[Obsolete] Tools On Surface - v1.1

human

Well, then let's extend the wish list with my wishe: Rotate on surface as well
How would THAT work?
I think the idea of an 'ONSURFACE' button is looking better all the time. (I mean, we'd have an on surface toolbar, with the line, offset, circle, polygon, arc, drape, rotate and move!) onsurface button...please...

Well, if move on surface could work, this should also work! Bu that HOW, just don't ask me, please. I always wish world peace as well but how that would work, I can't imagine.

3D TEXT... ON SURFACE

I think that 3D text on surface will be easily made with the drape on surface tool.

Here Fredo explains the drape on surface and uses the example of text:

My TextTag does that but only does 2D (3D text) on surfaces - it could easily be adjusted to give other options like extrusion thickness.

This is Mucho Groovy-o. Thanks a lot.

Using this with JPP is awesome. I don't know how to draw anything yet, but I'll get there!

Very nice Fredo6!! Very nice.

The future features will be awesome to have:

[QUOTE Fredo6]:
** PolygonOnSurface (including Circle and ellipses)
* TapeOnSurface, to mimic the Tape Measure tool
* RectangleOnSurface
* DrapeOnSurface*

I'm definably all for a follow me on surface

remus

Jon, that could be...interestign. Howd you invisage it working?

I think the REAL question here is

remus

I'm really just following what ely862me said ...
To be able to select a curved face and be able to follow it through a line, rather than just a flat plane.

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

how did pul the shape 3d???

remus

Joint Push Pull

I imagine the shape was made by first drawing the egg shape, then using the tools on surface to draw the first 'break line' on the egg. The bit above te breakline would then ahve been selected and shrunk using joint push pull. rinse and repeat.
