      Also looking into a way to lock UV mapping co-ordinates - something that would be useful as a standalone plugin and as a feature of others, such as Vertex Tools.

      Yup, and Fredo scale (bending), Shape bender and all. I want to be able to create arches without any hassle. ๐Ÿ˜’

        Whith your shoe that curious, after Polyreduce, number of entities is increasing! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
        I works with only one shoes, save at the end of a process of poly reduce 50%
        Relaunch, poly reduce 50% etc... 6 times!
        At the end I have more entities than the beginning! ๐Ÿ˜’

          i'm very surprised this isn't getting waaaaay more attention (its like the holy grail of SU IMHO). ๐Ÿ˜• give people fur they'll play forever (this does work with fur you know), but give people a real tool and its too much like work i guess ๐Ÿคฃ ??????

                I'd love to see in action screenshots of what kind of modelling people use the plugin for. nudge nudge wink wink

                  Not being freeware (or Cookieware in my case) does present a barrier. Probably would have helped to have a trial - but that isn't a trivial matter.

                  None the less - I feel it's receive a nice amount of attention. Positive feedback so far. ๐Ÿ˜„

                      don't have the shots now but i had a terrain and a road going up, then a tricky corner the road had to come sharply down and turn

                      the fact that i was able to free-select the exact vertices made it easier to bring that part of the road nicely down... (for nicely of course i mean type in the coloured radius of influence.. smooth it with a cold bezier and there you have it!) worked like a cold guinness on a hot pub day ๐Ÿ˜‰

                        Congratulations, ThomThom on your release of this very useful tool. I tried to post a comment here yesterday, but the Reply Button said Locked.??
                        By the way the demo video was very informative and the voice was smooth and steady.
                        Good work.
                        Soon as my budget allows...

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

                          That was the old thread. I locked that and started a new one, so in case there was people reporting issues etc it'd be easier to follow.

                            this isn't completely thought out yet but i just had a little situation where something like this would be sweet.. ๐Ÿ˜„

                            when using 'make planar', as far as i can tell, the vertices are averaged and the slope of the plane is based off that..
                            i needed the plane to be level and my vertices weren't quite there so i used 'make planar' then finagled the resulting plane to level using the rotate tool.

                            would of been sweet if i could've made the plane then chose (either via a single vertex or some other kind of input) which height the plane would be leveled at..

                            other uses might be for cutting a level tract in the side of a hill for instance..

                            i dunno, not that important but just an idea.

                            really a great plugin.

                              Yea - I have been thinking that some way of controlling the make planar would be good. But I've so far not worked out what kind of UI implementation it'd be.

                              I think that when I get the manipulating gizmos working I'd might make sense to have virtual plane to manipulate. You can see what I'm talking about when I release the next UV mapping plugin.

                                ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ Great work Thom! Been away for a while and came back to a real gem. I have a simple request.

                                In Max if you select a bunch of verts, you can hold CTRL and click on the Edge button and it will select all the edges connected to those verts instead....and the same for polygons. Could you do something similar in your Vertex Tools? I would like to be able to utilize the "ignore backfacing" and freehand selection features for edges and faces also.

                                Thanks again bro...really a well polished plugin!

                                  When you exit vertex mode while having vertices selected, that vertex selection will be transfered back to SU. In the same manner than existing SU selection while activating vertex mode will make vertices selected.

                                    Not sure I understand. So if I would turn on ignore backfacing and use freehand selection to select a group of of vertices and I want to extend the selection to connected edges or faces....how would I do it?

                                    Ideally these tools (Freehand selection and ignore backfacing) should be a part of native sketchup. It always baffled me as to why they were not.

                                      When you exit vertex mode, the edges and faces which have all their vertices selected will be selected in SU's native selection.

                                        ...so just go on adding items as you generally do (holding the Shift key).

                                          Today I bought the Vertextools plugin and I really needed it. Sketchup is becoming a "real" modeller. But there's something I don't know how to solve. And it should be possible! I've made a selection of vertices and I want them to narrow a bit, but only along one axis...So the height will stay the same and the width will be scaled. But I can't!!! Pleaaaaasssse Help me Out! I'm getting frustrated!!

                                          THANKS!!!


                                          HELP!!

                                            Non-uniform scaling - that is unfortunately missing from the initial release. It's scheduled for a later release when I get the gizmo's added.
                                            I'm sorry it doesn't help you right now.
