CadFather

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)

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!

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?

Remember that this script is ~10 years old !
Because it only makes a toolbar there are no menu items to shortcut onto !
However, the native smooth/soften toolset is easily accessed via a shortcut, as that has context and menu items...
Why do you need this tool in preference to the built-in native one - the old code uses the very slow 'typename' entity checker, the native one also has more controls over what is changed... ?

jhs powerbar 3d rotate error fix

def onLButtonDown(flags, x, y, view)

nothing with this click if nothing is selected

puts 'nil' if(Sketchup.active_model.selection.length == 0)

Keep what's currently selected.

Might be temporarily selected because its hovered if there was no selection when tool was selected

@hasSelection = true

Select point when and draw when clicking

first 3 clicks select points and set jaw & pitch. 4th and 5th click are optional and sets roll

if @state == 0
# Select anchorpoint
#@pAnchor.pick view, x, y
if @pAnchor.valid?
@state = 1
@status_text = "Grab entity." # first status text defined in reset()
Sketchup::set_status_text(@status_text, SB_PROMPT)
end

elsif @state == 1
# Select startpoint 1
#@pStart1.pick view, x, y, @pAnchor
if @pStart1.valid?
@state = 2
@status_text = "Pick target to drag entity towards."
Sketchup::set_status_text(@status_text, SB_PROMPT)
end

elsif @state == 2
# Select targetpoint 1 and set yaw and pitch for selection
#@pTarget1.pick view, x, y, @pAnchor
if @pTarget1.valid?
@state = 3
@status_text = "(Optional) Grab entity again."
Sketchup::set_status_text(@status_text, SB_PROMPT)

  self.rotateYawPitch(@pAnchor.position, @pStart1.position, @pTarget1.position)

  # Set rotated flag so script knows whether to update view or not when leaving tool
  @rotated = true
end

elsif @state == 3
# Select startpoint 2
#@pStart2.pick view, x, y, @pAnchor
if @pStart2.valid?
@state = 4
@status_text = "Pick target to drag entity towards."
Sketchup::set_status_text(@status_text, SB_PROMPT)
end
elsif @state == 4
# Select targetpoint 2 and set roll for selection
#@pTarget2.pick view, x, y, @pAnchor
if @pTarget2.valid?
self.rotateRoll(@pAnchor.position, @pStart2.position, @pTarget2.position, (@pTarget1.position - @pAnchor.position))

  self.reset(view)
end
