      thank you all for your response.
      actually, I have to do this manually is not complicated to attach the example above. But it is for the example herein below.
      Sin título-1.png

      because, I should intersect the mesh geometry, delete the faces and lines do not work and soften the mesh.
      and vertical or sloping sides is a bit more complicated.

      Gaieus, thanks for your advice.
      but the plugin does not work for complex forms, only creates a rectangular division and not smooth

        What exactly would you need it for?

          For example, I had to make this mesh.
          so I got the idea for a plugin to create meshes from a pre-selected face

            Looks pretty flat to me?

            Anyway, here is a method that can be used with any slope, and even verticals.
            Just rotate slicer grids as necessary, if you need the grid perpendicular to a face.
            And add another slicer array at 45 degrees (snap it to a corner) if you need the diagonals.
            It's actually often faster than the Move/Copy/Erase method 😄

              You might have a look at thomthom's Plan Tools: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=30512
              I once wrote a test plugin to crop, using a face. I later saw, thomthom had made the exact same tool. There is a youtube video showing it, in the thread.

                bjornkn, thanks for your reply and example.
                But I find it a complicated method.

                thank you very much. It is a very good tool, not knew.
                I've tested this plugin and it works very well with lines, but with smooth lines not working properly.
                Maybe I can consult to senior thomthom about this problem.

                thank you very much for your reply

                  jorge2011, Check out my "Mesh Maker.rb". I used it on part of 01.skp as a test and on the shape in Sub-div.skp. The resulting models are attached along with the plugin.


                  01.skp


                  Sub-div.skp


                  Mesh Maker.rb

                  Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

                    oooo thank you very much. Works perfect
                    It is the first plugin I ask you very kindly and you has scheduled.

                    thank you very much again.

                    Just a suggestion:

                    • is possible add subdivision to the creation of inclined faces?
                    • is possible use the axles of a group or component? currently uses the axis the model.
                    • It is possible create the mesh of subdivision in the face inside of a group or component?
                    • is possible remember the last settings used?

                    Greetings

                      jorge2011, All things are possible but are they worth the effort to achieve them. I will consider your suggestions and try to impliment them if possible. I make no promises though.

                          jorge2011, The attached version of Mesh Maker.rb saves the previous cell size entered and will work on tilted faces, suggestions 1 and 4.
