        ... for Dummies like me πŸ˜‰ - do I have to uninstall the previous vertex tools somehow before or does the new version overwrite the old one?

          I want to find a 3D printing service that can make this in ceramic for me!

          Version 2 can be installed side by side with version 1. (But v2 got everything v1 got - so I don't see the need.)

                  tessellated variant will look more interesting. it'd be neat to print before\after subd set.

                      Love this - a fantastic update..

                      Loving the vertex slide. question - Can we copy the vertexes along the edge?
                      the cursor changes, adds plus and minus with the addition of shift. I assume there isn't a copy function? (yet?)

                      Fantastic Extension - Professional in every way - I feel spoilt.

                      Cheers
                      Chris

                        That's interesting. I'll have to think a little on how that would technically work. But I logged it for consideration. πŸ‘

                          when i choose the select tools from the menu, I only get the rectangle selection.

                          works fine from the panel though

                          (fantastic update btw)

                            Menu or toolbar? Exactly what item do you select? Can you do a screenshot for me?

                                  this has probably been asked before - can I move the gizmo and have it snap to a point? in 10 years of questions I think this has been asked.... 'negative' will be the answer.

                                  maybe i need to ask why cant it?

                                  cheers

                                    Not so.

                                    Right click on the gizmo, choose the option and hold Shift while clicking to place it.

                                      Because it's not been entirely clear what to snap to. The user grabs hold of the gizmo which is offset from the gizmo origin, so is snapping supposed to snap the origin to the point snapped? Or the point grabbed?

                                      There's been some conversations about this - this thread for instance: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=66039#p606094

                                      Snapping is described to relate relative to the gizmo origin, and with improved control of setting the origin.

                                      If you have your own idea of how snapping should work with the Gizmo I'm happy to hear it. I'm not sure everyone has the same expectations on how this would work.

                                      Because of that the separate Move/Rotate/Scale tools has been the main means of precision adjustments. While the gizmo is more eyeballing it.

                                      I'd be curious to hear why you prefer the Gizmo to snap as oppose to using the separate Move/Rotate/Scale tools. (Maybe there's some improvements with them that you achieve the same thing?)

                                        Oh wait, did I read that correctly?

                                        Did you talk about snapping while positioning the Gizmo? Or snapping while using the Gizmo Move?

                                          Is it possible to add option, i.e. hold CTRL, when using vertex slide to copy moved vertices and this way I can add loops without exiting Vertex tools?
                                          And one more wild one, plus if I hold Shift I get that copy to be parallel to ones I have made copy off.

                                            It's already on the list for consideration.

                                            Would this be different than switching Vertex Slide to Slide by Offset instead of Slide by Percent?
