[Plugin] SketchyFFD (Classic)
-
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.
curtain.skpcheers
Edit
After some FFD
curtainFFDv6.skp

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

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.
-
woooaaaa
amazing plugin
just what I neededthanx a lot
!!!! -
Works nice! But "transformations reset" needs sometimes before FFD starts.
-
.. thanks a million!
really useful too
-
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.

I'm running Sketchup 7 and just added your FFD tool. I can move points but there is no 'update FFD' option when I'm finished. Is FFD not compatible with Sketchup 7?
Thanks!
-
The shape should update automatically, you might have to give it a bit of time, though.
If that doesnt work delete the control points, explode the group, regroup and try again.

After waiting on a 2.4 GHz dual core XP system, nothing changed. I've just installed FFD on my computer (2.1 GHz dual core) and created a circle so I could elongate one point. Nothing. This is disappointing.
-
Have you tried it on 3d geometry? i think it can work on 2d things, but ive never gotten the hang of it.

I create a sphere, group it, right-click and do 3x3 FFD, enter the new group with Construction Points, move some to another position, exit the group, right-click the sphere group and choose Update FFD. Nothing happens.Can you open the ruby console and see if it is printing any errors?
