Hi TIG, been waiting for this tool, Its great that there's a tool to divide the face equally. I always thought this should have been native to sketchup. Im just wondering if you can include the option for "split vertical only" or "split "horizontal only" rather than if I type 4 for example , it divides the face 4x4. (not sure though if vertical or horizontal is the correct term as the face may not be along x,y or z)

Actually what Ive been looking for is something like "connect" in 3ds max, where it split the faces when you connect the selected edges in specified number (if youre familiar with it.)

The easiest is to copy one edge to the other and say “/4” if you wanna divide by four, but this is possible only with regular perpendicular quads similar to what you have suggested here:

Anyways, There may be a tool for this already that Im not fmiliar with. Thanks.

Download and install each of the individual tools as desired...
If you don't have a tool installed then there'll be no button/menu-item.

What's up
Please explain your issue clearly...

You don't normally need to 'delete' anything.
You don't need to edit the file, unless it is that you want to add some of the extra 'ExtrusionTools' onto the toolbar and then as explained in the file itself, you remove the # in front of the line that sets up that tool - e.g. **#**eeo=true... >>> eeo=true. The full set of Extrusion tools must of course be installed separately for this to work...***

Also please don't post 'whole scripts' in code-blocks like that - it just leads to confusion.
I have curtailed your post accordingly...

***If you read what it says in the file/help... there are a bunch of links given to various tools, IF you have these tools in your Plugins folder they are added to the toolbar, if not then they are not - so you need at least one tool loading to get a toolbar...

Seems there is a glitch with the Split tools!
Manual or automatic install
There are well in the Plugins folder but nothing appear on the menu Tools of the 2014!
Don't appear on the Tools bar, on the Preference extensions

I used the French version of Su Make
All other plugs like Solid Solver are works fine on the same menu Tools

TIG

This script makes the Tools 'Split Tools' submenu entry and/or Toolbar... BUT only if you have at least one of these Plugins installed TIG-splitdonut/TIG-splitsauage/SplitUp.rb ???
You must install these individually from the PluginStore...
Works fine for me...

Here's v2.0
The three 'Split' tools are now included in this tool's RBZ. They are signed for v2016.

SketchUp Plugins | PluginStore | SketchUcation

SketchUp Plugin and Extension Store by SketchUcation provides free downloads of hundreds of SketchUp extensions and plugins

(sketchucation.com)

There is no need to install the separate Split tools.
These will no longer be available from the PluginStore individually...

hi TIG,

thank you for the split tool plugin. its very usefull.

can you uprade the tool for also splitting triangles in quadfaces?
(draw a line perpendicular from each side of the triangle to the midpoint
of the triangle = then you have a quadface triangle).

greetings
johnny

TIG

There is a tool already,,,
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Quadrilateralizer
If there's more than one connected face, then you need to do the following steps...
If you select the required face, then make it into a group, edit that group, then next run the tool on the freshly selected face - if desired you can exit the edit and explode the temporary group...

Edit: This recent extension might also be of interest...

Hello TIG, thank you. Can we divide a randomly drawn or trapezoidal surface into a number of equal areas? Thank you.
