              Good question. I'll make a post when I know myself. 😉

                      Hi!
                      I'd have another suggestion of upgrade. "Make Planar" tool would be more useful if we could specify the plane for selected vertices to be flattened to. For example, set the plane with two vectors, like TIG's Mirror does.

                        Adjust the Gismo to the direction you want then Make Planer.

                          You can also scale to zero for the same effect in the model axis planes.

                            Wow, scaling to 0 😲 It is a game-changer I wished SketchUp had for a long time. And only now I realised FredoScale can do it as well.
                            Curious how many more surprises are hidden in these little buttons 😄

                              One of the most frustrating things about teaching is how much students don't learn. Which can be read as hear, see, retain, remember, bother to take in, have any interest in, or simply haven't been exposed to. Amongst others.
                              Pretty much everything has already been asked, answered and argued over in these forums, much like the rest of the internet you never get to the end of it and there's not much that hasn't already gone before.

                                I don't recall if v1 snap to scale 0 - but v2 will for sure. Making it easier.

                                (I had similar revelation about scaling negative to flip/mirror.)

                                Challenge with all the gems in the forums is that they aren't always easy to find. Often they are buried deep in lengthy threads.

                                  So true, I didn't mean anything by it. Just noting that we all tend to read what's in front then scroll on rather than following the story.

                                    Hi Thomas,
                                    Thank you so much for the great plugin.
                                    Is there a chance to add some features to VT:

                                    1st: to extrude with scale similar to the move tool by holding the Ctrl key?

                                    2nd: Furthermore moving only in one direction at a time is time consuming, I've seen you've got another type of gizmo which has three planes which you can move in two direction by clicking on each of them?

                                    3rd: Also, the soft selection selects vertices in a sphere shape, could you add a feature to firstly choose which vertices to select and then continue to soft select?

                                      Yes - in fact, it's already added to the upcoming v2.

                                        This is how Vertex Tools selects vertices if I type 30 for soft selection:

                                        https://i.ibb.co/p2mLKcC/image.png

                                        But I only want the bottom quads selected. So, firstly I have to group those quads and then modify the vertices:

                                        https://i.ibb.co/wBWq7H4/image.png

                                        But this method has some deficiencies:
                                        first, we will have separated quads by modifying vertices.
                                        second, to join them again, we need to move those vertices which both takes much time and may not be accurate
                                        third, we need to explode the group to join the parts again.
                                        But if there were an option just like grouping which let you choose which vertices to affect the soft selection, then we could eliminate those steps

                                          I see now. I got plans for that as well - to add an option to apply soft selection by connected edge distance.

                                            Thom, I love the plugin, but there is a problem I keep running into, and I'm not sure if it's just a missing feature, or if it's a PEBKAC error. Is it possible to scale things unidirectionally?

                                            For example, select group of vertices, and then scale with gizmo tool only in the positive direction on the chosen axis, instead of what it currently does, which is scale in both positive and negative on the chosen axis?

                                            If there is a way to do this, it would make me very happy, 😄 as currently, this is not as useful to me as it could be for shaping terrain, which is my main use for VT.

                                            In order to avoid this being a Pebkac error, I havealready looked over the manual, and read back through the thread. So far, I haven't found a way to do this. Basically, I just want hte scale function to work the same way SU's native scale tool does, or Fredo's scale tool. As it is right now, it acts like Fredo's scale tool after you press CTRL, with no way to turn that off.

                                            Arigato!
