Sketchy FFD on 2016

[pilou]

Patch FFD has nothing to do with your volume!
(except the fact that you access to the Context Menu!

It's a creation of a Grid Surface at the origine!

So FFD is working very fine inside 2016!

[pilou]

And works fine also inside 2017!

A cool trick is using native Structure palette for Select the FFD box!
and Right Click / Modify FFD Group! (always over the Structure Palette)

Just double click…

Just Double Click

Yes for paradisiacal scene! Like one volume like above!
...but when you a bunch of objects overlaping on the scene, it's a mess to find the right one!

J'ai déjà vécu ce cauchemar!
Chat échaudé craint l'eau froide!

PS even for the example above when you make a "double click" you don't know visually
if you have enlighted the volume or the FFD volume!
You must Double click on a Point but not so evident!
It's so easy on the structure Palett!
And you make a Double Click less!

I mean in Structure…

[pilou]

OK ...so we are agree Structure is very practical!
One time for call FFD
One time for edit it!

Do you have Guides set to be visible ? [View menu]
If not, then you'll see nothing to edit.

To edit the points edit the group of FFD guides, as @Pilou showed you earlier, you can easily select it and edit it from the Outliner list...

[pilou]

Sorry Structure in French = Outliner !

PS For see all the FFD Menu you must have selected a Group!
(and not a Group of Groups : in this case you will see Menu but not effective on all groups)
So explode all and make an unic Group!
Don't work with a Component!

I am using a lot of plugin.
I downloaded this plugin and installed it. But I couldn't see it to use??
is this plugin only for PRO version?
I am using Sketchup 2016 Make

[TIG]

It works in all versions.
Its menu items show up in the right-click context-menu, but only IF a suitable group is selected...

[pilou]

Use the Outliner for an easy selection of FFD groups created!
