Fredo it's genious as always!
Meanwhile I have a lot of unbreakable freezing on stretchig and other tools.
It happens with not over complicated geometry (only one "brick" with a row of simple glued windows onboard).

Could you post one model where you get these freezes.
Does it happen, if prior to the transformation you make the all components unique, via the icon command with a pink '1'?

Problematic command is called "stretching with orientation of scaling box".Try to stretch a couple of times. Freezing happens with twist tool also.

This is normal, as each individual component instance may be deformed differently from the other instances, they have to be made unique.

It's understandable for twist\bend\melt etc. But why for uniform stretch command?

The stretch command isn't uniform.

And you can use the "moving Plan" for make it Uniform by part

Stretching:
F4 to to view the divider plane.
Left click on the divider plane's border to move it parallel to itself.
Double click the divider plane to reset its position to the center of the model.
Right click on the divider plane to have additional (undocumented?) options.

Still won't be a uniform stretch.

OK "Uniform" is wrong definition. But what hamper to allwindows in bulding #3 to become the same "win1_3" (if say original window in unstreched building#1 is "win1"?

Fredo, thank you. The Bend operation is way cool. It even works on unconnected geometry.

That would be nice. Just wondering how easy it is to work out which components remain the same... But if Fredo can solve that I'll make another donation to him.

Fredo! Thank you so much for this unbelieveable plugin!
One step closer to 3dsMax

I don't know what they taught you at the École Polytechnique, but they certainly did a good job with you, Fredo!

Fredo

I am still having some problems. If I install FS, Ver. 2 with FS, Ver. 1 installed I get the message below, pic. V1&2. If I removed Ver. 1, than I get the next message, pic. V2 only.

After I click the OK, the script seems to work OK.

Thanks for the script.

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)

Yes here i post the model
It's a component bench with 1 nested component for the legs that repeats 4 times. I don't have any problems when i stretch the model normally, but when i hit control key to stretch from the center it freezes while I am still stretching the component.

Here i attach a image and the corresponding component

Fredo

Well it seems on one attachment made the trip. Here is pic 2 error message with only FS Ver 2 installed.

jmmad · 30 Mar 2009, 14:38

Fredo,
In this image i get the same problem with stretch
but with normal stretch (no control key hit)
Its the same component only thing i just bet it before 90º then try to strech one end.
Then Freeze SU

Fredo, not big problems but something that i find using FreeScale 2.0:

Trying to change the deformation before clicking to validate the transformation it makes a unexpected result. I don`t know how to explain this in english so i attach a video showing the problem in the twist and taper tool:
twist-taper.wmv
In the plugin configuration (Icons visible in the toolbar option) I remove the Make Unique, the box rotation, and the rotation (free) icons. Works well but it leaves the icon separators. I attach a image of this too:
A feature of the native protactor-rotate tool is missing... The ability of holding down the primary mouse button, and dragging the protractor is great:

http://sites.google.com/site/sketchupsage/tweak/rotate
This option can be added?

Thank you again for this amazings tools,
Daniel S

This is a great addition to SU. Thanks.

I installed the pluging and when I use Radial bending it just rotate the group. I wonder what may be wrong.

Please see attached caption.

Thanks again.

DonVid.

Not so a big deal Stretch before if you want
Just using 2 cool Plugins : "Remove Inner faces" by Wikii, "Clean up Model" by John H. Aughey
That takes 2 seconds for a building of 50 levels (if x = * 50)
Stretch after if you want
