Dear Mario,

Do you really draw this rose with S&S ? If so, would you be kind enough to share the process?

:-)simon

Yes I did.
It is not very hard actually.
1- Draw a petal, (I did only one) with S&S. Start with a simple shape. The crease tool is usefull at certain points and edges. Once satisfied, leave S&S and fine tune the resulting component (subsurf) by editing some vertex, if needed. Image 1.png
2- Once you like it, copy the component around and use Flip along Axes and Scale to vary the look.
3- The stem was shaped with FDD, after S&S.
4- Same for the leaves, S&S then FDD. I did two basic components, copied and modified. (They are more like tulip leaves though)
The thorns kind of happened by accident while doing some FDD.
That's part of the fun. Et voilà.

A tulip of course. A Beautiful tulip with thorns. Thx dear Mario for sharing this nice exemple. i'm going to exercise myself with it tomorrow!! ;-)simon

Hi

I often use the knife tool - but it crashes SU 7 very often. Is this a known issue ?

Thanks

Yes, i think the knife tool is known to be quite buggy.

You might want to try out whaats zorro2 script instead, does the same thing but has a number of improvements.

Hello,

I found this forum after experiencing a problem with the Subdivide & Smooth ruby.

The icons will not display in the toolbar. The toolbar is there but it only shows blank squares. If I hover over the blank squares, I get the proper description and the script preforms properly.

Attached is a screenshot of my plugin folder. (Mac OS X 10.5.6 - Sketchup Pro 7.0.8656)

Thank you,
Grant

(I should add that it works fine on my laptop - Mac OS X 10.4.11 - Sketchup Pro 6.4.120)
