[Plugin] QuadFaceTools

kaas · 10 Oct 2016, 12:54

I'm using
QFC 0.12.0
TTlib 2.10.6

I attached a file. The shape doesn't really matter though - sometimes it crashes on me on a simple box...

Edit 10-10-2016: just cleaned my plugin directory. Installed TT_lib2, QFT, Selectiontoys and tested again. Same crashes so I would suspect no clashing plugins.

Hmm.... I cannot reproduce on this one either. Can you do a video capture to show your steps?

Here you go - shocking isn't it? I'm thinking I'm wasting your time. There must be something wrong at my end. Although it is strange; only TTlib2, QFT, Selection toys installed (all fresh from SketchUcation tools & TTlib2 from Extension warehouse). SU-pro 16.1.1449 64 bit.

Edit + pic: it also crashes after adding a few loops and at some point it doesn't detect the loop anymore (blue line) and...ooops

Hmm... have you submitted the reports? Did you include your name/email other info?

Also, what version of Internet Explorer do you have installed? The error reporting dialog looks odd.

I have submitted only a very few (user name Max). Sometimes it caused an oops-loop and I didn't report those either.

I'm running win7 x64 on my desktop with IE11.0.9600.18449

I see the issue now. It's when you offset only one edge.

I also noticed another issue, if you pick an edge at the end of your selection the offset is missing an edge.

Both true. Glad you could reproduce the issue. I'm a bit confused nobody has noticed this before. The offset tool itself could be quite useful.

As it is now, consider the OffsetTool an alpha-version. I would not have exposed it yet had it not been for being persistently nagged to do so.

Hi All
I just nee a little help how to install the current QuadFace tools correctly, to get
access to this cool live mesh analysis feature.

I always get the error message (shown below) when I activate live mesh analysis.
I also installed the current tt Lib².
I´m trying to run Quadface tools within my SU 2015 Make which is my prefered Quad-version
with tools like SubD, Vertex tools etc...

I appreciate any help - Thanks

Ah, sorry - bad user feedback on my end. The error is due to the functionality being SU2016+ only.

Hello Thomas,

Perhaps has it been asked before, but is there a way to tweak the bydefault colors for the analysis tool? Not that I don't understand your wise choice of colors, but I'd prefer more contrasted colors like white-red...
And I agree, it's a pity one can't replace a default sketchUp view mode (like monochrome or x-ray that I don't use often) with this analyse view mode, to keep the textures/UVW mapping.

Otherwise, good job!

thomthom · 7 Dec 2016, 13:18

No color options as of yet. But it's something I wanted to add. The current version was a quick and dirty tool - turns out to be more useful than expected.

I've just discovered the UV Mapping Tool in this plugin and it's so incredible useful. Not finding it earlier is definitely a Doh Moment for me. I'm a quad fan now!

How do you import an .obj file?
It crashes every time I try ---> file, import, select .obj file "oops, an error occurred " a message displays (box) askes me if I want to send a report.
The tool bar displays ok
Any idea why?

I would like to use this plugin to texture a curtain.

3D Warehouse

3D Warehouse is a website of searchable, pre-made 3D models that works seamlessly with SketchUp.

I tried to convert the mesh but it doesn't work.

What did I wrong?

same with that one:

I really don't know how to convert the mesh, to let the texturing tool work.

anybody has got an idea?

alamin · 5 Feb 2017, 02:44

any pdf manual?

Box · 13 Feb 2017, 12:47

Thomthom, any chance of adding a selection option where you can step the ring/loop selected?
So, instead of adding or subtracting, each click moves the selection one loop over and deselects the one you are on.

Edit: I'll just add this gif to help explain what I mean,I have a workaround but it would be helpful to have.
