[Plugin] SketchyFFD (mind.sight.studios)

I agree that a gizmo would be very handy to have in FFD. One thing I miss from 3ds max when using sketchyFFD is the ability to select two control points and scale them as a means of moving them equal distances toward or away from each other.

Thanks the great feedback! Rather than using gizmos, I like to utilize move, rotate and scale in a more 'SketchUp' way. Some people prefer gizmos though - I suppose it might be related to which apps you used prior to discovering SketchUp.

To scale 2 points in 'Sketchup way' means fail I hope you won't copy SU behavior fully

So I tried downloading this plugin "slicer" or as after downloading it says "sketchyFFD", but for some reason it is not appearing anywhere. But shows "installed" in Extension Manager.

Its a context-menu entry so you only see it when your selection is correct and you right click.

Hey Dale,
I've got a little problem using FFD. After selecting the group and choosing one of the three FFD options, the control points do not appear. Any idea of what that might be ? Maybe just a display issue...
Thank you in advance,
Louis M.
