        Thanks for starting this, solo, and thanks for the great suggestions so far from everyone.

        I use Artisan all the time for terrain modeling and I can definitely appreciate some of these requests.

          Dear Mr MASTER WHAAT,
          a little question.
          There is an option for smoothed edges or not for the subsurf in the settings.
          We only have the choice between all smoothed or none smoothed, it would be fantastic to have the choice of the "angle between normals" like in the soften edges native SU dialog!

          Hi baldaman,

          The problem with this is that it is VERY slow to do this using Ruby. It is much faster to just use the SketchUp soften edges dialog after you are finished modeling (even though it's an extra step)

            When you see Chinese people in a Chinese restaurant in Dallas you know the food is authentic and good, same goes for Artisan, when Dale is using his own app it must be good.

              Solo,

              If you saw two Americans somewhere in Europe eating a hamburger and fries in a McDonalds, what does that tell you?

                  Thank you for your answer Whaat,
                  we could think about a code which could soften egdes of selection of faces or a group with a predetermined value.
                  With a shortcut it would be fast to resoften edges at the desired angle value each time the subsurf is updated...

                    Tesselation!

                    I love to sculp with some sort of tesselation, nothing extreme as SU might buckle,but if possible to divide X2 when selected.

                      Perhaps some type of Patch and Subdivide Hole process for a closed loop of edges which would create a compatible mesh to blend in with the slope of bordering surfaces.

                      This would be helpful for the surfacing of a top-most contour line or small areas the need to be "re-meshed".

                        Repair holes, I dunno if it's even possible but imagine if there was a way to fix those tiny holes that sometimes appears after subdivision.

                          There's been some discussion about this with thomthom under the 'SolidInspector' posts... it MUST be possible - although it is NOT easy! πŸ˜’

                            will ever artisan support quad faces?
                            or at least preserve it in case the proxy was properly created with thomthom quadface/vertex tools or fredo curviloft or tig extrusion tools or any other tools wich eventually generates quads? ❓

                            it would be very useful for cleaner topology, faster selections, better texture mapping etc. πŸ‘

                              My wish would be to be able to choose the shape of the brush. For the moment, or I missed something, the Brush is only a circle, I would love to see elispe, squarre or custom shapes used as brush pattern !!

                                hmm.... an idea form ... what about being able to define a shape by selected face?

                                    For the tool that flattens a selection to a plane, have the ability to input a Z-value or click on a surface once, and use the Z-value of that point to serve as the height of the plane.
