          Hi, ThomThom:
          Thank you again for this excellent tool. And thank you for the 2.0.4 update. Will you be inserting info on the update in the first post?

          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

              Thanks for the plugin. I'm getting ready to try the simplify curves routine on a large number of contours. As always, these plugins you and others generously make available are great time savers, and I appreciate your efforts. Thanks again. πŸ‘

                Man, I am just amazed. Your plugins are the zen that I've wished Sketchup had. Great work, seriously.

                  on dividing a face with lines is there a way that the divisions go at a fixed distance. for. e.g. we copy one line at 1m and repeat copy it, we press 6x to make 6 copies for it. the same thing i want to do with this plugin, hw is this possible ❓

                    By using the VCB - similar to how you use the native Move tool.

                        jeez 😲 .. i missed this plugin too.. some awesome stuff in there!
                        thanks.

                        i think what i'd like for it to do might complicate the 'simplify curves' option.. it works great now in many cases (setting to 0 which joins all applicable edges)

                        what i'd like to be able to do is have it weld everything except there would be some sort of filter(?) in place that won't weld anything less than a certain angle... like if the angle between two edges is sharper than, say, 1 radian then the edges won't be joined..

                        just an idea and one that i personally wouldn't use very often (and i imagine i'd use it more than most people.. maybe once or twice during a heavy modeling session..)

                        if you like the idea then go for it.. otherwise, don't sweat it πŸ˜„

                          So useful! it's also perfect for solving line problems that occurs on autocad imports.

                              That you can do with the native Move - using the copy array modifier.

                                Not quite understand,Can only offset the surface line,As above, and CAD functions.I'm just too greedy,Tool itself is very strong

                                  You just need to do a linear array to do what you showed in the CAD animation.

                                      Please see the image for a use of 'face divide' for quickly uniformly hatching a face. It works very well for this as I understand it: click an edge, move to the farthest edge to check distance (and alternatively input a distance), then divide by a number which will result in the size hatch you want.

                                      Thank you.

                                      FORGET THIS: Any chance for a mod so it can be used like copy multiple, thereby saving a step, or is this already possible? I see up above that you say it is... I guess your way only takes two steps, just like copy multiple. So, yeah, forget it.edge tools -1.JPG
                                      With this hatch roads to be abandoned are indicated. The potential transparency of such edge hatches reads much better than textures, IMO. Yes, I agree, it is surely not the best way to do this, creating as it does 500 or so new edges.edge tools -2.JPG

                                          Any errors in the Ruby Console?

                                            Ill have to look when I get home. I installed fredos multi directory at the time, and since it wasnt working I installed it back to root plug folder.. Maybe it is the division of the lib in different directories
