[Plugin] Sculpt Tools v 1.0...
-
Thanks BTM
-
I concur...these tools (v1) do NOT currently work with SketchUp 8. Too bad, because they look amazing!
-
can someone confirm that it doesnt work in SU8? because the plugin does load in SU8 for me, and you can manipulate meshes, but its really slow?! not sure if im using it wrong or if its not working, havent used it before..
edit: ok i just saw this video http://www.screencast.com/t/FOl5w6XE , it defenitely doesnt work like this

If you have downloaded the zip file and extracted it correctly, you should have a Folder [btm_Sculpt_Tools of 76.5kB] and a file [btm_Sculpt_Tools_Loader.rb] both located in your Sketchup 8 Plugins folder.
I am having trouble with Winzip in my Windows 7 machine, so I simply copy pasted these two items from my Sketchup 7 Plugins folder.
The attachment is a good faith attempt to show you it worked, but this is a Scene, not a screen capture, so I can't show you the icons toolbar. And it was very responsive. The mesh/grid was created on the top surface using the line tool and move/copy multiple in both x and y directions.
EDIT: My copy of Sk8 is not fully loaded with all of the plugins I have collected through Sk7. So, I am just guessing some other plugin you have may be interfering? maybe not? or it is the problem with your original download and deploy?
-
ok, i got it to work now! by deleting all my plugins and copying them again with a fresh download
-
is this plugin still available to download and to use for current/latest SketchUp?
it seems good to help making curvy surface i think. -
I found this video which explains how to use the sculpt tools,
drawing first from scratch in sandtools that I never knew ¡
Though it is explained in Turkish, i think, it is clear enough .Cheers

This Plugin is great , thanks bro

Cool plugin. Working in Sketcup 2013.
Thanks!!!! -
Got a bit of a problem using Sculpt Tools here, as I'm using Sketchup 8, which I've heard is supposedly incompatible with the plugin. After reading some earlier posts, it seems that I have to uninstall all my plugins and then reinstall them for Sculpt Tools to work.
Thing is, it loads just fine, but it does nothing when I select bulge/smooth/drag whatever. I tried left/right clicking and pressing the arrow keys. It does absolutely nothing.
Am I using it right, or do I have to uninstall and then reinstall my other plugins?
BTW, if I simply cut and pasted all my plugins from the Sketchup folder to a backup folder, installed Sculpt tools and then re-pasted the plugins back into Sketchup plugin folder, would that work?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I have the same issue in SU2014, is this plugin outdated now? The only other free sculpt tool I can find seems to only work with pro (DM_artisan). It seems quite hard to browse the plugin wh, as people may use different terms, languages, or even misspellings to classify their work. Can anyone point me to a plugin that is similar, or how to get this to work with SU 2013 or (preferably) 2014? thx

I would say it is outdated. Last updated in 2009, and the author hasn't added to this thread since Oct 2010.
Has anyone tried to contact the the author?

So, what does everyone use to sculpt? I need to make a bush/hedge. I don't want it to be all boxy, what can I use?

Many use Artisan by whaat, or ThomThom's Vertex Tools. These are both very reasonably priced, and, I think Artisan has a demo offer.

TT's vertex has a trial, thx. Waanna learn how to use these things, and see if they will work for me/my project before paying $40, and I had problems getting artisan to do anything, it just stayed grey like i had already used up the trial. I'm gonna try Vertex tools, which I had no idea were similar to artisan
-
While looking for directions on the use of vertex tools, I realized that the sandbox tools seem to be at least a minimal version for doing this type of work. Anyone like me, that didn't know this, use the free and native tool by enabling it in window/preferences/extensions, then enable the toolbar in view.
-
The Sandbox tools work only in the Z direction. But you can do your "sculpting" on the ground group, then tilt it up when you need to.

the Sculpt Tools plugin is in .rb, but sketchup pro can't install it. It seems that I can only install .rbz...
Can anyone teach me how to install .rb file in sketch up pro? Thanks a lot! -
