      This plugin makes these edges Soft+Smooth - like when you Ctrl+Erase, or enable the Soft and Smooth checkboxes in the Entity Info.

      This tool does not smooth a face it smooths the harsh edge that the default move tool creates.

      Ok we are agree! ☀
      My image above show the same!

        Right, yes, this plugin doesn't make a face planar.

          now if someone could write an exporter to obj that picked up these pseudo-quads and exported as a quad it'd be pretty sweet.

          Rich, does the OBJ format support non-planar quads?

          Are you trying to exchange data between SketchUp and Blender?

            Yes. But Blender will export a nonplanar quad as 4 tris, well that's how SU imports a untriangulated blender .obj export.

            Not just Blender. Most apps I use exchange nonplanar obj quads

            Why?

              Four triangles?

              Can Blender import this mesh and the quads are restored as quads - or are they now triangles?

              And you provide a small sample OBJ file?
              I could write an export utility into QuadFace Tools.

                What you want?

                Blender .obj export

                SU .obj import saved as .skp?

                  OBJ file from Blender with non-planar quads. I'd like to see how Blender generates them.

                    I would be interested as well, simply because I am not so sure that it does such a thing.

                      It does - Blender exports non-planar quads. 😄 I already got an exporter in the making.

                        Thom,

                        I notice that if I have the move tool selected and then activate auto-smooth it fails to smooth.

                        You may have mentioned that in the video but I missed it...

                          Ah. That world be a bug. As I always tap Space and activates the Select tool, so I didn't test the scenario of having one of Move, Rotate or Scale already activated.

                            copying a mesh with CTRL+Move will make the mesh edges soft/smooth as in this .gif....
