                  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

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

                      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

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

                            Bob, yes one of those... 😉

                              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)

                                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!

                                icons.png

                                Thanks Matt! 👍

                                      Does anybody know of a plugin that allows me to soften multiple grouped objects? I have a lot of 3DS models that i import that need to be smoothed and cleaned up, but I have to open each group and soften them individually, which is quite painstaking. Any Suggestions?

                                            I can't find a way to assign shortcuts for these tools. Does the needs to be updated, or it's me missing something?
