        it would be like the smoove tool works when nothing is preselected. ๐Ÿ˜‰
        also a weld tool would be nice too with distance setting like in MAX. ๐Ÿ’š

          Yup! Already on my list.

          ... I should probably make a list of the features I am planning...

          Other features are:
          Jitter - randomly offset the vertices
          Gizmos - Move,Rotate and Scale gizmos for better control

          And some other stuff ๐Ÿ˜‰

            love the jitter idea. i already use the jitter ruby (modified a little ๐Ÿ˜‰ ) to add a little age or just mellow out the CG look sometimes.

                  The plane, or cylinder, etc. Hmm..... maybe I don't know how to ask my question. If still unclear, attached is a sample. Can I change its shape? What happens to the textures? Btw, thats a very slick menu.

                    Yes - here's your model after I selected a part of it, with soft selection and moved it. Looks like the wind pushes the curtains.

                    As for the UV mapping, that will unfortunately be messed up - as normally happens in SketchUp when you modify UV mapped geometry.
                    However, this is another feature I am looking into. If I can get it working I will probably also make a standalone "preserve UV mapping" plugin.

                    I hope that answered your question? ๐Ÿ˜•

                      Btw, here is your sample file after I modified it. The UV mapping didn't seem to bad.

                        Thanks, where were you when I needed it ๐Ÿ™‚ the texture was a SU floor covering that I scaled and changed the color of.

                            Woohoo! Thomas, this is a fantastic modelling tool! I feel so lucky watching this wonderful software growing in your hands. Gizmo control? how cool is THAT?

                                Thom, How difficult would it be to use portions of your algorithm to redraw a selected mesh with 50% less faces? We could use a simple plugin to do this. I have a pair of shoes I like to include in my scenes to be rendered that have more faces then the model itself. If I could select the mesh that I needed reduced, even if the change is by every other vertex, I could reduce the mesh to something manageable.

                                  are you talking about a cage or proxy mesh? or opposite of subdivision?

                                      like in SDS where you edit a high poly mesh with a low poly mesh (cage) around it.

                                      here is an example: you manipulate the outer mesh to effect the inner one.

                                            Not sure I get it, but it seems like what I suggested is a simple reversal of subdivide. May be not so simple?
