It would have been nice if there was an option of giving the thickness similar to the Autocad Exturude command! .. Yes, it is a waste of time but we can easily remove the remaining surfaces. Achievements in your studies Fredo6

"Group PushPull 2DFaces" will not need this plugin! .. thanks Fredo6

Dear Fredo,
Hello, I kindly reach you to mention a problem in the Joint Push Pull plugin.
When I model organic shape or complex surface(Almost curve form or tensile structure) Pushing of the surface is not moving well and also I have tried to copy of surface and then use Curviloft to close it but it also doesn't work properly. What should I do exactly in this Situation? Thanks in advance.

Sincerely
Hamidreza

Could you post the model with the Tensile surface, so that I can try to investigate the problem with JPP.

Also, can you use the Extrude tool in JPP (X marked) instead.

Fredo

Dear Fredo,
Thanks a lot. It works when I use the Extrude tool in JPP (X marked). Thanks in advance.

Hi Fredo, i noticed that JPP will treat group copies as instances - i think it would be great to bypass this and have it treat groups as separate. perhaps something for the next update cycle...

Definitely. This happens for freshly copied groups, that behave as components until you edit them. I need to correct this as I did in FredoCorner. Just some work!

Hi, first of all I really like this plugin and I have been using it for some time now. Somehow the face selection via surface stopped working for me. The plugin only selects by face if I set it to surface.

Weird... May be you could

open the Ruby console before launching JPP to check if there are errors
post your model, or show a short video of the problem

I opened the Ruby console and then started the plugin, but there was no text in the console, so I think there's no problem there.
I don't think that there's a problem with my model. I tried it on different models and it wasn't working either.
Maybe there is a problem with LibFredo? I updated it last week and I haven't noticed any problem before. I tried reinstalling LibFredo and JPP, but it didn't fix anything.

Here is how it looks in SketchUp, no error message, just not working as intended:

fredo6 · 18 Feb 2019, 14:47

In Sketchup, surface is defined by a set of faces whose common edges are soft (so not smooth).

Can you check in your model.

Also, what happens when you turn off "Hidden Geometry" ?

Round Push Pull with minimum number of rounding segments = 1, that would be nice (Now it's 2)

Fredo, would it be possible to add 'afterward selection department' to JPP?
Say 3 check boxes that rule which category will stay selected: initial faces, offset faces, or connecting faces.

I am not sure I understand. The selection scope option is kept across JPP sessions and even Sketchup sessions.

rv1974 · 20 Feb 2019, 11:25

Say you have state 0, then run JPP and immediately after execution (on exit) you'd have (wishful thinking) 3 states.
The goal is ability to group selection and assign diffrent material or make some geniuos manipulations (independently).

fredo6 · 20 Feb 2019, 11:40

OK. I get what you want to get.
Doable indeed, but this is another option in a GUI which some consider already 'bloated'!!

Currently, JPP keeps the selection on the faces which have been selected.

OK. Could you please change this setting it to the offsetones? It would solve all my request without UI bloating. You see, I can Cnrl+C initial faces before JPP execution, and then just paste original faces after JPP is done. This simple hack restores original selection.

The native SketchUp Push Pull does the following

if and only if a face is pre-selected before launching the PP tool...
...its offset fasce is hard-selected when you finished the push pull.
This means that if you wish to push-pull another face right after within the same Push-Pull session, you have to press Escape to deselect.

Is this behavior you want to reproduce with JPP?

rv1974 · 20 Feb 2019, 18:52

This is the way I imagine:

Preselect
Run JPP
Hit Enter to exit
Offset faces stay selected

It's very similar to the principle described in Pilou gifs here:
http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=1523&start=30
but in our case we deal with faces, not lines
P.S. By 'offset faces' I mean case #1 (see my picture above ^^^)
