[Plugin] QuadFaceTools
-
I'm guessing you placed the content of the TT_Lib2 folder in the ZIP files directly into the root of the plugins folder. Instead you should have preserved the path footprint - as described next to the download link.
Alternatively, I would recommend, you install plugins with this utility which ensures they are correctly installed:

I looked at the online list of features but for some tools I can't easily associate the icon to the tool. I don't see icons for every tool noted. When I hover on the QFT icons I don't get a description either. Is there more on this, eg a pdf?

Yea - it's need better documentation and it's still in beta shape. I need to make some videos as well.

All I got is the Wiki: https://bitbucket.org/thomthom/quadface-tools/wiki/HomeThanks for the reply TT. At the speed I am learning-- NO hurry. I realize you have a few other things to do like some sort of bezier surface modeler. Oh, and I assume you have a life beyond our petty desires?

Toolbar orientation?
Horizontal toolbar icons seldom reveal themselves on Mac's?
Hover over vertical toolbar maybe. -

Hover over vertical toolbar maybe.Doesn't work for me. I just figured out if I leave the Ruby window open I can get some info when clicking on the icons.

hmm... so are you getting no tooltips at all when you hover over the buttons? Because there are tooltips...
-
OK they're back. After restart. I know this has happened before... Sorry for the bother. I've been getting somewhere with it now.

Hi!
I can't load a plug-in on the first page. It because of new design of a site?
Win7 x64, Chrome. -

Yes - that's a big fail on account of the new site. I'll let the admins know.
Meanwhile - download here: https://bitbucket.org/thomthom/quadface-tools/wiki/Download

Okay, I'm seriously confused here. Only managed to get this work once and all other attempts to repeat the process failed ever since. What do I do wrong?
- Creating a sandbox plane. 50x50 meters, if size matters anyhow.
- Converting sandbox to QuadTools quads.
- Copying the plane nearby.
- Texturing original plane. Texture is set to 50m, so it does not repeat.
- Entering original plane group and copying UV coordinates.
So far so good, paste button is now active.
- Entering copied plane group and pasting UV coordinates.
- Nada.
I tried all kinds of various methods for conversion - exploded, grouped, did whatnot. Something I noticed is sometimes sandbox quads are turned into triangles when converted and sometimes they are not?!
Help

Do the tools work with SketchUp V7?
Do I need any other plugins/ scripts for them to work?Thank you.
-
Yes.
Just follow the instructions on the page that appear when you click the Download button and you'll be all set.

A quad face property is when the diagonal edge on a non planar 4 sided object has soften and smooth property on and the cast shadow property off.

Ok, so I replied to a post that has now disappeared so it looks like I just blurted out random crap.
But for that mystery guy see above....

Didn't notice this until now. Still having problems?
Got a sample model? -
Unfortunately I get this error message when SU7 starts:
"can't convert nil into StringError Loading File tt_quadface.rb
can't convert nil into String"I don't know what this means so I can't use it.
-
Have tt_quadface.rb in the root of the plugins folder?
It should not reside in a folder within the plugin folder as per the footprint in the first post.
-
Open the Ruby Console (Window > Ruby Console) and enter:
load 'tt_quadface.rb'. Report back the whole error.(Btw, can you post a screenshot of your Plugins folder?)
