I'm just throwing this out there but you are aware that vertex tools does respect QuadFace convention?

I haven't used it since my initial trial - I was just assuming from the videos that the gizmo distorted everything free-hand. Now I'll have to give it another go!

[Rich O Brien]

It doesn't.

Also install Thom's AutoSmooth plugin to force quadface creation on nonplanar quads

Thanks Rich - really appreciate the advice .

I'd been putting off working with vertex tools, but it seems like it's going to be essential when it comes to improving my Artisan modelling.

There go my plans for the weekend out the window .

Here's a neat little trick I figured out today. It's a method for creating a more relaxed (evenly spaced) subdivision for a many-sided circular planes.

You will need QuadFaceTools (QFT in the gif) and SplitTools:

nice, what did you use to make the gif?

yes, equally spaced loops really help the subdivided mesh.

Photoshop CS6.

Now, if there was only a plugin that could automate that kind of subdivision with a few clicks .

Wow, this is a great thread.

Thanks Carsten and the other talented SketchUp artists for posted their models.

I learned a lot. Very inspiring.

Keep them coming.

Cheers!
