      1. Being able to flip between subdivide/unsubdivide without undo.

      This seems to be a common request. Users seem to be not using proxy subdivision modelling in favour of applying SDS and then hitting the 'undo' button to get back to unsubdivided. This leads me to believe that there are some workflow issues with proxy modelling. Can someone tell me what are the reasons that users do not like to use the low-poly proxy modelling workflow?

      Another question I have is this:
      Does anyone ever use the 'copy materials' option? It is slow and does not properly interpolate the UV coordinates. I had in mind to fix the UV issue but my preference would be to remove the feature entirely. It will always be slow and I wonder if there is any significant benefit to it. Fixing the UV issue will take a lot of time and I would rather devote time to other features. Any thoughts?

        if it automatically applied smoothing when it finished then I reckon more people would use the apply materials option

          i don t know if u can make a chamfer tool..this will be great and save a lot of work(at last for me)
          the only bad thing and decisive is that SU works with triangulation ๐Ÿ˜,and because of this is almost impossible to create chamfer

            perhaps 'sketchy bevel' by chris philips would do this for you? It draws chamfers.

              that is good for flat areas ,,on the triangulated areas it s a mess
              this is what i m talking about ..this is a normal meshthis is what i want for chamfer to do :adding one or more lines   to the selected linessds result after chamfersds result without chamfer

                it would be great if it worked, i think everyone would use it. if for nothing else than selection sets by material.

                        I really don't know the answer to this. It is too early to say. I really hope we can set up a system on Smustard to provide a nominal upgrade price for those who bought. As far as I know, Smustard is still not set up to do this. I know RickW was looking into this and I intend to ask him what the status is.

                            Sorry for being a bit snappy there andrew, i thought you meant it in 'SDS wasnt worth the cash the first time so we should get a free upgrade' sort of way ๐Ÿ˜ณ Thats obviously not the case.

                                Hi, i was wondering how can i add a thickness to a curved object'surface? eg like offsetting it. The reason of asking is let say if i have to creat a mould for a product, and i need to give a thickness to the rapid prototyping machine.

                                  Have a look at fred06's joint pushpull plugin (you should be able to find it in the ruby forum.) Sounds like it should do what your after.

                                    could you not just have ver-3 and ver-3upgrade as two seperate scripts (products) on smustard?

                                        make ver.3up dependant on one of the files from ver.2, maybe the icons or something. hell, i'm sure Whaat could figure something out. i know i don't want to pay full price for an upgrade thats for sure.

                                          I'm a bit confused here. What profiles are you able to use in SDS? Are you maybe talking about profile builder?
