trust me Fredo - this script will see 'real world' use!
-
Yeah, this looks awesome Fredo. I'm also excited!

Jeff,
That's my point. I don't think Bend will make it.

Wow! I want this.
As a side note I think the Google SU Team should be ashamed of them selves when you look at what the community has developed in the last year compared to what they have done.

I suddenly guess I miss this thread for a while....
Amazing, Fredo you are entering the Ruby's Master Pantheon!@Jeff, what kind of work it is ? Hull making ?

@ Malaise: There were many great photos of skate constructions like this above here but seems disapears
Jeff where are they?
-
Thanks Pilou for theses links, I didn't know that !
@ Fred, what will be the max angle for bending ( ~ 180°) ?

Jeff where are they?oops.. that was a thread i posted a while ago.
the latest thread (probably the one you're referring to) is here:

This will be a great tool with many practical 3 D design life uses. I like using curves in building shapes and items in buildings-furniture-millwork etc. but have felt very curve challenged. The curved surface push pull was a major step forward and this should be an even bigger jump forward.

PS: Attached is another one, based on a Google component
In the video I see that you have problems with the orientation of the Protractor to get the blue axis. Seems that you use the keyboard key up and then shift to lock that axis.
This remembers me that in your shear transformation plugin a feature of the native protactor-rotate tool is missing and perhaps the same happens to this one. The ability of holding down the primary mouse button, and dragging the protractor is faster and better in most of the cases:

PS: And the other icons of the toolbar?
Looks like shear and twist??? -
that teaser looks spectacular indeed, Fredo6.
how is it working, are you auto-subdividing the objects? could be quite difficult with complex objects. -
@Jess : Yes That was this one!
Very cool use of SU for real wood working! Very smooth forms
-
Simply amazing,
...again!I Can't wait to start using it
-
This would be AWESOME!! cant wait

Dang!
Dear Fredo,
you will recive the bill of my parodontal surgeon for the jaw operation.
-
.... BRAVO!
-
Yes, that is certainly one fine script! Look forward to seeing more

The reason I asked is that, although Bending is definitely not part of the native Sketchup transformation and can give interesting results, I am curious to know if it could be useful in a 'practical' 3D design life.
I have been doing 3D design work for many years and can say with absolute certainty that bending is useful in 'practical' 3D design.
I would give my left leg (need my left arm for 3D design work
) for an SU bending script! I am really looking forward to whatever you may come up with! You're the best! -

I design high end custom signage all day long. The most tedious part of designing in sketchup for me is the inability to "bend" text onto a curved surface. For now I have to go through many steps to get the text to appear to wrap the surface. If my client needs a change then it just takes me even long because I have to start over.
This script of yours would be way up there on my list of the most valuable scripts in my arsenal.
Looking forward to making my life easier.
Thanks.
