MoveAlong question:
How difficult would it be to implement
a Multiple objects move (rotate?) by their local axes?

Should be a dedicated tool.

MoveAlong is already complex, and I did not add the move along local axes (there are inferences however), as I did in Animator.

That's not a matter of programming ; Putting too many features in a plugin defeats the purpose, as then it is judged cluttered with options that nobody really uses.

For Msphysics, I used "Convexify" to divide the object shown in the figure into convex pieces, but I did not create the division process. What would be the reason?

I tried, and it's probably too much for the algorithm.
And on a portion of it, the convexification won't give you something 'nice as expected', because the the triangulation makes most individual edges concave, with relatively large angles.

I guess you have to find another way to generate the shape directly into small bits.

Hi Mac users. A litlle survey.
Lately I'm having a small annoyance with this extension.
If I open the pane for the tools (see image) once in a session, then SU cannot quit normally. Beachball.
I removed all the other extension leaving only it and the Lib. Still bug.
Anyone else ?
update: Just did it with Curvizard.

Yes, there are cases of bugsplat, and for what whatever reason, they may occur systematically for some users. I did not find the reason and fix yet, but I am trying...

I have made some tests and found that this issue occur when Profile builder 2 and SubD is enabled, but I installed SketchUp 2017, Profile Builder 2 and SubD on another machine and Thrupaint worked fine!

Hi, I found a minor issue with Thrupaint on OS X 10.11.6 & SU2017, when you make click to enter in Visual edition, the gizmo and the options window disappear immediately but "right click ->Contextual menu->Enter in Visual edition" or "Enter" work fine, for this reason for me is a minor issue.

fredo6 · 3 Nov 2017, 18:07

I think the problem was already signaled, and it seems this happens only on MacOS.
Note that you can also type Enter to activate / deactivate the gizmo.

Difficult for me to troubleshoot as I don't have a Mac. I made a modif blindly, just in case this improves.

Fredo6_FredoTools - v3.1f - 03 Nov 17 - certified - encrypted.rbz

Could you check if you still have the problem.

Thanks

Fredo

Oxer · 3 Nov 2017, 18:39

I installed that version but the issue persists.
Fredo like I said to you before, for me it's a minor issue.

Oxer · 3 Nov 2017, 19:18

The FredoTools v3.1e works fine on OS X 10.11.6 & SU2016, the issue is with SU2017.

Even more weird.
Did you try with double-click on a textured face?

Fredo

Oxer · 3 Nov 2017, 21:32

Yes, but this doesn't resolve the issue. Don't worry Fredo, it's a little problem but it doesn't interrupt my workflow.

fredo6 · 3 Nov 2017, 21:44

Just try to understand what can be caused by

a difference between Mac and Windows
a difference between SU2016 and SU2017

To you get a stable gizmo when pressing Enter on a textured face ?

What happen if you click down, release without moving the mouse ?

Oxer · 4 Nov 2017, 00:34

Yes, If I press Enter over a textured face the gizmo is stable. When click down the gizmo appears but it disappear immediately (1 second).
