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

      Thanks in advance

      cheers

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

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

                  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.

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

                            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.

                                Thanks REGIS

                                I'll have to think of another way to deform the netting.

                                  Perhaps ypu can subdvide it using subdivide=true when you create your FFD control box.

                                  Cheers

                                      One possibility
                                      Draw a rectangle
                                      Pull it with Ctrl any time you want
                                      Select all (triple click)
                                      Move it one time + CTRL = Copy
                                      Type "10*" (or more) = Multiple
                                      Select all (triple click)
                                      Group it
                                      Select group Right Click / FFD
                                      Edit the goup "FFD"
                                      Move points
                                      Et voilà 😉

                                          There's a subdivide feature in the script.right click> FFD> NxN> set subdivide to true.

                                            Yes but will be any effect on the subdivide of a simple rectangle!!!
                                            Nothing will arrive when you will move a point of the FFD!

                                            Seems the only easy methode is draw a rectangle with the Sandbox 😄
