      Hi, I think feature to get softselection within preselected choice of objects will be most important thing of all other vertex tool features. I wrote about it many times ago. https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=70985

      Yes - in fact, it's already added to the upcoming v2.

      Also coming in v2. ๐Ÿ˜„

      Thanks for the great news ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘

      Can elaborate on this? Screenshots? Example model?

      This is how Vertex Tools selects vertices if I type 30 for soft selection:

      https://i.ibb.co/p2mLKcC/image.png

      But I only want the bottom quads selected. So, firstly I have to group those quads and then modify the vertices:

      https://i.ibb.co/wBWq7H4/image.png

      But this method has some deficiencies:
      first, we will have separated quads by modifying vertices.
      second, to join them again, we need to move those vertices which both takes much time and may not be accurate
      third, we need to explode the group to join the parts again.
      But if there were an option just like grouping which let you choose which vertices to affect the soft selection, then we could eliminate those steps

        Hi Thom!

        One thing that annoys me is the fact that I need to quit Vertextools mode to select quad loops or rings with QFT... Is it not possible to get loop/ring selections while in Vertex tool ?

        Just wondering... ๐Ÿ˜‰

            Hi,
            Here is how soft editing realized in Rhino
            http://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/6/help/en-us/index.htm#commands/softmove.htm
            If tt_vertex tool has this feature ...!!!

              1st: to extrude with scale similar to the move tool by holding the Ctrl key?

              Yes - in fact, it's already added to the upcoming v2.

              Is this in the picture what you were talking about?
              scale with CTRL?
              I just got vertex tools and was hoping this was already an option. IT is actually an extremely useful tool when modeling with quad geometry.

              When do you plan to complete v2? ๐Ÿ˜„

              Don't get me wrong, I am extremely grateful for your efforts. Sketchup without your plugins would be half the program it is.

                Greetings,

                Is there any possibility to have the toolbar kept on the screen instead of activated it each time one clicks on the empty screen?

                Thank you in advance.

                  Hi!
                  It seems that among Vertex Tools' shortcuts there's no one to call the general toolbar. There are only hotkeys for particular operations but I'd like to press V and activate the plugin toolbar. It would be cool to add such an option I think. Just a suggestion ๐Ÿ˜„

                    I have been using a shortcut to activate the toolbar.
                    I find it annoying to have to recall it every time using a single tool.

                    I wish it could be an option to keep the toolbar permanently on the screen.

                        Shortcuts:

                        Tools/Vertex Tools/Edit Vertices

                        Here you can associate a shortcut. The Vertex Toolbar will appear.
