Hello
I'm a little bit corrected your plugin
Now It supports polygons.He checks the creation of new edges. And converts the resulting triangles in polygon.
Strings 534-538

Cool and seems you mix some other plugins for help it!
In the past have only points was a little esoteric!
But we had only that for deform a volume with powerful! -
In the same order of idea !
TGi 3D must be make something similar!
(a free version is existing) -
**TGI 3D -**Free Version

Tgi3D SU Amorph Training Edition has the same functionality of Tgi3D SU Amorph, except that it has a limit on the number of vertices to work with. It is still fully functional and will let you experience and appreciate all the features of Tgi3D SU Amorph. Download (Win | Mac)

It's an old plugin.
So it won't be 'signed'.
If you set SketchUp's Extension Loading Policy to be 'Unrestricted', then it should load - always presuming that it's still compatible with the current SketchUp version... -
Thank you for your reply..But the problem still here..Please can you give me a similar plugin to FFD sketchy.It would be really helpfull for me.Thanks for you time

Once I create the control points, I can't seem to grab or select them. Working on a mac if it matters
They are inside a group, so edit the group and you can then select them individually, or multiply holding Shift etc, or by fence etc... -

Would appreciate any help on this because it looks like an awesome plugin.
FIgured it out.
1. double click ffd control points in outliner window
2. be sure to check unlock edges in right click ffd context windowI'll leave this here on the chance others are having the same issue

Hi, I am new to Sketchup and installing plugins and extension.
I'm unable to install the ruby Script in my Shetchup 2016. The plugin isn't loading. I have copied and dragged the file into my Plugins folder. Path - /Users/Praveen/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp/Plugins
Looking for some kinda guidance from the community on what I've done wrong

In all currently supported versions of SketchUp, you [almost] NEVER need to install files into your Plugins folder "manually".
Almost all extensions/plugins come in an RBZ archive format [e.g. all downloads from the SketchUcation PluginStore or the SketchUp EWH]
This needs to be 'installed'.Users normally leave their RBZ downloads in their Downloads folder - if you have moved any move them back there...
The installer automatically extracts the contents of an RBZ archive [actually a specially-suffixed ZIP file!] and puts the files/subfolders into the correct location[s] and then loads the tool...
In early versions of SketchUp the installer is accessed from Preferences > Extensions > Install... button.
In newer versions of SketchUp the Install... button is now found on the dialog opened from Preferences > Extension Manager...
Both of these tools require you to select the RBZ, it is then installed...
If you have installed the SketchUcation Toolset it has a menu item to also Install Archive... from RBZ [or ZIP].
Also if you have installed the SketchUcation Toolset, then the Toolbar's first button [red] launches the SketchUcation ExtensionStore³ dialog, from that dialog you can browse and AutoInstall any of the extensions/plugins listed in the SketchUcation PluginStore, all without having to first download an RBZ.
The SketchUp EWH has a similar tool to load/enable automatically its Extensions listed.

Hi,
I'm trying to use the plugin, but the part I try to modify disappears when I double click the dots.
Example, I draw a cylinder, make it a group, apply 3x3 FFD, and when I double click one of the FFD dots, the cylinder disappears.
Am I doing something wrong? Using sketchup 2017.
Thanks for reading
-
As these things are inside separate containers I suspect the disappearance is due to your SketchUp settings ?
Ensure that View > Component Edit > Hide Rest of Model... is set OFF... -
Thank you for your answer TIG.
Ok, after I set that parameter of, now I can see the cylinder.
But moving the dots with the scale tool still has no effect on the part.
I'm doing exactly what I found in that tutorial video, except I work on a simple cylinder.

I found my problem using another tutorial video from Youtube.
What wasn't explained in the video I used is that the model has to be subdivided. In the video, the object is already subdivided many times.
In my case, I just had to select N x N FFD, add my grid size and select subdivide! -
Hi!
FFD generally works fine with me but in certain cases I get strange results of transformation. Could someone, please, take a look at my model and tell me if there's something wrong with my geometry. It's just a mesh, nothing special.
I moved a vertical row of 3 control points (selected yellow and yellow arrow on screenshot) but geometry went to the opposite side (white arrow).
