Whaat,you are genius!!!

Jon

Thank you soo much!

I was thinking the other day "hmm, with whaat's subdividing tool, to turn a cube into a smoothed cube rather than a sphere, it will require some extra geometry. That's going to be a bit of a hassle". Not anymore though!
you ROCK!!

Great, thanks!
A question *(I havent tried it yet):*How "far" does the cutting go?
Meaning, in the video you dont have a object selected, so If there were two or more overlapping geometry with some distance in between, how far would it cut?

Edit: After a quick test it seem to cut "all the way" so my next question is: Whould it be possible to limit it to only cut on faces visible in the viewport or facing the camera?
I can think of many cases when I would want it to work like that.

Fine "emotional" script... Thanks!
Some wishes and remarks:
1.The script works only in "PERSPECTIVE"
2.The binding of the cursor (knife) to axis (Planes)is necessary

binding Red, Blue, Green works when you are in view Top, Front...

Funny script indeed
Whaat you see is whaat you get

It shines Whaat!
But a few things MUST be repaired\added:

Work in ortho projection, axis following (mentioned above)
Problems with snapping.

Another big thanks from me, and if it hasnt been said enough i cant wait for subdivide+smooth.

I tried Zorro on a higher poly model (the naked man I posted earlier) but Sketchup crashes .
It's not the ruby's fault (great coding whaat !) ...it's just sketchup I guess

That's what happens when you cut and paste from the example scripts! Try deleting '$exStrings.GetString' from the two offending lines of code (line 74 and 163)

Let me know if that does the trick.

I don't know zip about coding....but I like this line for some reason .

I think the best workaround for this, is to first group the geometry that you wish to cut, then use the tool. Only geometry within the active context will be cut. After you have done your cuts, you can explode the group if you wish to return to the previous condition.

I love this tool! Thanks for improving my game!

when I install this script into my desktop (Pentium 4 2,4Ghz, 512Mb RAM, Radeon 9600) , it works good.
but when I install into my laptop (Dell XPS M1710), it can not work and have bug. I've tried the simple rectangle and "zorro" it but it "booooom" and sketchup out !

help me resolve this problem ! I'm very interested in this script "zorro" but now I can not use it with my laptop.

many thanks
