      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?

                    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.... 😒 ).

                      by looks of your picture you don't get much sun. 🤣 but lots of beer! 😉

                          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!

                          Chris

                            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.

                                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?

                                          You're referring to the editing gizmos, right?
                                          I have plans for such features. I'm basing it on the Move/Rotate/Scale gizmo you see in 3DsMax - other 3d apps have similar.
                                          Though I'm still not sure if I include that in the initial release or in the follow up. I want to ensure they work properly, so to avoid dragging out the development time before first release I might just keep the plainer versions first.
                                          Core basic features first. Then cool enhancements added progressively.
