      Fredo, is there a way I can change your shortcuts F4 and F5 to something else? I have used these for years for other things in SU (toggling parallel/perspective cam= F4 and toggling xray mode is F5)

      so the twist tool only turns my group around... not actually twisting anything.

        You can configure these yourself. Tools->Fredo Collection->FreeScale->Default Parameters.

          To expand upon Chris Fullmer's insight, one of the things Google did was release a 'free' version of SU. That free stuff brought in a lot of talented plugin coders from all over the world who applied their coding magic to add extra functionality to this program.

          SU developers can and should concentrate their energy on making this the best rendering engine which people can customize to best fit their needs.

          Fredo, your coding efforts shouldn't be free. Google can give out a free version as it helps draw in people to make SKP a popular and dominating extension, and for more people to use their other products and services. Like @last and many other software developers, many plugin developers deserve to earn money for their effort too.

                  LOL

                  I was looking at some of the 'gotoschool' and 'youtube' tutorials, they seem so primitive now that we have these cool new plugins to get the job done faster and easier.

                  looks like they are back to basics, creating new tutorials, see? your plugins keep everyone busy.

                            Look at the bottom of the first post. There is a file there. There is also a link in that first post to another thread that has a file you must download. D/L and install them both as described in various places in the thread, and you should be set to go.

                              fredo, would it be possible to allow users to enter a distance in the VCB once the bend tool has been anchored ie: i select a group, activate the bend tool, now while im dragging the purple line to indicate the extent of the bended area, it would be nice if this line snapped to axis and i could enter a distance for this line as to match the geometry to an existing curve, given that i know the length of the curve i am matching the geometry to

                                      i've already used bend and twist for a real project.. (and i mean bend and twist were the main tools used.. other than that, i only used rectangle and push/pull to create the basic slabs)

                                      it's a proposal for a skateboard-able sculpture and i'm hoping to build a few of these types of things in NYC.

                                      this new set of tools makes exploring shapes such as these very fast and intuitive and i can modify/develop the idea without the computer getting in the way.. thanks again fredo!

                                          I dont know if its difficult to add more features to this plugin. But a good option for the bend will be to press CTRL and the plugin bend symmetrically around the center.

                                          Now is possible this:

                                          Bend.gif

                                          and this is the idea:

                                          Symmetric Bend.gif

                                          Daniel S

                                            Interesting idea. I think this is feasible, and I'll try to include it in a next version.
