      BTM,

      Just my opinion here, but it might be better to have a single entry in the Extensions list that toggles the tools as a set instead of having an entry for each tool in the set. Same with your Merge tools.

      Hi

          It should work by clicking 3 times to make the face which defines the plane (an infinite face), and then when you use a sculpt tool, any vertices on that plane are 'locked' to it, and cannot move from it.

              I would like to repeat an earlier post:
              [Question-- Is the "lagline" setting in the dialog a selection of a visual cue? If it is, I have not seen it.] Meaning I could not get it to work.

              I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                It's not a visual cue. It's a feature to allow sculpting even if there's a lot of lag; when you sculpt, it will affect not only the vertices around the cursor, but also around the line between the cursor and the last cursor position:
                You can draw fast with lagline on.

                  Thanks -BTM:
                  I think I understand what you mean.
                  As for drawing fast, that would be when I get a new desktop system. My current machine has a Pentium 4 with 1.6Ghz.

                      ok, I'm starting work on sculpt tools again; a new tool I'm probably going to add in the next release is flatten. I've got it working, but It's not finished yet.

                      It flattens nearby points to the plane they best fit. If you hold shift, it will keep the previous plane, so you can create a flat surface. It has a setting which allows it to not affect points on the other side of the plane, so you can sculpt somewhat hard surfaces in the model, like in this image.
                      ( though, with sketchup, it's admittedly not very useful)
                      an 'icosphere', with flatten used in different places.

                      I'll see if I can get an inflate/ deflate tool in the next release alswell.

                              Is anybody using this in their work flow? If so how and to what success?
                              I am surprised we have not seen a bunch of examples so far.

                                I am wondering that if it is possible to have a tool for adding detail , or even reducing the details, while keeping the surface smoothness (if it is a curved surface).
                                maybe something like the picture

                                            Can anyone get planar lock to work on su 7.1? I've tried every different way I can think of and nothing ever gets locked. Tried use, use + show, dont use, turned on every different option, drawn the three point horiz to the mesh, vertical to the mesh, put the three point plane in a the mesh component, exploded it, selected the mesh then drew the three points, draw the plane in the center of the mesh, on the edge, etc etc... Every time the tools move the vertices as if I never used planar lock. Any body got any ideas?
