      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.

                        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.

                            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

                                  Move it one time + CTRL = Copy
                                  Type "10*" (or more) = Multiple
                                  Select all (triple click)
                                  Group it

                                      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. 👍
