      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.

                  cheers

                    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 😄

                                  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. 👍

                                      Works nice! But "transformations reset" needs sometimes before FFD starts.

                                          this looks like a wonderful ruby!!!

                                          too bad it's not working for me, it doesn't do anything, and when I try undoing it beaks my geometry apart!

                                          would have loved to use it 😞

                                            Its not over yet. If its not working, then its installed wrong or your using it wrong. Or you have version 4 of SU 😄

                                            Could you provide a better description of what its doing wrong? Perhaps screenshots, maybe a video. Just give us some more detail and we'll get it working for you.
