[Plugin] SketchyFFD (Classic)
-
I made the adjusted version because the older versions were all causing issues, clashes with other scripts etc, the observer was very flaky...
My version works fine for me when tested using your settings, although I don't fully understand the 'moving the group...disappear' issue
what disappears ? If you move the group away from the guides it will deform differently...
You can only have one set of FFD guide-points at a time, so is this your issue ?
The 'second' version had the most fails so I'd expect the litany of error messages... -
I set NxN parameters and clicking ok the group disappears, it is still in the outliner but nowhere in the model.
-
I also try with only SketchyFFD.rb in plugins folder, same result.
SU 8.0.14345
-
It works fine for me with z=1 set, provided that the geometry has some 3d-ness.
If I draw a grid 10x10 as a flat 2d group it does then fail !?
Not having written the original code [I just fixed some known issues] I am unclear why...Adding a short vertical line to the grouped mesh fixes it...
I'll check though the code and see if I can trap for this... -
If I add a vertical line in the group it works.
Good to know. -
Here's my update http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=36127#p36127
The recently reported NxN issues with NaN [0.0/0.0] & Infinity [1.0/0.0] fixed, these occurred when the selected group was 2d & NxN height=1...
Also the NxN dialog now remembers the last used values that session for the NxN lattice [width, depth, height, subdivide]... -
Works great, thanks a lot TIG, have a sunny day.

Thanks! This is awesome!

Thanks Chris,Thanks Chris.

But did the old version ?
There is little difference with this update !
How are you trying to deform a sphere ?? -

Assuming you have indeed installed the .rb file into the Plugins folder and restarted SketchUp the tool runs from items in the right-click context-menu 'FFD...' if you have a suitable selection [group etc]...
Please read the tool's instructions in the first page... -
Hello I am somewhat new to sketchup and am having a bit of trouble with the "open control points group " step of the process. After the object has the control points around it I cant seem to snap to any of them, when I click the cursor just starts to create a selection box. I'm sure I'm missing something trivial, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave -
You need to open the group to move the guide-points [aka cpoints] etc.
You should be able to double lick on one of them to open the group.
Failing that, use the Outliner to find it and double-click on the named entry in the Outliner dialog, it will then open to edit.
To close an edit of a group [or component] click away from it in empty space, or use the right-click context-menu item to close it [or the equivalent Edit menu item]... -
THank you!
i love you.!

Hi all,
I struggle a bit with this plugin; after manipulating the control points and closing the group, I cannot see an "Update FFD" menu item. I believe an earlier poster had the same issue. Can anyone help? Thanks.
