i noticed you are also triyng to edit the subdivided mesh. unless you just converted it to "plain mesh" from the right click menu, editing the smoothed mesh is pointless, because when you toggle off sub-d, it will revert back to the original control cage.. and all of the editing done directly on the limit mesh will be lost.

Thanks ... i found out that myself. The hard way.

After a quick play with SUbD, i noticed that one feature would be GREAT to have:

-some sort of "selection sets" for creased edges/vertices. When selecting more edges and crease them together, maybe i want to come back to same set to adjust them further. Every time I have to manually select them all, which is a bit of a pain when there are many. But if there would be a way to select all edges that were creased in the same set, would be awesome.

How I am thinking it can be accomplished: using attribute dictionaries, for example. Giving a sort of unique ID to all edges that were creased simultaneously, so when the selection tool looks for which edges to select, it will filter them out by this unique id.

I already saw that the creased edges are displayed in a "red" color, which red value varies depending on how creased it is. So, i am assuming those edges are already recognized... maybe selecting them as a "set" would be a easy step to add.

Yes - Crease Sets is something I already have on the radar. At the moment I'm thinking of something like a dialog that let you manage a list of creases - such that you can easily locate and manioulate them. One challenge to resolve is how to represent creases with varying creasing - like, what do you do if you adjust a crease with non-uniform crease.

I create a cube, make it a group, click Toggle subdivision on/off, and…

"OOPS! an error occurred…"

Here you go Thomthom, I hope this helps (click on gif):

SubD - Crease editor.gif

It isn't represented at the bottom (as this editor is actually a color gradient editor) but you could have a Value/Lighness slider next to a values input box for precise manipulation of crease values.

Ah, yes - there is a bug that happen only on OSX 10.8. I have a fix for this - I'll release a patch as soon as I can.

I've just released a patch for this - version 1.0.1. Download it from the SUbD website (http://evilsoftwareempire.com/subd/download) or from SketchUcation PluginStore. It should be live on Extension Warehouse after the weekend as well.

Works fine thank you.

Nice tool to play with.

Notice how important Creasing sets(based on angle value, see at 7.20) are. Hope Thomthom will deliver them soon.
NB The second part is interesting too
