With the Sculpt tools by BTM
Just use the Sandbox from Scratch for make a grid with many polygons/triangle
then sculpt it as you want with the different tools of the plug!

About the Smooth and divide you have this free one at Smustard some rustic but sufficient

Hi Pilou!
Thanks a lot really. I have installed smooth and divide. In the tools , I can alos find Catmull-clark subdivision.
However nothing happened what ever I do. I designed a T shape, , select it and click on catmull but nothing moves ! Is there any place to give parameters or something ?!!
ABout Sculptool, yes I could imagine it was necessary to use sand box. After I have done that, I select a tool, click on the hand but nothing happens either where I go with the circle. I have changed parameters but no changes! The only thing I can get is when clicking on the angle and pulling, I get then a pick that follows the circle but can never get the shape of the tool I select..
Pls Help!!!!!!!
Kind regards

catmull is a kind of subdivision for a solid shape, so it won't work on a 't' shape.

As for sculpt tools, the hand is the grab tool, the other tools are bulge/carve, push/pinch, smooth, and smudge. The hand is a tool by itself, with which you grab and drag geometry. The dialog tool contains settings, which are shared by all the tools.

Hi !
Thanks a lot for explanations.
However, I made lots of trials but nothing happens! The only thing I get on the screen is the blue circle but no tools no work at all. There must be something I did not quite understnad, but what ?!!!!!!

can you open the ruby console before using the tools, to see if there are any error messages when you try using them?

mirami

Right you are.
I got many error messages :Error: #<NameError: uninitialized constant GrabSculpt::E>
C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp and also C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/btm_Sculpt_Tools/btm_Sculpt6_Grab.rb:242:in onLButtonUp' C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/btm_Sculpt_Tools/btm_Sculpt6_Grab.rb:236:in each'

C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/btm_Sculpt_Tools/btm_Sculpt6_Grab.rb:195
And many others ...
What do I have to do ??!
Thanks a lot

That message seems to say that the constant E doesn't exist . Open your ruby console, and type E into the input line, and click return/ enter. It should return 2.71828182845905 in the ruby console. If not, then I have no idea why. In ruby, the constant E should be Euler's Number. This constant is used in my code for the S-Curve brush-type.

mirami

Well it returns : Error: #<NameError: (eval):151: uninitialized constant E>
(eval):151

I hope someone cna help as I have no idea myself what I should do !!
At least we figured out the problem, how to solve it now??!!!....
