Edit raw vertex data
-
Hi guys,
I have worked with a couple of other CAD programs that provide you with a window for editing raw vertex data. See attached image. I was wandering if something similar would be possible in SketchUp?
I appreciate this doesn't actually add any functionality, but it is a very direct way of moving points to absolute positions.
I hope this makes sense.

You're asking as a user? Not a developer?
In Vertex Tools v1.1 (not released yet) I added absolute and relative VCB positioning for the Move tool - like the native Move tool has.
A window like the one you display there would be possible - but not for version 1.1. But if you could describe a case usage example for it I might look into it for version 1.2.

Hi Thom Thom,
Thanks for the response. I dabble in writing my own scripts, but I wouldn't know where to start on this one! So I guess I'm asking as more of a user.
I came across a situation this morning where I was working with some imported geometry from another company. There was a long row of pillars all with slightly different Z-coordinates, I wanted to normalise them to a certain position in Z. Hopefully the attached image illustrates this.
I know this could easily be done with the move tool or the push/pull tool, but I reckon using a vertex table would have to be quickest/most direct. It could also have applications for checking geometry i.e. when you can't create a face because the bounding edges are not co-planar.
