          @turbodizayn Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear both modes are useful – they'll both be in the final release, which is coming very soon.

          By the way, I have a quick question: can you guys see the demo GIF in my post? I uploaded it, but for some reason I can't see it on my end. Not sure if it's just me or if there's an issue with the upload. Let me know if you can see it – thanks!

            There's no embedded images. Maybe you uploaded too many and too large in size GIFs.

                        @Jianming-Mo Interesting idea. I like that you’ve separated the topology-based and general geometry workflows instead of trying to make one mode handle everything.

                        For architectural users, I can see the geometry mode being especially useful when working with imported or imperfect models. I’d be interested to see how it handles heavier geometry and undo/recovery when a loop can’t be completed cleanly.

                          Very cool. Very similar to the Reshape tools in FormZ. Good job

                            @immaxy The plugin is still in the testing phase. I’ve tested it on simple and common models, and it works fine. For native SketchUp files, most models are not that heavy. I also think the geometry mode is quite practical. It can split non‑quad faces into standard quad faces. Thanks for your positive feedback. I will test its performance on complex geometry as well. Once the official release is ready, I hope more people can try it out and give me suggestions

                              @Glenn-at-home Thank you for your recognition. I will keep working on it.

                                Looks really nice. Does it respect Quadface quad convention?

                                  Is this quad‑face based? Is this considered complex geometry?

                                      @Rich-O-Brien In a few days I'll publish the plugin on Sketchucation. I'm currently adding a point positioning function to LoopCut, allowing users to input VCB values to set exact positions for loop cuts, which I consider essential.
