks,

                    Jim

                      In regards to the context menu; it'd be nice if it only displayed the menu entries when you have face entities selected. No need for it to appear when you've only got lines, groups and/or components etc selected. When a user, like me, have a few plugins installed the context menu quickly fill up.

                        I downloaded the plugin and used it to extrude a concrete base and 2 walkways, but when I used the joint push pull and then tried to stamp a small box on it, it crashed. Every time. Is there a fix for this? I enclosed the file

                          Yes it bugsplats, even when you remove the vertical border to the offset surface. Difficult to tell whether this comes from JPP or from the Sandbox Stamp tool, which may not like the generated surface (in particular the triangles in the angles). This is the first time such a bug is signaled, so I don't know too much what can be done. I'll think about it however.

                          Fredo

                          PS: If you just want to draw the rectangle (or any shape) on the curved surface, you may want to try with ToolsOnSurface.

                            I have no explanation, because whether you drag the mouse or enter a number in the VCB, you end up in a stage where you still need to double-click or to press enter to start the JPP process. So there should be no difference actually!

                            I am interested to have a model where the difference can be perceived.

                                I will rework Joint Push Pull at some point.
                                In between, here is an updated version where menus are put in a submenu Joint Push Pull (both main and selection context menu).
                                I also integrated the bit of code for toolbar remanence on Mac.

                                Can someone test it before I update the main post. Thanks.

                                Fredo

                                      Works well here too.
                                      And then you need to reassign your shortcuts 😉.

                                          I have a question regarding joint push pull.
                                          It is illustated by the skp file.
                                          example.skp
                                          I hope that i am doing something wrong, or that some of my settings are wrong.
                                          It would be great if the desired outcome whould be possible

                                            Bep,

                                            I think you simply touch some of the limitations of JPP. I am afraid this is a pure geometrical problem.
                                            Try to Push pull individually the faces by 2 cm, and then see how they can be connected 'jointly'. You'll see that there is no good solution.

                                            Fredo
