Very witty, Jean!

this a great tut, jean. very useful indeed.

gai, we should move jean's tuts to the tutorials section, don't you think so?

I agree, Edson!
And don't forget that both you and Jean are mods who can easily do this!

Edson

no, i do not forget that. i am just not sure how to do it.

Gaieus

Hm...

It's quite easy, Edson! See here:

gotcha.

I wrote a random pushpull script ages ago - it's still available free on Didier's site and elsewhere...

IF you make the max. and min. variation in the 'range' then it push/pulls the selected faces by the same amount in one go...

Its function with a range and allowing random or stepped amounts of push/pulling gives similar results to the 'Grebble' script that's under discussion in other threads...

Jean (Johnny) Lemire,

You have a gift for making what seems impossible easy.

Thanks!

Hi All,

You could also used the attached Ruby script.

Description:
Push pull faces along a vector given with 2 clicks, in any direction.

Instruction/Usage:
Install:Just drop it in Plugins folder.
Menu: Context

Hope that helps.

pushpull_tool.rb

thanks, brad. indeed, it allows one to push-pull in directions the straight tool will not allow. i played with it for a short while and came across some unexpected results, like being able to copy a face along one of its sides (see attached).

i wonder if anyone who has been using it for some time can tell us some practical ways to use it.

why not just use the "push/pull multiple faces" ruby for this? That's what I use
