          Hi fredo...

          About the offset on surface the external offset deletes the original surface... is there a way to keep the original surface like in the previous version? In the image I put in "1" the external offset, in "2" the actual result and in "3" what i´m trying to get.

          About the icons and cursors i tried to make them.. but i can´t do the ones with Cline. The ones i can don´t look very good... but i post them here.

          Sorry for this. I fixed the bug and reloaded on the first message of this thread.

              great! this is very useful on not-curved-surfaces because you don't have to worry about intersecting with other lines!

                This tool also is much better at making .png cut-outs than the regular SU tool.

                    Have you ever tried to draw around a complex shape and the line occasionally changes axis thus not closing?, well this hugs the surface and those issues are a thing of the past.

                      Fair enough, i'll admit i havent done a lot of cutting out with .pngs, but when i did do it i didnt find the freehand tool to bad. Obviously need to do more 2d components 👍

                        Fredo, here's some icons - see if you like them...

                        i noticed that the draw line cursor is the same as the draw line icon on the toolbar.

                        this is not good because the sizes differ (toolbars are 24x24 - cursors 32x32)
                        so i created a cursor called 'ofs_draw_Dline.png' - you just need to tweak the script to fit this update and then the tip of the pencil will fall right on the line as you draw.

                        cheers

                          Wonderful! I don't even know how I could create the model below in other 3D modelers! Much appreciated 😄

                            Chip, I was attempting to do my own version of your model and came up with this:

                            Tell someone "that was made in sketchup" a year ago. 🤓

                                  THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

                                  I am constantly blown away by what you, and our other genius scripters, are doing to improve our beloved SU. I think that Gaeius said it best, now all Google has to do is improve the core engine and we are off and running.

                                  I, too, am making models that would have been laughably impossible in SU even 6 months ago.

                                  FWIW, I would have gladly paid for JPP and the Offset tools.

                                  Thanks again; it is so nice to be excited to check out the forum every morning!

                                  Cheers, Chuck

                                          I think this would deserve a tuto, as myself I am still wondering how you used the tool to create so realistic palm trees !

                                          Fredo

                                            ok dear Fredo ....it was just for fun and i know we could use other ways to reach such results ...but maybe this tut describes what i did.... good texturing and background also helped alot.. to reach such realastic palm. 😄


                                            here is the way i made the leafs
