Thanks man-it is really inportant emproovement for SU. Google is too poor to do it
BUT! it does not work for my favorit 3D soft- AtLast Sketch Up 5 Why?

I think it should. But I dont have SU5. Can you open the ruby console try it and see if it prints any errors?

Thank you for reply! This is console message:
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method add_observer' for #<Sketchup::ConstructionPoint:0x6cab320>> C:\Program Files\@Last Software\SketchUp 5\Plugins/SketchyFFD.rb:377:in createControlLattice'

To my knowledge WebDialogs and observers are not working with SU5

Hi..
I am trying this ruby but doesnt work. I create a simple circle and pull it to give it a height. i then select everything and create group. I then select group and right click and it lets me do 3x3 etc point cloud. When i go into points group and move some points and close group and then right click on geometry group then i dont see update FFD tool. Can someone please help?
I am using sketchup 6 pro

thansk in anticipation.

The ruby works as advertised. I think you need to revisit your steps and have a careful look at how to use the ruby again. Make sure it has subdivided geometry to work with though.

My deformations are not auto updating themselves. Would anyone happen to know why?

remus

It might just be taking a while to work out whats meant to be happeneing or SU might be taking a while to display the deformed geometry.

Hi,

I have downloaded your program sketchy FFD and have put it in the plugins folder. I see it in sketchup when i right click but when i apply it to a group i do not see the update ffd option. can u please tell me wot I'm doing wrong? thanks

remus

If youve got the latest version you shouldnt need the update option, it should do it automatically.

Not always. as a matter of fact I would vote to get the 'update' button re-instated, just for the cases the auto-update doesn't work.

CPhillips

Yeah, the update menu option was removed when I figured out how to auto update. Ill remove it from the post.

I can put it back. But I would rather fix the bug that keeps auto updating from working. Can you send me a model that the FFD doesn't auto update I might be able to figure it out.

Hi CPhillips, it appears that your very great plugin doesn't work within google sketchup 7.
Any idea ?

Thanks in advance

cheers

CPhillips

I'll post an updated version tonight.

Nice one Chris. Will the updated version be any different than previous and will it work with SU6?

REGIS

Thanks a lot CPhilips, I really enjoy your plugin.

cheers

CPhillips

I just tried it out under SU7 (free version) and it seems to work ok. How is it failing for you?

Chris

REGIS

Hi the FFD menu doesn't appear in contextual menu.

cheers

CPhillips

Are you sure you installed it in the right place. Should be in the plugins folder.

Can anyone else confirm it does or doesn't work with SU7?

johnsenior1973

FFD isn't appearing for me in SU7.

It's probably my fault for trying to copy the plugins straight from 6 to 7 though.
