      To all the Sketchup gurus,

                      ... while I was still thinking about any SubD proposal this topic was solved already ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ‘ - a great place here ! ๐Ÿ˜„
                      @ Alvis - Prima! it never occurrs to me to edit polygonal lines (instead of always meshes) with Vertex Tools ๐Ÿ‘

                      never trust a skinny cook
