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

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

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

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

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 ^^^)

fredo6

@rv1974

Can you have a look at JPP v4.4c.

It selects the offset faces of preselected faces (if any) at exit. This assumes indeed that you perform only one Push Pull operation and then exit.

Tested right now. Works perfectly, many many thanks! I'll post tomorrow some micro explanation how distribute materials in conjunction with JPP.

Or take v4.4d...

I made it work even if you perform several push pull operations within the same JPP session.

NEW RELEASE: JointPushPull Interactive v4.4d - 20 Feb 19

JointPushPull Interactive 4.4d select the offset faces of pre-selected faces at exit. See post just above.

JointPushPull 4.4b requires LibFredo6 8.7m or above

See plugin home page of JointPushPull for Download of JointPushPull.

Fredo, when FollowPushPull is used on chamfer face, is there way to get somehow an exact 'chamfer 0' state?

Massively useful plugins as always Fredo. Had the following error found when attempting round pushpull. Here's the log dump.

Thanks in advance!

You don't seem to have the latest version of JPP (it should be v4.4d).

Could you update it and advise. Thanks.

Fredo

SpookyChick1013

What? Wooops! You're right. I try to keep things updated, but somehow that one slipped past me.

I'll let you know once I've had a chance to test things. Thanks Fredo!

Update"Installed teh new version, made sure everything was updated, no conflicting versions, and presto, the same error.

It happens whether I use the VCB or not. What I'm trying to do is Round PushPull the faces highlighted in the enclosed sreeen snip

If you need the model, let me know where to send it and I will do so.

J'ai de gros problèmes avec ce plugin (mode vecteur) sous SketchUp Pro 2019 (Mac 10.14). Problème connu ?
Merci
