Alternative solution:
I see that you have Whaat´s "subdivide and smooth". Use the knife tool (a.k.a. zorro) in parallel projection. Also you can group the faces you don´t want to divide:

Where do I find this script?

Hi Toucan, the script is located in the first post of this thread. Go back to page one and look for a download link there. Have fun!

I occasionally get this happening while using TOS. What's causing it?
I wanted to draw an arc between the two points - going across the two faces.

The algorithm has many flaws, espcially on shape volumes that are closed.
I am thinking of a serious refresh to resolve these problems (and some others).

Thanks Fredo6

may I request an additional feature?

adding rounded corners to a shape?

So it some times picks the wrong distance/direction between the two points? A workaround would be to break the volume somehow?

Somehow, it works much better when the surface is open.
But I know how to fix the problem. No easy, but I need some time, as I have to revisit the whole algorithm.

Rightclick menues issue..
After having installed Fredo6 Tools on surface + FredoScale I´m having the darnest stupid problem:
Most contextual menues are greyed out, like Intersect with model, Flip along Groups Red, and so on..
I can create shortcuts to these commands and they work as expected, but I rely heavily on shortcuts in my work and list of shortcuts is getting more and more crowded. Have I done something wrong here and this is normal behavior? I have been searching the forum but so far havent found a description af this "problem".
I have most definetely missed out on something here and the fault is obviously mine (as it usually is) but I really would appreciate an input to help me solve this matter.

I have heard that this problem is related to SU itself, though it may be 'helped' by some plugins.
I got it occasionally, even not using any plugins.

Great tool bro. Nice work!!!!

A minor issue and not sure if this is Mac related.

I can only get the default icons to show.
If I go into Default Parameters and choose IMAGES_DanielS then save changes, it does nothing. I can open the default parameters again and the box is un-ticked.
I have the latest version installed.

Thanks a lot.Good plug-in

Thanks loads for this tool, your work is great!
after I use this tool I sometimes loose right click options such as; smooth, make group/component, reverse faces, etc.

I have this issue too.

Thanks loads for this tool, your work is great!

@ Dylan
Just replace the default icons with the ones you wish (in the plugins directory). Thats actually the way I did it.

I’m also having another issue. IDK if this has been discussed before or not, but after I use this tool I sometimes loose right click options such as; smooth, make group/component, reverse faces, etc.
