        It's not a telepathic tool - just erase lines and faces that YOU don't want!

          using this plugin when i push pull a curved surface i have to manually delete the original surface that was push pulled. is there any way that this plugin jointpushpulls just like a normal push. and not like a ctrl+pull that makes a new face? For example i just want this yellow extrusion to be a part of the whole solid.

          yes it works like a Ctrl+pull.
          Actually, doing like the native push pull is much more complex for:

          • creating holes
          • merging the surfaces after push pull
            Note however that in most cases, JPP is used for complex surfaces where the standrad push pull would not be effective. So the continuity of surface won't really happen.

          I suggest you simply erase the unwanted lines.

            In the case shown above is it possible that the pulling is like a normal pull? My shape isn't complex enough :lol:

              If I understood well can't you just use the "vector pushpull"? Anyway here you have the behaviour of the three tools.

                        I keep getting an error when trying to extrude a few curved letters...

                        "General Error: cannot complete the transformation"

                        Can someone give it try it a try and see if maybe it is something on my end?

                        Steps to reproduce:

                        1. Open groud
                        2. Select All.
                          3.Click on JPP (J)
                          [ Erase Original, border on all, make group, 30 deg]
                          4.Click on edge, pull, type 2", Enter

                        Error.

                            Interesting. I could do one letter at a time at the current size. I selected about half of them and tried it and got a Bug Splat. ๐Ÿ˜ž

                            I tried doing limited groups of letters. The center row went fine as did the first two thirds of the top row. When I tried to do the last batch of letters in the top row, Splat!

                                At original size it Bugsplats big time! [probably a 'tiny facets issue' on the small curved edges in the R - but why not the P or & ?]
                                But Scale x100 and then JPP 200" [on the whole thing at once], then Scale back down x0.01m to get this good/swift outcome Capture.PNG

                                  Never thought it make a difference... is because SU doesn't like expressions with number like 0.00000000000000000000000000000000002003 ? ๐Ÿ˜’

                                      My apologies if this was answered before, but is it possible to use this plugin to uniformly add thickness to a cylinder-like object? I created it by pulling a circle (and then scaling it at several points) and now would like to add some thickness to the currently hollow object, as it is going to be 3D printed. I am, in essence, trying to pull all the outside surfaces at a perpendicular angles.

                                      Many thanks!

                                        Yes. Use the Joint Push/Pull (not the Vector). Select the surface of the cylinder and using the JPP tool, click on any face in the selection. It will outline in red. Pull it up as thick as you want, or more accurately, pull up a short distance and type the thickness to the Measurements box. Press <Enter> to get a preview, then <enter> again to complete the thickening.

                                        Depending on the defaults you have for JPP, it may or may not form a group of the thickened section.
                                        You can explode the group if you want.

                                          I just got that "transformation" error as well. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
                                          While the attached SKP is documented, here's what happened.

                                          There are 2 errors depicted in the attached model.

                                          1 - I tried to thicken (using JPP preset at 90 deg) the housing by .1 inch. Error.
                                          I read this thread and scaled up 10X, same result.
                                          If I do the hub and flanges separately, it works, but there is a mess to clean up.

                                          2 - When I thicken any pair (or more) faces that are at an angle to each other, and any face has a hole in it, the hole thickens at some median angle, not perpendicular to its face. The circle on the thickened face is also distorted into an oval/ellipse.

                                          There is one other transformation error I've noticed as well, but seems to happen in specific repeatable cases where the transformation logic is simply stumped for a good solution.
                                          Ya kant code for every case.... bin-der dundat. ๐Ÿ˜† (Well respected Indian explorer)
                                          I'll post a separate model of that problem if wanted.

                                          So now in those cases I know where to look and do a quick and simple fix.
                                          Believe me, JPP is a Golden Ruby I cannot live without.

                                          Apologies... First post I forgot the SKP file. ๐Ÿ˜ณ


                                          As above.

                                            @helios: Not to disparage such a fine tool as Joint Push/Pull, but a possible alternative is Pipe Along Path. Slightly different methodology, but similar result.

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