      I tried to mimic your example and I am have a few problems.

      1. The IMPOSE GRID function does not modify my "Projection Surface".
      • I am not getting any errors in the Ruby Console when initiating the IMPOSE GRID feature.
      1. I am receiving an error dialog message concerning the " Target grid".

      @unknownuser said:

      INPUT ERROR: Error while parsing the Target grid
      The grid must conform to:

      • A cell consists of exactly four edges. Beware of collinear edge segments
      • Connection edges must attatch to two adjecent corners
      • The grid must have four corners
      • Every row in the grid must have the same number of cells
      • No holes
      • I checked the Target Grid and it all seems to comply with the rules.
      • I am not getting any errors in the Ruby Console

      Attached is the skp.

      Can anyone figure out why it's not working?
      Although I believe I am following the instructions step by step... user error?

        It's been a while since I used Rhino - is the operation of setting up the meshes the same as FlowAlongSrf?

        It is very similar, in Rhino there are no explicit connection edges though.

        @pilou said:

        You have also a "Flow" function inside Moi3D πŸ€“

        That was a nice summary, the projective version of Flow is actually coded and may end up in a later version of Flowify.

        Is v1.2 addressing texture mapping? πŸ˜„

        I will look into this, it would certainly be a nice feature.

                    Edit: I found 'flowify without cut' mode that solves this issue β˜€

                    I was just going to suggest this πŸ˜„

                    Great and useful plugin sir! thank you so much! πŸ‘
                    i played a bit with it and it's really enjoiable, but i have a request if possible/not toohard to accomplish..
                    it looks like the "flow without" cut doesn't add triangles but unsfoften every edges.. can we have an option to preserve edge properties so that this tool could be more esily integrated in an organic/quadfacetools-friendly workflow?

                    edit - attached example

                          Good suggestion! This feature is now introduced in v1.1.0.

                              Thank you Caul. fantastic extension.

                              on my pc the impose grid has no effect on the plane.

                              hence flowify shows errors (but at least it fires), got the 3 groups in place etc.
                              tried with a default plugins set up (flowify the only extension). no success.

                              attach the sample, in case someone can see any blindspots...

                              the tutorials were some of the best i've seen. πŸ‘ πŸ‘

                              %(#BF0080)[EDIT: 😳 i think i made a mistake. i thought i could place the lines a bit inside the group, not always on the extremities. sorry the false alarm! πŸ˜„]

                              EDIT 2: %(#FF0000)[OUT OF THIS WORLD! πŸ˜†]

                              ...

                                This is the most amazing thing I've seen in a while. Brilliant! I've been following a little... but, just took the time to really look at this. I can't believe what this does for workflow! I'm sharing this with friends... people have GOT to know about this.

                                Unless... of course... I'm the last one of my friends to start paying attention... either way. I'm really excited to use this. Thank you for sharing with us.
