[Plugin] SketchyFFD (Classic)
-
By the way, about 10 € ( 15$) seem to be a fair sum, as far as this version is also
available for SU ( not the Pro version )...MALAISE
-
I would pay for it too. $15 seems reasonable.

Hi Tobobo
It's due to the hidden geometry.
Look at this one, it's different with the hidden geometry, you can easilly deform it where you want.
Just create the group and choose your FFD setting.

Edit
After some FFD

cheersFFD isn't working on my computer aswell, so i've read the whole topic to see for an answer. Unfortunately there are no answers yet.
I've downloaded the curtain.skp-file so I could try to FFD it with the sketchup version I am using. That worked fine! Other objects drawn in the curtain.skp-file transformed aswell by using the FFD plugin. However, copying the curtain into a new file: no result, no transformation.
I'll just try some other options and hopefully I or someone else will come up with an answer on why the FFD-plugin not always work...EDIT:
In a new file I've created an 10x10 patch to transform. The transformation is succesful with an NxN FFD with default settings (4x4x4 false) and moving all 4 guidepoints.Other tried and failed setting: 4x4x1 false, 4x4x2 false, 4x4x3 false, 4x4x5 false, 4x4x4 true, 5x5x4 false....
Seems like only the default setting work at my computer.
-
can't it be used on su5? it formed a group containing just one construction point at 0,0,0 instead of the 2x2 or 3x3 or nxn points

Hi
this script seems to be great, but actually it does'nt work with me, i can move the choosen points but nothing happens (i never have the choice "uptade FFD")
what's wrong ? if someone can help me it would be great. Thanks (sketchup 6, windows XP) -
I have the same problem! the UPDATE FFD does not apear. It seemn pretty easy to use this plugin, I really got the idea in 10 seconds. But it doesn'n work at me. Did i do something wrong? Also, no erors in the Ruby console.

That is the new group created by the FFD. You can simply delete or hide it when done with it.
THX: very simple indeed !
hello, i need a bit of help. I downloaded the ruby and copied it in the plugin directory but the ffd tool doesnt show up when i restart sketchup. Any ideas?

Hi myrto, as far as i know, FFD works on groups. So you have to group your object then right click and you will find FFD in your context menu. Add how many control points you want and use the tool.
Read the very first post of this thread for detailed explanations. -
thanks...
i'm gonna make make a try for this one.
-
it seems that doesn't work on my SU7.1 free version
anyone ealse has fronted with such problem too? -
worked for me in 7.1 pro?
BTW, i just used this script for first time for an actual purpose instead of just playing!
awsome thanks again. there was no other way i could think of to achieve the same result. i'm sure i could have tweaked and tweaked manually until i gave up. 
put its not my style. 
-
Doesn't appear to work anymore... (The May Version works fine)
-
yeah, i think i made have the older version.

Hello my name paan,
can you find or make sketchup plugin that can detect the edge of the texture and turn into that shape . It's more like make the rectangle turn into the shape of the texture that have transparent background .
sorry for my bad English and i hope you understand what i meant
and if you find it don't forgate to send an email to me at:

hi paan,
I think that is quite difficult, because SketchUp isn't ment to do such operations with textures. I am not a ruby coder though.
if you have got Adobe Illustrator there may be a workaround by importing the image, tracing it and then exporting as dwg. file. then you can import the dwg into SketchUp... haven't done it myself though.oh, and in future it might be better to open up a new thread for such enquiries. that is a completely different topic after all. having it as a separate discussion would help others too, when they are looking to solve similar problems

I am confusing...FFD works for me occasionally!!!
-
same for me. sometimes it works with 3x3 control points. sometimes it doesn't. sometimes it just needs a restart. sometimes it needs a whole new file. and sometimes it doesn't work at all, no matter what I do (custom control point numbers don't seem to work at all anymore).
so I am afraid this script needs to be rewritten for SU 7.1
what a pity
