      I far as I can see SurfaceGen does not use any unusual methods or interfere with base/built-in classes/methods. However, Modelfunction may well do that - there are a few scripts will ill-advisedly mess with these and thereby they affect other tools unpredictably [often messing with 'group', 'face' etc].
      As Modelfunction is a paid tool [and you must be a customer] I suggest you contact the author direct to get him to fix his code...

        I haven't posted in ages, but I just noticed that there was a way I could improve the speed of this plugin. The new version only calls "eval" once to create a proc object which it then calls repeatedly, so it shouldn't have to keep parsing the expression each time.

          I added version number and time of update to the thread title so it's easier to see the change when scanning the thread titles - also the Plugin Index works better then.

            For now, I'm just playing, but I have dreams of making some beautiful math sculptures like Bathsheba Grossmanmakes.

            Topmod above is perfect for that 😉

              Wonderful tool, Diggsey. Many thanks. Nice that folks are sharing their settings. I wish someone with the appropriate skills or not would chart up some many examples, something like the pic below, and/or list many equations to experiment with. I do not have those skills. I had modeled something like the intersecting sine waves not long ago manually... tch, tch.

                All models are made with TopMod
                I have made the first 😉
                I have made a little tut video ☀
                (sorry in French but very visual)

                Else you will find some very cool tutorials videos here 😉
                (explore the site)
                It's a very crazzy program! 😎
                By me (French UI too by me 😉 Don't make renders inside Topmod (export as OBJ Render here in ZBrush)

                      It's in the PluginStore, made into an RBZ format download.

                      It's not Thomthom's, it's Diggsey's plugin...
                      It'll probably still work in v2018 - however, because it's old and unsigned, you'll need to set the SketchUp Extension Manager's Loading Policy to "Unrestricted"...
