      Here's an example of terrain mesh I made with VT and QFT.
      mesh example

      Here's the default align to world axis gizmo behaviour.
      by default align to word axis gizmo

      Here's how I would like the gizmo to behave.
      what it could be when 2 vertices are selected (red axis aligned to the 2 vertices and the green axis along an adjacent plane

      And for the last question, yes, sometimes in the move mode, some vertices end selected after moving.
      It happens when I select a vertice (after the white circle to be visible), move it and then move it again but this time without the white circle to be visible. the vertice remains red (selected) and I need to go to the select mode to deselect all to get rid of the selection. The simplest way to resolve the issue could be to be able to deselect all vertices by clicking in the empty space just like all tools in Sketchup.

        Thank you for posting these follow ups. Visuals like that helps me greatly to put it into context.

            That's mighty kind of you to say. πŸ˜„

            I've logged both the feature request for the gizmo alignment and the quick-select issue.

              Hello, I've just bought Vertex Tools. Everything seems to work fine, i'm on Sketchup PRO 2018 on Mac OSX, except one point :

              I'm unable to precisely control the distance or proportion using the vertex Gizmo. I can't access to the VCB to control that. (actually I just can control the soft selection radius).

              How can I do ? Thanks

                So far I don't think you can do it that way.
                With Select Mode and the gizmo you can move freely some vertices but it can be precise if you use Sketchup's own length snapping (1mm, 1cm, 1m and so on; just choose a value that is pertinent in your model).
                With Move mode, choose a vertex, a direction (vector),and type the desired length in the VCB.

                  There appear to have been a regression in V1.2. I have it logged. But no fix as of yet.

                    Thomas, you mean it was possible earlier?

                      You know what, I'm a little unsure to be honest. I might be confusing it with the non-gizmo Move tool...

                        I'm fairly certain it was a feature a while back, but was then lost in an update.

                        I've mentioned it before and seem to recall you saying that it was on your to-do list for Version 2, but I could be wrong.

                          Yea - that sounds familiar. The work on SUbD made me forget some of the details of existing Vertex Tools issues. Seeing how VT2 is taking longer to complete, I may have to do a bug patch to v1.2.

                            As i said earlier i would prefer a simple edge constraint toggle like in max instead of having to align the gizmo first every time i want to move a vertex along an edge...

                              Hi @thomthom

                              This is a genius plugin!

                              Purchased a couple of days ago and I love it.

                              Only thing is, I second the comment about being able to type in a distance when moving a selection with the Gizmo.

                              Brilliant work though. Thankyou.

                              Kind regards

                              Mike

                                    Great!
                                    To be sure:

                                    1. select vertices
                                    2. use VT's select mode (gizmo) and begin moving the vertices along red, green or blue axis.
                                    3. WHILE keeping left mouse button down, type desired value in VCB. type enter.
                                    4. the vertices gets moved along axis
                                    5. RELEASE left mouse button.

                                    Once you release the LMB, VCB awaits for soft select radius value, so it doesn't work like the move tool of Sketchup, where you can change your mind afterwards and tweak the move value.

                                    Is it correct?

                                    PS I realized that this behaviour works also for scale and rotate. Type value in VCB while keeping LMB pressed down. Once you press enter, the vertices gets modified according to the value.
                                    It's just tricky for cases where I need to press Shift with my left hand while keeping the LMB pressed down. I noticed that you can release Shift after you began the scale movement and type a value in the VCB but you can't move the mouse otherwise the Shift indication gets lost.

                                      With 1.2.11 you should be able to adjust after releasing LMB.

                                        Thanks Thomas.
                                        It works indeed as you said.
                                        However I think I have a problem with the latest VT as it hangs SU at launch.
                                        And second, when I try to Ctrl+move an edge AND type a value in the VCB afterwards, it bugs.

                                            SU freeze? Permanently? I see no reason for any change in startup. Minimal code was touched...

                                            Is this a new bug?
