      That's cool solo, but don't you mean posing solo?:)

      That gave me an idea for an update to ffd plugin for use in posing characters, if we could just place the ffd points in the mesh instead of the standart box position they appear. Is that possible? 😄

        DacaD, Posing and rigging, same thing.
        What would be great is to be able to select a spot and make joints, then using the bend option it only bend at the joint.

        however what we have now works pretty good.

          Cher Fredo, je n'ai qu'un seul mot a vous dire: SUPERBE!

          Hey, Google SketchUp, don't you think Fredo deserves a free license of SU 7 PRO ? I think that his plugins brought you a bunch of extra buyers.

            ups, my mistake then, but i tough rigging was the stuff related with doing the bones for a mesh and conecting them that was then used to animate or pose the mesh, at least from what i can remember from animating in 3dsmax. I also called it posing because of the transpose feature of zbrush that they say artists use to pose characters wihtout doing any rigging... i'm not even sure if that name is righ (in technincal terms and english terms 😛)

            That's a good ideia too, to animate in sketchup, a mix between sketchyphisics and freedo's free scale/bend. the Phisend plugin....lolol

                And then after use Fredo's bend, clean selection can be useful for lighten the object 😉

                  1. Plane Shear is a simple transformation, but it also 'shears' the axes of the components, so that they are no longer orthogonal. Although in most cases you do not have to bother, it might be that some scripts encounter problems with those components if they assume that the axes

                  I might be working on one at the moment. A script that generates a second cutout for cutout components so you can cut through double faced walls. I haven't checked yet, but I have a suspicion that it might not work out the position properly. So I'll see if I can account for this.

                  Did some testing; no problems at all. I don't have to do any consideration for skewing. 😄

                      Thxs a lot Fred for this plugin, your ruby scripts are amazing.
                      Do you think you could add more transformations to it, like bend, twist, Bulge
                      Maybe for a commercial plugin?

                      http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/download/file.php?id=20380&t=1

                      And now you make all of our dreams come true and freely?
                      SU was needing trasformations badly
                      Thanks for this plugin and for your generosity

                      I really love the user interface of those deformations, specially Stretch and Bend, so easy and precise to use.
                      Bend Shear Taper are even easier to use than Bonzai3D deformations.
                      And stretch its amazing I have never seen something like that before, your solution to the problem of keeping some geometry untouch its genius. Only one feature you could add is to give the strech tool the ability to make more paralel planes that deform the model, so it can afect more parts of the geometry at the same time.
                      I only have one problem with the stretch tool some times when i strech something even a simple geometry SU freezes and does not respond, and i have to restart SU.

                      With all your plugins you are giving Sketchup so many atractive and usefull features it's geting updated constantly.
                      Google should change the name of the program for something like FredoUP
                      Thanks again.
                      And yes i think Google should give you a eternal Licence + 1000 for that

                      Get Upa !

                          Shame shame shame on Google for not patting this guys back! How is it that a lone programmer can take sketchup to this level with little resources in comparison to Google? Yet we get Version 7 which is a polished version of 6 yet we all had to pay. Google should either hire Fredo, Whaat, and a few others (did not mean to leave anyone out) or leave the programming to them for 2 years and see what Sketchup becomes!

                          Fredo....thank you for an absolutely AMAZING plugin!

                                      I thought about it, but then it becomes cumbersome in the UI, and you may not easily reach the expected result.
                                      By the way, 2 tips:

                                      1. because Stretching is often just applying an offset, I suggest to call the Dimension box and just type '+100' or '-100' at the end of the current dimension, if your offset is 100. The field supports arithmetic formula.

                                      2. double-clicking on the divider will bring it back to center.

                                      a) Do you apply it to a selection made of embedded components, with several instances (insinde or outside the selection)?

                                      b) Is this something you can reproduce on a given model (if so, can you post it)

                                      to all users: do you encounter similar cases of Freeze?

                                      Thanks

                                      Fredo

                                        You may have just saved me hundreds of hours bending text in SU... much less all the other great things we can think of for these tools....
