Thank you, it works like a charm.

Thank you massimo. After no replies since I posted it 11 hours ago, I was afraid this topic was going to sink into oblivion on page 2.

Nice addition!

Thanks for another interesting tool in your toolset...

Thanks TIG, and everyone else. I don't deny that my interests are probably offbeat, if not peculiar.

Good stuff!
Looking forward to the 4D version!

Sometimes out of weird ideas comes unexpectedly good results...

Glad you like it. Actually, I am running out of ideas for geometry. I'll probably move on to tools or something else.

Really? What about some wooden pillars in the Herzog & De Meuron style? Just one click

That's interesting. They sure look like superellipsoids -- or maybe just ordinary ellipsoids.

[Jim]

If you scale a superellipsoid, does it remain one? For example a 2d sin wave can be scaled along both its axes and still remains a sin wave. Does this hold true for these 3d shapes?

Obviously, it is not true for cubes or spheres and other basic definitions.

[Regular Polygon]

Yeah, it is true for superellipsoids, and ordinary ellipsoids. The length, width, and height are basically just scale factors of a unit superellipsoid.

Great! This is very useful and fun too. Thanks a lot!

Thank you! flatland it ain't
