Hi to all. Having a problem when I make an FFD Patch.

Here's the message:

Hi guys, thanks for making this plugin!! I'm new to SKP plugins but experienced enough with sketchup.

I have had a quick play with this tool, first on a cube it appeared to do nothing, then on a dome and it worked.

Could people explain, where and when this tool would best be used? I'm currently think for floors, but then we already have sandbox.

Thanks for your advice.

excellent plugin! this combined with soapskinbubble and the sandbox make life in sketchup so much easier

You need a subdivided mesh man.

[Rich O Brien]

Not neccessarily. On undivided meshes it works like the standard move tool shifting vertices. Or if you divide an edge it'll also work.

It's a cool plugin but I understand what you mean. It works best on subdivision.

Thank you

Here is an updated version http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=36127#p36127
Some issues with it not being in a module, use of $ variables and a flaky observer have been fixed [I hope]...

Hi,

I'd like to know if anyone has information about the algorithm used in this plugin.

Cheers.

Get it and read it - it's a .rb file...

Thanks, I tried that, but since I don't speak ruby, it's been very hard to understand what the plugin is doing. That's why I asked for info about the algorithm used in the plugin. I don't necessarily need a piece of code, a brief explanation would be enough.
