These stories tend to reignite my belief in people. With all the stuff on the news it is easy to see young folk as trouble makers etc. A bit of positive affirmation does the world good. I hope both those boys can get over the trauma and move on to better things.

@tig Thank a lot sat.

One further issue you should address before publishing this more widely - e.g. getting it 'signed' and in the EWH. Its file naming does not follow the proper conventions. An RBZ must contain just one .RB file that registers the extension and a folder of the exact same name. Also the convention is to prepend the users 'name' at the start and even a sub-level if the modules do this. So in your case there should be MendelAI_mesh_tools subfolder and a .RB file named MendelAI_mesh_tools.rb You then edit the RB to load MendelAI_mesh_tools/loader Because previous users might also now have the older badly named file/folder installer and loading you need to do some tidying up. Add some code to the start of the RB to check for the existence of mesh_tools_loader.rb and mesh_tools subfolder in the Plugins folder - use File.exist?(str) or better still similar methods in the fileutilities [which you need to 'require'] which will make deleting the subfolder and its contents much easier. So if these files exist you should also add a UI.message_box() to ask the user to restart to sync everything - next time the rogue file/folder won't be found and the code is redundant, but is still needed in any future updates in case a user has skipped this change in 1.0.2... A manual restart is preferable to a forced quit etc as the user might not have saved some work before updating etc.

I also get the "cannot hide layer that is a part of the active path" error when trying to Generate Quadmesh from terrain. This error occurs even when selecting the contours that are grouped. What fixed it for me: move the group of contours to the root context. This error seems to come up if you are working within nested groups. TopoShaper seems to only work in the master context.

Awesome as always!

AI, seemingly designed to ruin just about everything. Even Star Trek folks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4mwr7QLC7c&t=5s

@dancingskirt said in Any AI tools that actually help during early modeling stages?: AI tools or plugins that are genuinely useful during early design, not just for final images? The problem currently is the number of options out there and the speed of improvement. AI is accelerating at such a pace that last month's tool becomes obsolete. ComfyUI is still my preferred option because its local, there's a vast amount of readily available workflows out there and it is flexible. I prefer to keep my interactions with AI outside of the Big Tech bubble.

Yep, I hate this part - they are too shy to indicate it's commercial, they ALL are FrEe. Here on sketchucation they do show $ sign

OK, I think I have finally generated a multi scene animated presentation with Animator. Here are 2 videos that I hope help you see this. GIF Version [image: 1771035490689-jesus-plaque-fancy.gif] MP4 Version Jesus Plaque - Fancy.mp4 Just to let everyone know, I also posted the same videos in the Animator Plugin thread

OK, I think I finally figured some things out so here are my latest videos. I hope you enjoy them and they can be used to see how Animator can be used to generate animated presentationsl GIF version: [image: 1771034456664-jesus-plaque-fancy.gif] MP4 sersion Jesus Plaque - Fancy.mp4 I am also posting this in the Scene animation with Animator thread. The main point of that thread was to discuss how Animator can be used in multiple scenes for presentation purpose.

^ in spades, a keen eye and great mind leads to better results every time.

Would you be willing to share the file?

Thanks for this post and resolution, I'm coincidentally having this exact issue on the same tutorial! Good practice for sure. -R
