      Is it possible that VT could respect CPoints?

              Hi,

              I do not know what I'm doing wrong. For me smoothing doesn't work although the function is checked. I thank you in advance for any help.

                It is working. Turn off hidden geometry and you will see all the faces have 4 edges.

                  I assume you mean the soft selection? When you have the Select tool activated, enter a radius in the VCB.

                    Hi Thomas,
                    Yes that was what I meant. Thanks for the hint.

                      If any OSX Mavericks users tried to register Vertex Tools recently and failed to do so there is a fix released (1.1.7) that takes care of the issue.

                        I've tried to create a simple star with vertex scaling (see screencast), but it's getting unsymmetrical, any ideas?

                            It works if you use a 10 sided circle rather than a polygon.

                              Yes, it's the same.

                              Same behaviour for polygon, circle, exploded edges, ...

                              I think the reason is the not centered position of the gizmo (with every second vertex selected):

                                Yes, that's because the center of the five selected vertices isn't the center of the polygon.

                                You can right-click the Gizmo > Gizmo > Align Custom and then set the position of the gizmo. Note that it works like the Align Axis tool, so you must pick center point and then the X and Y axes.

                                You can then scale and get your start. Note that after scaling the gizmo re-centers itself.

                                    I know Vertex Tools has been around for a little while but I only recently downloaded the trial version and I just have to say that this plugin finally fills in such a huge hole that Sketchup has been missing in advanced modelling tools and techniques. I only wish I had noticed it before. I was especially STOKED with the scale tool implementation that not only aligns vertices to a single axis, but that we can finally get rid of artifact lines by scaling a plane to absolute zero. Ya-freakin-hoo, it's about time.

                                    Also love the extrude edge and merge vertex options. Beautiful man.

                                          I was just trolling through the thread and noticed a number of times you asked for action shots of the tool in use. Here's a quick doodle I did the other day for fun.

                                          Fantastic tool, couldn't live without it.
