      Faces and edges should always be created on and remain on Layer 0. See Controlling Visibility with Layers.

        Hi!

        I have an idea for a small feature upgrade.
        Actually, two ideas ^^

        1. Possibility to apply positive + negative offset in one go, so you can thicken a surface on both sides immediately

        2. Extrude faces to point, like in Rhino. It would be almost analogic operation to scaling about a point which can be performed via ThomThom's Rotate and Scale. However, you'd then have to manually connect border edges of source and result meshes. Rhino has a tool which does everything in one step. I attach an illustration for it.

        What do you think about it?

          This is doable, though not trivial, because I have two generate two faces for each original face. It would also require an additional option, maybe triggered by a modifier; the only left is ALT (on Windows)

          This would be a new tool actually. I need to think about it, but a priori an interesting idea.

            Could you please increase extreme angle values for Molding in the next release? Now it's +- 60, which is a serious limitation in some cases. I'd suggest 89 or even 90 - this would practically create a flat offset (nice!). Certainly, faces would overlap but that could be fixed manually.

              If the angle is too large, then you are almost sure to get overlaps and mess up the extrusion.

              Here is what I get with the set of letters, each one of width roughly 0.5 m. I had to reduce the offset of extrusion to 0.001 m (that is, 1mm) to get a molding at 85 deg. without overlap.

              JPP Molding at 85 deg.png

              With an offset of 1cm, the extrusion gets seriously messy

              JPP Molding at 85 deg - mess.png

              I can increase it to 89 degrees. At 90, you reach math limit, since there is NO extrusion, and JPP does not like it. So, I'll probably pick 85 degrees, to make it a multiple of the 5 deg increment in a next release.

                        I'm not having much luck resolving this. I've tried scaling up and inspecting the surface to see if there's anything obviously wrong. It allows Normal Push Pull, but Vector, Joint etc. all fail.

                        Any ideas as to what might be wrong?

                        It's a fairly complex surface - a piece of terrain that is a hill with sections cut out of it (I draped a road onto the surface so that counts as a separate surface, for example). The surface I want to extrude is vegetation and I need it locked to the z-axis otherwise the software I intend to import it into won't work properly.

                        Many thanks

                          If you post or PM me the model, I can have a look and advise.

                            Hi Fredo, I can confirm the updated version of LibFredo has solved my issues. Many thanks, and keep up the good work.

                              Have a problem with one installation of this set of tools on Pro 2019. We have the latest Fredo6Lib. We have installed the latest JointPushPull plugin. The tools appear in the toolbar. But when you select the surface and then the tool, the tool doesn't become active. You remain with the mouse pointer and it doesn't change to the selected JointPushPull tool.

                              Any idea why this would be happening?

                              We installed the same setup on another computer and everything is fine. Thoughts?

                                  Hi Fredo is this possible to have an offset of faces with the same material?

                                  I need this for a game.

                                  The windows in the night will be the only face that has an offset. this face will save as a separate file (night mesh).

                                  big thank you

                                          Make sure have the current version installed along with the current version of LibFredo6 and make sure you installed SketchUp correctly. That is, you right clicked on the installer and selected Run as administrator from the context menu.
