Push and pull
-
Hi Kris,
PushPull (and a couple of other tools) work only on single faces. Curved surfaces are made up of (smoothed) facets which you can see if you turn on hidden geometry in the View menu. In fact, now you can even PushPull these separated facets but always only perpendicular to their normals (i.e. the face itself). This couldn't be done with a whole set of these facets included into a curved surface.
However
This doesn't stop certain ruby scripter writing plugins that can do this so please, checkout the Ruby Discussion Forum and have a look at "Joint Push Pull" by Fredo. -
and here is the link to this amazing plugin, written by Fredo6
[Edit] damn, Gaieus beat me to it...

Click Draw:
Tell us more about NUL Transformation. I could not find it.

Just click on the link above. Nul is what is is called in the toolbar. It's a push pull that works with curved faces. It's very cool.

Well, Click:
The only link in any post under this topic is the JointPushPull link provided by Gaieus. If your NUL Transformation reference was supposed to be a link it is either disabled or never was. Perhaps you could mention the site.

mitcorb, I believe Click means the link provided by Gaieus and Plot. I gotta say I don't know what NUL stands for but the Joint Push Pull is what you need. Excellent script. A must have for everybody.

we are talking about the same thing.
When installed the JPP plugin toolbar has to be activated View > Toolbar > NUL Transformation -
Ok, I see.
I have been using the JPP tool for some time and have found it to be an excellent addition.
Thank you. My apologies for thick-headedness. -

Yeah, Fredo is quite poetic. Fo "Tools on Surface" you have to enable "On Surface Operations"
But that only makes it more interesting I think
