      what does it mean to extrude segment?

      It mades that SU can't made with the native tools! πŸ˜‰

      Very useful! πŸ‘
      And works of course with multiple sélection! 😎 So curves etc...

      Here the vertical move but you can make any 360Β° !

      PS and it's repeating! So new selection is the new position of the segment! etc... 😎

      If you want scale the segment draw another segment somewhere and scale the 2 segments in the same time πŸ˜‰

        You can't have a losange or a 4 segment surface so a polygon if these 2 triangles are not on the same plan!
        You will have always 2 triangles!

        OK. then there could be solution to correct triangles which are created when you create some line. I will show image, what I mean, wait.

          Projections will be very useful, but does not solve actual problem. And how can I change division number? I tried enter, tab, f4, f5, nothing helped.

            Try tools on surface by Fredo 6
            It's useful for draw on curvated surface!

            for your triangle that will be not a "flat" triangle because you are on curvated surface!
            So a curvated triangle

              Then I need to transform the curved faces to flat faces.

                If you flat the "rectangle" some faces around it will be deform too πŸ˜‰

                  Pilou, I have opened the document, selected the object and checked the window Soften Edges. There are 0Β°. So it is really not object with curved faces. Maybe there some conversion happened without me to be aware. Strange. All lines are no dashed no, but I don't remember that I would do some conversion.

                  So there is not a way how to arrange two planes on the way, they to be on the same plane?

                    kill all segments where is the rectangle
                    draw the rectangle and fill the holes around it with new segments

                          I did it in different way:

                          http://i47.tinypic.com/u8sjc.jpg

                          Side view:

                          http://i49.tinypic.com/5x0jr8.png

                          But it is slow work. It took me few minutes to make the lines parralel. Then I used Created faces tool from utilities.

                          You see that it is possible to do it. Hence now I need only plugin to make two lines parallel. Or 2x2 parallel. Is there some for it? I did it just with my own estimation (just observing/comparing) because I don't the technique to do that accurarely.

                            Did you wanted to say boy's game?

                            The guy does nice plug-ins, nice icons and it look really useful in practice. I only had really big problem to understand his English in the video so I capture 4% of the content.

                            See the "Co-linear Edges" - this look like this toy could do the job I need. Don't you think? Thanks for link.

                            Do you understand how the to control the colinear tool?
                            What I must to do if I want to make the two lines of the face paralel? (same image as above). I try and it nothing did to my model...

                                TGI3D - cross section tool : error: Cannot resolve cross seciton.

                                This problem can occur, when the program has has some dilemma. In the tutorial with wine glass, there is a cylinder and the instructor deleted at least top of the cylinder. In the case, that I create cylinder, which top is different shape or different angle then the bottom, than this problem will occur. The solution would be simple. Either delete top of the cylinder, or bottom, or (maybe), to draw one more circle on the face of the cylinder - I would use Tools on surface.

                                  To deform faces, I found very useful, fast and simple to use this tool:

                                  TGI3D: move

                                  http://i48.tinypic.com/ve3typ.png

                                  It is much more better then LSS deformation functions which are too slow (and create extra group, which is not needed in my case)
