Ah! Ok, was a stupid question. Apparently I am still dependent on the way 2D programs work usually (select is moving, too). I'll look into how to change the move icon to an arrow, then

Thanks for the heads-up!

Is there a way to combine Select and Move tools into one single tool?

Functionality would be as usual, icon might be Select's. In my opinion, that would increase efficiency.

I have a related copyright issue, if someone can comment on it. Namely, what if:

• I download a model from SU's 3d warehouse
• I curate it, I verify for errors, I verify/put materials
• I prepare materials for a render process

Now, which one of the following scenarios would be safe, in your opinion:
(a) I reupload to my own models portal, no fees whatsoever
(b) I reupload to a separate collection on 3Dwarehouse
(c) I create a SU plugin for accessing from my own server (no from 3d warehouse), no fees whatsoever

Reading the TOS of 3d warehouse, tallbridgeguy's works are clearly legally covered by the derivative work clause.

Hi fellows.
Is there any plugin/method of making a custom library of models (i.e. NOT NECESSARILY a component)? Or even better, is there a way to assemble a custom, local collection of collections of any relevant resource(s): Components, Models, Colours, Materials, all into one customisable interface/panel? Thanks in advance.

plwyood/mdf has warped yet

MDF is very good at NON-warping. But I would not make these elements from MDF, mainly because of its weight, and structural/security concerns. The plywood is also good at not warping, because the layers (the more the better) are fiber-crossed. I mean, for the sizes in the photo, I will use a thick plywood, which in turn may have say 7 or more layers.

Otherwise, these architectural elements can be made from lighter materials (i.e. hard-PVC, or even drywall).

For what it's worth, re-reading this post made me think if this method can be used for making nice ceilings, futuristic shapes out of slices of expanded polystyrene, then filled and painted.

But, anyways, yes, pirate's method is an usual scenario I also usefor making nice shapes - i used once this method to make a (simpler) sink out of hi-macs.

Yes, one can make equally distanced slice boards, and then intersect with model, then choose one of the intersections (top or bottom) for each slice, then reconstruct (push) each face again.

Slicer from TIG automates this, I will test it anyways because seems to give also some nice & creative outputs.

Thanks Jeff!

From the description, seems to be the right tool. I'll install it and keep posted. Thanks alot for the tip!

Hi folks, I searched and did not found yet, a plugin/method to create, from a given surface, individual elements to make the surface "discrete", in slices, like in the attached images. Such a plugin will ease a lot making molds, architectural shapes, from flat CNC-cut shapes. Thanks for helping me find a easier solution.

Sorry n8, lots of people are using it just fine. For the sake of receiving something worth hundreds of hours (= a free useful plugin), at least don't be an *&#%hole. A thankyou must be more appropiate. And some apologies, btw.
