Hi everyone,

Is project shape on a plane possible on a Mac? I can't seem to find this option.

Thanks

Hi,
how do you report a bug?
(well, I believe that what I see is a bug, not a feature

version 4.4e, Sk Pro

@iggi,

Can you send me the model.

I think it has to do with the original circular profile sections, which are not generated parallel to the axes.

Fredo wouldn't it be fantastic to add context-free JPP mode for edges? It would demand some smart path selection tool similar to the one in profile builder.

That's a different plugin, because the extrusion is based on contour lines, not faces.

Interesting anyway.

Which software is it?

some script for Max. If you could develop it for SU.. it'd have a huge advantage because
SU allows to 'hack' the context hierarchy.

Which script is that? Is free?
In Max I'm able to do 99% of that stuff without any script at all just using regular editpoly edge mode (just select the loop, set "normal" constraint, extrude/scale and then pull up and down without constraints).
But that corner options look intriguing btw..

I did a similar request to Thomas, because I feel that normal constraint is one of the few mayor tool still missing in the QFT/VT/SubD workflow.
Not sure this edge job is suitable for JPP itself which is more of a shell/push/face extrude tool.
But never put limits to the Fredo power.. Maybe some normal face extrude logic is reusable on edges?

Yes it'd be natural to expect tool like this from Fredo or TT. I also saw Whaat is working on all-quad Artisan 2.

Thank you. Too bad the download link doesn't work anymore.

Yes, the page works, but the download button does nothing.

Everything works here, maybe its your ad blocker- try DL via smart phone. Let's discuss it in PMs, not in the thread

Hi Fredo
There seems to be an issue with JPP Normal.
It doesn't produce sides.
This is running 2021.1.299 on Win 7 with Lib 11.9c and JPP 4.4e

I just tested it with 2018 Pro and it works fine. Must be something with the newer SU version.

That's 100% because you set "borders" to "none".

I was sure I had checked that, in fact I'm still sure that I changed to to None while trying to make it work.
But you are absolutely correct, as soon as I set it to Contour or Grid it works perfectly.
Sorry Fredo, all good.

Glad that it helped.
