      Your cursor may be inferencing on background edges or vertices.

        Hello all,

        I love FredoScale! Especially Stretch. It is amazing. However some times using stretch I have these problems:

        1. Components within the group stretch too far. Sometime this means smaller individual components will move out of their position maybe twice as far as the objects being stretched or larger components stretch way beyond the others. I think it may even happen with components whose other instances nearby did stretch correctly.

        2. The stretching is sometimes "jumpy", not updating with the mouse action and releasing the mouse it stretches a little beyond where I thought I was leaving it.

        Thanks for any help.

        Peter

          No, I think not. There wasn't anything in the background in two instances recently. Sometimes the tool seems smooth and demonstrates typical feedback.

          Thank you, Peter

            And you have no hidden layer geometry? (I don't know if this can cause anything)

            I have nothing to base this on, but could your processor be overtaxed, perhaps you have other applications in operation but minimized and you are trying to run Fredoscale?

            I know that some of the scale operations are difficult for me to select the little boxes, and depending on the complexity of the geometry the processing can take an extended period of time. But I have an old Pentium4, XPhome, NVidia MX class video card. I also have software with process hog issues. None of this may apply to your situation, just possibilities.

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

                  With FredoScale 2.1 you can orientate the selection box around a set of objects and interactively apply a number of geometric transformations, such as Scaling, Tapering, Stretching, Plane Shear, Twisting, Bending and Rotation.

                  BRAVO!!!

                          Hi,

                          First, thanks for this plugin, it's great. Most of the time i need the stretch tool, i'm trying to implement this in my worflow for stretching cabinets, windows, doors, ... but i keep getting the same bugsplat while using it.
                          even with very simple geometry.

                          I make a cube and group it (let's call it cube1). A make a copy of it (cube2) so i have the exact same cubes next to each other. I select both cube1 and cube2 and putting into a new group (cubegroup.
                          so now i have a my newly made group (cubegroup) with 2 nested groups inside (cube1 and cube2). I can use the stretch-tool on this without any problem. After stretching I duplicate my cubegroup. In my entity info window i see that there are 2 of these groups in my model. when i try to stretch my 2nd cubegroup, i get a bugsplat. see my video:
                          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxhelxITBO4

                          Now when i do exactly the same, but instead of trying to stretch my second cubegroup after duplicating it. I first edit my group by entering it, and leaving it. Now my Entity info window says there is just 1 of group of this in my model instead of 2. take a look at my second video where i don't get the bugsplat:
                          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xGhham4AxM

                          any explanation?

                          thanks

                              Su 7.1+ plus here and see the following:

                              1. Bug splat for the stretch of the 2 cubed group and can get a bug splat for stretch of just one of them. No bug splat for stretch of one stand alone, before making copy.
                              2. Outliner shows the two groups. Report back to 1 by entering edit mode and leaving confirmed ❓
                                3)Instead of making groups the cube1 and cube2 were made in nested component then no bug splat. Checking placement of stretching plane shows the tool will change the definition, say of cube2 if plane is thu it and not cube2 in other instance of cubed into differnt instances.
                                Ckecking version , may have 2.0

                                These bugsplats may be related to the fact that when you copy a group, it behaves as a component until it is edited or modified. Normally FredoScale makes them unique, but there may be problem for these type of copy-cat groups.
                                Also, having the outliner open is usually not recommended, especially with version 6 and 7.

                                      I can reproduce the bugsplat.
                                      This seems definitely related to the question of Groups behaving as components when copied and not edited yet.
                                      I think I can do something about.

                                      Just in case, FredoScale includes a commande MakeUnique (icone as a 1) which applies a make unique to groups and components recursively.

                                        Hi Fredo

                                        Thanks for this great set of tools.

                                        One suggestion- would it be possible to add a "uniform deformation" checkbox to the box dimension dialog box so that you can scale uniformly to a specific dimension? I can't seem to get uniform deformation when using "scale to targets" or while using the dimension dialog box, even when toggling the shift key.

                                        Cheers

                                        joel
