Thanks thomthom
I've also updated and posted my 'EEbyRails' and 'EEbyLoft' tools today so that their new 'Quad Face' options follow the latest standards, where diagonals are soft+smooth+hidden...

Wow! That was fast!

Can you check exactly what version you have to be sure? Type TT::Lib::VERSION into the Ruby Console. I just want to make sure as I've had cases before where users thought they had the latest, but turned out that they didn't.

Does it give you that error every time?
If so, after you started SU, can you open the Ruby Console and type: load 'tt_quadface.rb' and post back any errors if there is any.

TT::Lib::VERSION 2.5.8
When I write load 'tt_quadface.rb' , ruby console generates the following message:

thom thank you very much for your time.
but.

re-install the program sketchup, and now the plugin works fine. I can not have that problem occurred but works fine

thank

thomthom

It works? Good - glad it does.

That last error you posted guides me to where to look. I'll look at the code and see what I can do to avoid it.

Version 0.4.0

Important!
This version redefines what a QuadFace is. In order to use quad face meshes used by older versions you must update them.
Tools > QuadFace Tools > Convert > Sandbox Quads to QuadFace Quads

Stunning... You have done amazing work. I hope this will inspire others too. Thank you!

Pixero

Thanks soo much. Will study it.

thomthom

Has anyone gotten around to try the UV mapping feature?

I know it has some issues and the UI needs improving.

What worked and what didn't work? What's unclear and what is not?

Rich O Brien

I did some quick tests.

When using "Unwrap Picked Grid" it'd be nice if it used inferencing.

Sometimes the texture reverses though I haven't reproduced this regularly.

Other than that it's nomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom

For placing the grid?

O'RLY? o_O Let me know if you can reproduce it. And even if you can't, post the result?

Btw, that UV test tile you got there... ?

Rich O Brien

What about my UV test tile? You don't like it?

Rich O Brien

yes for placing the grid
