[Plugin][$] JointPushPull Interactive - v4.9a - 02 Apr 25

First, you could select the 4 surfaces at once

• select the first surface
• Move over the other surfaces with SHIFT pressed
• Release Shift

Second, if you do it surface by surface, you should toggle on the button "Neighbour influence" in the 'Misc' sub-palette.

Fredo, I don't understand. Could you please show 'one click' procedure (not strip by strip clicks). thank you in advance.

I am not clear. Do you want a 'valley' between each surface or have them joined.

If you wish the valleys, then you have to select the surfaces one by one. Otherwise, you would mold the whole terrain.

[rv1974]

you just exactly reproduced the way I created the 'wanted' model.
Originally I just wanted clarity (or request ) maybe there's some combination of settings that allows to achieve the 'wanted' result without tedious 'one by one' clicking

Many things can be done, but it would make the UI more complex...

[rv1974]

something like this

>>Many things can be done, but it would make the UI more complex...
Ok, I'm just suggesting to tweak the plugin's behavior without UI changing:
If face selection = surface,
molding not equal 0,
borders = grid,
Then
'moldings' to be created between surfaces (and not along contour only)?

This does not work in Sketchup 2020 after installing the latest Fredotools. When will this be fixed?

[TIG]

It should work OK.
You need the latest RBZs installing for the Fredo Extensions and his LibFredo.
Note that the JPP Extension is separate from FredoTools Extension ???

After installing them you'll also need to restart SketchUp to sync everything.

When you say, "it doesn't work", what is the problem ? what are the error messages ? etc - providing those [if any] would help us to help you...

[Tymnastik]

Please I have installed fredo jpits shows on the tool bar but it won't work

Did you also install LibFredo6?

What version of SketchUp are you actually using? Your profile says 2018 Free/Make but there is no such version. Knowing the right version could help us help you.

hi Fredo.
I ran into such a problem, I cannot make a uniform indentation around the entire perimeter on a model with an irregular shape. I couldn't find any plugin that could do this.
I have a big request to you to consider this improvement in the next versions of your excellent plugin. Thank you so much for your work!

Joint push pull Joint and Thickener both fail with errors when I try to make this skin (part of a geodesic dome of frequency 3) thicker (by 3/4"). But they only do it when the component is part of a larger model.

In a separate model, both those forms work, but only extrude normal to the faces (as designed).

Extrude works, but takes only an average direction, presumably along the radius to the centre of the hexagon.

Feature request: could there be an option in the existing plugin to enlarge radially from a given centre? Either the origin of a component opened for editing, or perhaps picked by the user?
Trying to thicken this radially from its origin.

I've managed to do it approximately with the Scale tool, but can't get it to scale to an exact thickness of 3/4"

[Dave R]

Is this what you're trying to do?

[fredo6]

JPP Thickening is done along the normal of faces. If it happens that all faces are perpendicular to the the radial dierction, then it is OK.

Installed libfredo6 11.4f -> JointPushPull is not awailable and cannot be installed anymore.
Message(german): "JointPushPull_v4.4e.rbz konnte nicht installiert werden."

If you have successfully downloaded Fredo's extension as an RBZ file, then you still need to 'Install' it... using the appropriate button on SketchUp's 'Extension Manager' dialog...
But note that, as explained in the extension's notes, it also requires you to download and install a suitable version of the Libfredo... RBZ... [>=8.7]
After that you will need to restart SketchUp to 'sync' the loading files...

[Raimondo_Vincenti]

Fredo6 Libfredo6 is installed (Version11.4f) is installed
Still cannot install JointPushPull - a Sketchup 2021 problem?

I could use JountPushPull in Sketchup 2020.
