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.

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

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

I included a fix in LibFredo6 9.0a

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?

[Dave R]

When SketchUp 2019 was installed, did you right click on the installer and choose Run as administrator?

Feature Request in this Plugin

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

Getting a bugsplat when trying to change the random push pull values. in sketchup 2019 and 18
any solution?

You'd need to provide some useful information to be able to diagnose the problem and find a solution. Share the SKP file and the values you are trying to use.

I don't have any problems with your file in SU2019.

Click on the picture to see it move.

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.

yesterday i installed both JPP and Fredo6lib
everything is up to date

I am unable to reproduce the problem either....

Do you get it always?

Fredo

[Ahmed0007]

and latest version of JPP is working fine with SU2017

Thanks for reply

i haven't used random push pull a lot.
i found an old version of JPP (v3.6a) this also give me bugsplat screen. in su19
watch here : http://bit.ly/31SyEk5

Edit ; and latest version of JPP is working fine with SU2017

[Dave R]

You never answered my question about proper installation of SketchUp. Did you install SketchUp 2018 and 2019 correctly?
