      This is so cool!
      I'm not gonna get any work done now playing with this πŸ˜„

      How do you add Tripatch to Qaudpatch ? Possible ?

        Some really nice editing capabilities there, with the Gizmo and all. WOW! 😲

        So you decided to release it non commersial, huh ?

        For some time now I have been working on curves and surfaces for my node editor, maybe
        I can try making it compatible with you patches as well, now that your code is in public...
        That would be cool to use your tools after baking down geometry..

        Do you use Knotvectors for the patches ? Or are they interval-based type powerbasis functions ?
        Edit: Ah right, they are not spline-based, (duh). So you go through the C-extensioncode right ?

          Select the edges you want to add to then click add patch and it will follow the shape.

            Yes I noticed that. But Tripatch ?
            edit: ah, it may not be included yet. There are some things not added in this version.
            Doesent matter. Bloody marvelous anyway πŸ‘

              Sorry About that Jolran, I misread your question, didn't realise it was specifically the tris you were after.

              In case anyone is wondering how useful and fast this is to work with.
              This rough test torso is less than five minutes work.

                    it looks super nice thank you but it doesn't work for me (sketchup 8 on win7).. 😒
                    i suppose i installed it properly and also updated ttlib to last version..
                    i suspect it may depends on some conflict with tons of other plugins.. πŸ˜’

                      Same here. I only had it working in 2014.

                      Error "defined method `force_encoding' for #String:0xb10993c"

                      This is "probably" and Ruby 1.8 error. I have the impression that many authors will stop supporting SU 8 soon.

                            Ah, yeah you are right. Then I guess he just probably forgot to set up some conditions for Su8. Well see when he get's back.
                            Meanwhile do a testspin in 2014. πŸ˜„

                            It may have be a condition set on line 26 in the loader rb
                            "file = FILE.dup.force_encoding("UTF-8")"

                            If I remember correctly Ruby 1.8 (Su8) does not have that method..

                            I'm not gonna mess with that since I don't know how he has things set up with TT_Lib so I suggest waiting for his return..

                              never thought for a second to fix the code by myself πŸ˜†
                              anyway i downloaded su15 and it works perfectly.. too bad su2015 doesn't fit my needs at the moment (mainly for the other 31454535 plugin i use)
                              this tool is great! sort of pseudo-nurb brother of vertex tools..
                              waiting for su8 news.. πŸŽ‰

                                    Like I said, better let Thomthom do it properly. Even if it looks like a simple fix, it "may" have consequences for TT_lib since removing encoding.
                                    Although, nothing "bad" should happend if you only experiment at 1 place..

                                      It's just always updating...

                                      Like the GIF8.gif

                                      Cannot Click or DoubleClick

                                      and when SU opening, nothing prompt

                                        It's simple bezier quad patches with 4x4 control points each. The bezier calculation is based on the bezier example script posted by @last many years ago, I just ported it to C for faster calculations. You can see the source in TT_Lib2.

                                          No, this was on my todo, once the quad patches was done. I removed the main toolbar button for it right before release, but forgot there was menu items and that second webdialog toolbar. I should push a new update the removes the unused controls in the dialog.
