Very cool!!!
Thank you!

Working nicely! Very valuable tool for quick and clean quad face modelling.

Could you make it so, that the green / red color is removed when disabling Live Mesh Analysis?
That would show clearly, if the system is switched on or off.

hm... yea, that's not a bad idea. All though - it would remove the materials completely. It would not restore any materials that might previously been there as it's not being tracked and isn't easily trackable either.

Hello ThomThom,

I'm currently attempting to size a UV texture using the UV Mapping tool with standard measurements (i.e inches 12", 12") but the value is ignored when typed. Did I type the values correctly or miss something else? Thanks.

Regards

thomthom

Hm... can you share a sample model? Maybe it's related to model units or something. (which version of QFT do you have?)

Hello ThomThom,

See attached model. I have the latest version 0.11.0

UV_Example.skp

thomthom

Oh, I see now. The input is accepting input as relative scale - not model units. The input currently represent how many times the texture tiles across the X and Y UV axes.

Hello ThomThom,

Thank you for looking at this. I was just converting from metric to standard, but it would be convenient if you could enter the actual model units. Thanks again for a great plugin.

Version 0.12.0

Made OBJ importer create groups from OBJ groups.
Made OBJ importer correct SketchUp's "auto-orientation" of faces which was some times confused by internal faces.

thomthom

Version 0.12.0 was made to allow OBJs exported using Mineways read properly in SketchUp:

This is my home in minecraft . This really works and it's amazing! Some manual labor was needed to clean up the edges between blocks but that's fine, the plugin does a great job!

Anyone uses OffsetLoop? Whats the best way to use it? I'm getting mostly crashes / bugreport Oops-loops with 0.12.

thomthom

Got a sample model? Screenshot?

Just a simple box and there we go again. If nobody else has problems I guess its a clash with other plugins. I will try to do a clean install for all my plugins soon.

thomthom

Doesn't have to be a clash. The offset tool is a recent one that was more of an experiment. I had it hidden for a while but people insisted it should be visible by default. But it will have some problems still. I have an open issue to improve or rewrite it.

That being said - I wasn't able to reproduce your exact scenario. Can you share the model please?

Also, what version of the extension do you have?

kaas

I'm using
QFC 0.12.0
TTlib 2.10.6

I attached a file. The shape doesn't really matter though - sometimes it crashes on me on a simple box...

Edit 10-10-2016: just cleaned my plugin directory. Installed TT_lib2, QFT, Selectiontoys and tested again. Same crashes so I would suspect no clashing plugins.

qft_oops.skp

thomthom

Hmm.... I cannot reproduce on this one either. Can you do a video capture to show your steps?

Here you go - shocking isn't it? I'm thinking I'm wasting your time. There must be something wrong at my end. Although it is strange; only TTlib2, QFT, Selection toys installed (all fresh from SketchUcation tools & TTlib2 from Extension warehouse). SU-pro 16.1.1449 64 bit.

Edit + pic: it also crashes after adding a few loops and at some point it doesn't detect the loop anymore (blue line) and...ooops

qft_oops.avi

thomthom

Hmm... have you submitted the reports? Did you include your name/email other info?

Also, what version of Internet Explorer do you have installed? The error reporting dialog looks odd.

I have submitted only a very few (user name Max). Sometimes it caused an oops-loop and I didn't report those either.

I'm running win7 x64 on my desktop with IE11.0.9600.18449
