              Hi All
              s4u Frame and s4u Slice are just must have plugins.
              Perfect for this use and ONE click to go. πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ˜„ πŸ˜„

              Thanks Vi

                @Pilou: convert lines to curve ,It'll work correct.

                        And for my example (e.g. rectangle with diagonal)?

                            S4U Frame worked for me (though I was confused trying to figure out the settings). But with this plugin loaded, SU crashes on relaunch--on my Mac.

                              It's hard to remember all your great plugins, isn't it?

                                As a rectangle + diagonal = 2 triangles πŸ’­
                                Select all segments and same trick! πŸ˜„

                                But the result will be not so nearly almost perfect that the excellent Lattice-izer of TIG that I have used
                                in this thread of anthology (2010) πŸ˜„

                                You will find inside that some same results can be made with Windowizer by Rick Wilson, Street Generator by Thomthom, 1001bits etc...! πŸ’š

                                  Because you only select edges. In this case(rectangle + diagonal) ,first you need make face (Edges have faces).

                                    My 'Latticeizer' uses all faced-Edges in the preselected Group as the center-lines for its extrusions -
                                    including the perimeter edges, so offset the main face inwards by half the extruded width before sub-dividing and erase the outer edges to move the assumed perimeter inwards, and then the over all size will be maintained when it's a lattice...
                                    In its dialog you can choose different dimensions, materials and whether or not there are 'panes' to the lattice etc...
