[Plugin] Soften/Unsoften

CadFather

is it possible to define an action (by icon or shortcut key) which unsoftens a selection in one go without having to go to smooth/soften and move the slider all the way down?

and is the reverse (one click soften)?

SOLVED - PLUGIN CREATED BY MATT

PLEASE USE THIS LINK FOR THE MOST RECENT VERSION

[file contains script and folder with icons - drop both into the plugins directory]

Soften.zip

Pixero

If I remember correct this free plugin has it: http://www.cadspan.com/tools

A script was created to do what you want, here !

CadFather

THANKS GUYS!!!

Pixero for a new interesting plugin

Matt for a genius 'back to the future plugin' - works just great even for groups and all!
(and it's much easier for quick smooth/unsmooth)

will see if i can create a toolbar to the commands..

This plugin will help someone, finally...

As always, great icons CadFather !

CadFather

Thanks Matt - and i even learned how to create toolbar items (by copying Jim's scripts)..

Dear Matthieu,

I have downloaded and installed the plugin. When I open SU I find a toolbar but no Icons. Is this an oversight?

Kind regards,
Bob

CadFather

Bob, you need both the plug in and the folder called smooze (with the icons)

watkins

Dear CadFather,

Many thanks for that. As an aside, are you Italian? I ask because I spent a very happy year at the University of Trento.

Kind regards,
Bob

Dear Matthieu and Cadfather,

I am a little confused about what to download. I have the icons showing, but nothing works. The last thing I downloaded and tried is the very last .zip file posted by Cadfather.

Regards,
Bob

Hi CadFather !
I updated the code, with another tool. It softens edges whose angle normal faces is below 20 degrees.
So now you've got three tools :

Mildly Soft edges
Completely Soft edges
Unsoft edges

You forgot a bit of code at the end...

if (not file_loaded?("Soften.rb"))

Now the tool will be loaded just one time !

and the code is also changed following the RickW notices (I hope )

Good luck for the next icon

EDIT : Version 1.1

Soften.rb

CadFather

will post a working final version from Matt very soon - need to finish a couple of things first.

Bob, yes one of those...

CadFather

Hi Matt, i have a problem with the new version: nothing happens

still works with the old one

i have updated the script with the 3 icons (changed the name for the new command icon)

CadFather

small update for whoever likes this idea:

tweaked Matt's plugin so i get 2 icons (if you ever needed) enable in view > toolbars > soften
(i removed menus in plugins)

now it is a quick step!

Thanks Matt!

watkins
