[Plugin] SketchyFFD (Classic)
-
Hi
this script seems to be great, but actually it does'nt work with me, i can move the choosen points but nothing happens (i never have the choice "uptade FFD")
what's wrong ? if someone can help me it would be great. Thanks (sketchup 6, windows XP) -
I have the same problem! the UPDATE FFD does not apear. It seemn pretty easy to use this plugin, I really got the idea in 10 seconds. But it doesn'n work at me. Did i do something wrong? Also, no erors in the Ruby console.

That is the new group created by the FFD. You can simply delete or hide it when done with it.
THX: very simple indeed !
hello, i need a bit of help. I downloaded the ruby and copied it in the plugin directory but the ffd tool doesnt show up when i restart sketchup. Any ideas?

Hi myrto, as far as i know, FFD works on groups. So you have to group your object then right click and you will find FFD in your context menu. Add how many control points you want and use the tool.
Read the very first post of this thread for detailed explanations. -
thanks...
i'm gonna make make a try for this one.
-
it seems that doesn't work on my SU7.1 free version
anyone ealse has fronted with such problem too? -
worked for me in 7.1 pro?
BTW, i just used this script for first time for an actual purpose instead of just playing!
awsome thanks again. there was no other way i could think of to achieve the same result. i'm sure i could have tweaked and tweaked manually until i gave up. 
put its not my style.

Doesn't appear to work anymore... (The May Version works fine)
-
yeah, i think i made have the older version.

Hello my name paan,
can you find or make sketchup plugin that can detect the edge of the texture and turn into that shape . It's more like make the rectangle turn into the shape of the texture that have transparent background .
sorry for my bad English and i hope you understand what i meant
and if you find it don't forgate to send an email to me at:

hi paan,
I think that is quite difficult, because SketchUp isn't ment to do such operations with textures. I am not a ruby coder though.
if you have got Adobe Illustrator there may be a workaround by importing the image, tracing it and then exporting as dwg. file. then you can import the dwg into SketchUp... haven't done it myself though.oh, and in future it might be better to open up a new thread for such enquiries. that is a completely different topic after all. having it as a separate discussion would help others too, when they are looking to solve similar problems

I am confusing...FFD works for me occasionally!!!
-
same for me. sometimes it works with 3x3 control points. sometimes it doesn't. sometimes it just needs a restart. sometimes it needs a whole new file. and sometimes it doesn't work at all, no matter what I do (custom control point numbers don't seem to work at all anymore).
so I am afraid this script needs to be rewritten for SU 7.1
what a pity -
Sorry, I wasnt keeping up on this thread.
There is a problem with the script under 7.1 or just 7.0? Can you give me some idea how to reproduce the bug? If it starts misbehaving open up the ruby console and see if it is printing any errors.
-
now I have only 7.1, and no idea , how it works/or not!!!!
-
Here's what I get in the console on 7.1 running on XP Home...
WARNING: make_unique is a deprecated method of Sketchup:Group
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `*' for nil:NilClass> -
I registered just to say thank you for this BRILLIANT plugin!
As a side note, I have Windows Vista and SU 7. No problems at all. The plugin is working fine for me.
