        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.

                I’m back! After days of development, LoopCut’s VCB value input is finished. Let me show you how it works:
                Basic function: cut non-quad faces into clean quad faces with value input support. Double-click any spot on an edge to add a center cut line.bandicam 2026-08-23 12-10-01-375.gif
                Use percentages for positioning – enter 20, 30, 70 for 20%, 30%, 70% of the edge length (50 = center). Mouse dragging is also supported for visual positioning.bandicam 2026-08-23 12-11-35-622.gif
                For exact measurements, type values with units in the VCB. The edge under your mouse becomes the starting point: 0–49 references one end, 51–100 the other. Hover to pick your start edge, then type 1m or 200mm to get a precise cut.bandicam 2026-08-23 12-15-32-252.gif
                How do you like this VCB implementation?

                    [SHANA]bandicam 2026-08-28 23-41-25-934.gif SketchUp terrain meshes are now supported. For unknown reasons, lines generated when selecting different mesh points are sometimes incomplete. Anyone know the cause?

                      Long time no see!

                      LOOPCUT development update:
                      QuadFace meshes are not supported at this time. I plan to look into adding support in a future release.

                      Two new features have been added:

                      1. Bulk insert loop edges: Use X + number shortcut
                      2. Cut and Separate: Hold the ALT key while operating
