[WIP][$] Vertex Edit
-
btw - locking vertices would only work within the VE tool. I won't be trying to prevent any other tool from modifying them.

I would also find this feature useful and would not necessarily mind if it were only locked by VE. Like Chris, when manipulating some terrain model pieces, I also come across the flaws of the Smoove tool for instance that I can never make sure that the edges (which would match the edges of other pieces) are not affected.
We'll see.

Yup, exactly. Smooth is great, but without the ability to lock the edges in place, it often is not entirely useable.
I do not even mind if they stay locked between sessions honestly. That would be more of a bonus feature - definitely cool, but not necessary.

I'm thinking that Locked vertices might even benefit from a "Soft Selection". So that given a radius around the locked vertices they are affected less.

Masking Geometry +1... Otherwise looks keen.

Locking is sometimes called masking in other apps -- like masking out for painting...

yes! would prevent a hard transition, but it should be settable in case you want a hard transition or something in between.
this is getting very exiting, any idea when we'll get our first taste? -

Depends on cosmic variables. Such as the Sun. And beer. And BBQ.
-
Yes Thom, a transition would be idea. I was imagining that maybe the soft selection from the selected points could recognize if they were going to run into locked points. Then it would just decrease their selected % so it was a smooth gradient to the locked point (if that made any sense....

There some truth to that...

Thom,
It's looking great and will definitely be on my "Buy" list!My feature request should be pretty simple?? Please, please, make a Chris Fulmer type menu item ("TT tools" or similar) - with all your stuff that's on the user's machine listed there.
I am a plugin junkie and "hunt the plugin" gets very tiring!

Ah yes - not Vertex Edit specific, but I do have something planned for this as well. Though VE is at the top of my priority list I'm working on a update to my TT_Lib where I'll let the user control how they want to arrange the menus if the plugins that register the menus via TT_Lib. I'll be updating my plugin to use that once that system is in place.

just vertexes ? it could be extended by segment and faces ... inn't it ?

once you control the vertex the others will follow.
edge = 2 vertex
face = 3 or more vertex
you get the idea, and knowing thomas's selection toys i'm sure he'll through a couple selection filters tricks in here like select verts by face...
right thom? -
Sketchup already have tools for Edges and Faces.
Are you maybe referring to the soft selection?
-
ooooo
thom excellent tool. I am eager to buy the plugins.
please post another video with advances of plugins.As for cost?
when livera its first version? -
go Thomas!

hope you keep some of the wikii tools function in mind with your gizmo.
