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.

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?

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?

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.

johnsenior1973

Downloaded it again and installed it. It's working for me now.

REGIS

downloaded and installed in google sketchup 7 plugins folder.
Doesn't work

cheers

REGIS

It works fine now.

Thanks a lot.

Chris,

I can't get it to work.

I an trying to bend the centre of the netting but when i move the control points there is no 'Update FFD' option on the right-click menu.

I've posted the model so you can have a look and tell what i'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Tobobo

It's due to the hidden geometry.

Look at this one, it's different with the hidden geometry, you can easilly deform it where you want.
Just create the group and choose your FFD setting.

After some FFD
