      You can use the scale tool: begin to scale then type 400mm;400mm;400mm + enter.

      Note that the separator may be "," for you .

          This is a nice idea - I might implement such a feature in Vertex Tools.

          Of the top of my head, something like this:

          pt = Geom::Point3d.new( 3.976879, 3.970209, 1.002568 ) grid_pt = pt.to_a.map { |n| n.round() } v = pt.vector_to( grid_pt )

          You can do something like that - iterate the vertices of a mesh, for each vertex find the nearest grid position to the vertex, collect the vertex and adjustment vector to each their array and use Entities.transform_by_vectors https://developers.google.com/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/entities#transform_by_vectors

          Note that this simple example rounded to nearest whole number. Modifications is needed to account for grids fitted to decimal precision.

            Actually, that example will round to nearest inch - which is SketchUp's internal unit...

                  How about that ??

                  ... from concept to module in under a hour. 👍

                  I'm not here much anymore.

                    Could this then be a tiny step towards a poly-reducer?
                    As the vertices are 'rationalized' onto a 'grid' some faces could become coplanar and therefore the superfluous shared edges could be removed.
                    The fineness/coarseness of this 'grid' removes less/more 'detailing'... 😕

                      Cubificator?

                      I was thinking it might be usable to repair troublesome model imported from CAD drawings. Occasionally I run into models where splitting a face with an edge results in duplicate faces. I suspect its due to some precision errors. Maybe if the vertices where adjusted to fit to a finely grained 3D grid the troubles would go away... ?

                        ThomThom thanks so much for your support! I have had a go at running your test module. My understanding is that it should shift the points in the active selection to a 0.25m grid as specified in the code.

                        However I am having problems running the module. I have attempted to add it to the tools menu as below, but I am not 100% sure how to 'call' the routine. Appologies if I'm being an idiot - I am new to ruby scripting!

                        
                            module GridSnap

                                grid_pt = point.to_a.map { |n|
                                  b = ( n / tolerance ).to_i * tolerance
                                  r = n % tolerance
                                  (r > tolerance / 2) ? b + tolerance ; b
                                }
                                Geom;;Point3d.new( *grid_pt )

                        UI.menu("Tools").add_item("GridSnap") { GridSnap } if not file_loaded?("GridSnap.rb") 
                        file_loaded("GridSnap.rb")
                        
                        
                        
                        

                        I think this could be a very useful tool for cleaning many types of imported geometry.

                            In case TT is away...
                            Inside the code making the menu use
                            {GridSnap**.adjust_vertices(1.cm)**}
                            It affects the whole model.
                            This example uses 1cm grid
                            Use another 'tolerance' if desired...
                            If you use () it defaults to 0.25m anyway...
                            It's only some example code and could be better assembled into something working on a selection with warnings and an 'undo' ???

                              Not sure this reduced poly rock is so good ?Cuboidalizer.PNG'Cuboidalizer' is another name idea too... that or 'Discombobulizer' 😲

                                  Should apply to X,Y and Z... Seemed to work correctly in my quick test...

                                    It's like Autotune for cad! They can make you sound good, even if you can't sing.
                                    If you are editing digital music, and you need to make the drum beats perfect, you can move the beats to the nearest sixteenth note, or whatever. It's call "quantizing".

                                      TRUE !!

                                      Restriction to discrete values (or multiples thereof,) rather than any values in the set of possibles (real numbers, in this case.)

                                      So.. the long term:
                                      Vertex Positional Quantization

                                      The short form:
                                      Vertex to Grid

                                        Hi guys, I have had a play with Dan's Beta version and for me it works really well. The verticies are adjusted in X,Y and Z directions and the undo function works fine!

                                        The only slight problem: it adjusts all the geometry in the model, rather than just the active selection. The original module just adjusted the active selection.

                                        Any ideas?

                                        Again thanks for the support - this script should be a realy time saver!

                                        Ross

                                          Well .. I did not think I changed the context of what Thomas' code did... just tried to wrap the code properly and added the menu_command() method to handle an inputbox.

                                          I'll have a look at it.. again.

                                          (And it's not really MY edition just because I added the inputbox.. it's still Thomas' thing.)

                                          I'm not here much anymore.

                                            OK... added support for a selection. (Pssst! ... there was no selection support from the beginning Ross.)

                                            This utility should probably be wrapped in Thomas' toplevel author module, and reside below his author directory in some manner.

                                            I'll leave those choices up to him, and when he releases version 1.0.0, we'll delete these beta versions in this thread and put in a link to the release thread.
