[Plugin] QuadFaceTools

Kristusea

That's not the point! I know how to turn off hidden edges.
What i'm saying is when i select the UV Mapping Tool i can only select one axes.
The only part where i can select 2 axes is that part on the pic. Nothing else gets textured even when the whole thing is selected. I hope i made myself clear now.

Can you post the problem SKP, so we can look at it ?

I am using this plugin to texture a special curtain model.

I used SU7 with Quadfacetools and changed now to SU2015pro. and the UV mappingtool doesn't work anymore.

I've downloaded the latest version.

did I do something wrong?

Krisidious

Works for me... Maybe you need TT's new library?

jo-ke

Is also installed the latest version with su2015. I'll post both files here....

jo-ke

here is the comparison

here are the files

su7 works
su2015 doesn't work

quad-su2015.skp

If you open the Ruby Console while you try to use QuadFace Tools - do you see any error message?

Also, can you describe the steps you perform in more detail?

jo-ke

when I start the uv mapper in version 2015 it doesn't show the horizontal and the vertical line to set the direction of the texture. so I can't use it.

jo-ke

it seems to be that the model in version SU7 is quad face and when I import it to SU2015 it is a sandbox mesh.

I converted it again to quadface and the UV texture mapper worked.

everything fine!

thomthom

Did you remember to convert the Sandbox Tool mesh into a QuadFace Tools compatible mesh first?

jo-ke

Yes. I've did it like that and saved the component as SU7 some years ago and used it many times, just using the UV Mapper.

But now, when I import the same component to SU2015 it lost the Quadface- Information and I have to reconvert it to quads, as you described above.

thomthom

Any chance you can provide a sample model with exact steps (video?) of what you do?

jo-ke

the sample model is attached above.

here's the component:

If you load it in SU7 it is already converted to quadface
If you load it in SU2015 you have to convert it to quadface

I do not see a difference in behaviour between the two versions. In both SU7 and SU2015 I had to use SandboxTools Quads to QuadFace Quads for the mapping to work.

jo-ke

On my machines in Version 7 the model is already converted and can be mapped directly.

It is not really a problem, I was just a bit surprised of that fact.

thomthom

Can you do a screen capture? I might be missing a step or something. There should be no difference between machines.

I missed this plugin ! I tried it now because I need quad (planar or non planar) for paneling surface. But I have some problems with the OBJ export (SU pro 2015 on Win 8.1 64)
First, the export setup windows use an huge typo. So I can't see the Scale setup. I edited the CSS file to change it and it's almost OK...
Second and worse, SU suddently close after export. The exported OBJ seems OK but SU dont like do that. Anyone have the same issue ?

Screenshot? Do you have a high DPI monitor?

Hmm... not seen that. Does it happen will all epxorts? Or does it happen with a particular model. If so, can you share it?

Does it simply close? No BugSplat dialog?

I think. It's a HD 1080 screen on a 13" lenovo laptop.

No BugSplash. It's a nice "clean" instant shutdown I will try further with different model tonight and I will tell you more.
I will try too on my second computer on Win 7 64.

I want to "resurect" my old Paracloud Gem that use OBJ quad to panel mesh.
