Now I can post a "result".
Everything you said works, I tried all plugins. Feels like holding a weapon now

My "tower" was a very fast created model - just to see, that I've understood..

THANKS AGAIN!

Wow!

ok, thank you guys
Will need some time to figure out!

For me it looks like if between the points there is only the hidden construction lines and not the complete cylinder cut in pieces. I think the object will behave different in further manipulations. And then if I have a more complicated surface with not enough vertex for good results with the vertex tool, I would like to push a button and add automatically more hidden geometry...

Hi, cotty,

thanks for your reply.
That looks to me like a workaround, it's not exactly like in the video I saw, because in the screencast its no more one object...
Have a look here at 2:00min...

Hi there!

I'm Josh and a new SU-user.
I've spend almost one week now, to find all the plugins I need for my projects and Vertex Tools works very fine for me.
Now my perhaps stupid question:

Watching the tutorial video on youtube for the vertex tool you first see a flat mesh - I think its created with the onboard sandbox tool.
But the next thing is an extruded circle, like a tower. And it has all those control points on its surface!
How do I get that???

Thanks for your replies - I'm almost getting crazy...
