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.

Edit

After some FFD

Thanks REGIS

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

REGIS

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

I am trying to take a simple rectangular solid and deform it. i have to sub divide the surface? how can i go about this?

Thanks,

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

Hi..

I think there might be a problem with FFD an ASGVIS V-ray for scetchup.. FFD did not work while i had V-ray installed but now that i have uninstalled V-ray FFD works fine again.. Same problem as with subdivide and smooth script..
can anyone else confirm this ?? Btw, FFD is a brilliant script.
