      hello,

      is there a currently published plugin where i can divide an irregular face?(similar to protrude plugin)
      the protrude plugin seem to only work on rectangles. what i have in mind, is using a similar pattern but to an irregular face

      ...Skill is produced when luck becomes a habit...

        Can you post a screenshot or model sample of an "irregular face"?

          Yes Prodrude divides only quadrangular faces ! 😲

          divider.jpg

          But you can divide a big rectangle and make an Overlap + intersection with the form you want πŸ˜‰
          divider1.jpg

          a process maybe like this
          A big rectangle divided by Protrude
          Kill the faces (with the Selection Toy by Thomthom)
          Overlap your irregular faces object
          Select your object + big rectangle
          Intersect selected
          Select Only faces and Copy move πŸ˜‰
          Not a big deal πŸ˜„

          If you want particular forms you can use the tricky Replace Randomly Components by Sdmitch
          A process can be
          A familly of "Source" components objects (say one square, one triangle, one circle) (can be any thing, any number of them)

          Draw the "Target" (a simple component square duplicated as an x,y gride)

          Launch the Plug
          Explode all
          And remake the process above!

          et voilΓ  πŸ˜‰

          divider2.jpg

          If you want not the 3 figures in free space like above, just draw the module "Target" smaller than the Source πŸ˜‰divider3.jpg
