Try to copy iconv.so(in plugins\sutool\ro) to plugins folder...

The problem is still the missing "inconv.dll". Someone has the same problem?? Perhaps it´s only me.

Daniel S

Yes.. i have the SuTool folder and the SUTool.rbs in the SketchUp´s Plugins

I try to install but when i restart SketchUp a pop-up window says that can´t find "inconv.dll". Reinstalling SketchUp can solve the problem.

Hi Chris!!!

Great Script!!! I wonder what happens in very simple models like a cube... Subdivides the faces? or not working in this cases?

Daniel S
PS. I attach a image.. the result of moving three control points on a cube will give a result like this?

Just an idea that perhaps someone wants to make it possible...

Daniel S

Yes, of course it´s OK ...
Hope that SketchUp 7 have modelling tools like this ones.

Daniel S

Great update...Thanks.
It´s much better to see interactively the deformation.
The icons for this and the JJP toolbar are 32x32. I think SketchUp uses 24x24.
I have made this icons for me and perhaps somebody like them, so i post it here.

icons.zip

I still can´t believe this! It works great with high poly models and makes brillants results. Incredible to make this inside SketchUp.
1655 faces in 160 seconds

Thank you Fredo!!

I didn´t know that this can be done with ruby.

Give thickness to surfaces it´s a feature that I was hoping for Sketchup 7. I tried this plugin with a lot of different surfaces and works fantastic.

Thank you again!!

Daniel S

Edit:PS. Yes.. like bellwells says... there are hidden edges.. in a lot of cases don´t looks good... would be better to use "soften edges"
Offtopic: Have you tried to make a bevel/round edges tool?

Awesome!!!
The updated PlaneShear.zip works fine now...
Thank You!!!

Daniel S

Hi Fredo!!
Your plugin is really interesting!!
The only problem is that every time i make a shear... the new object appears with hidden lines..

This plugin can be converted into a Lattice tool?

It´s fantastic what you can do with this new SketchyPhysics...
I post some video examples here:

I see it too and looks great...
There are 4 videos showing how works:

It´s like having pepakura inside SketchUp.
It´s a unfold tool.
Daniel S

Using ContourMaker.rb (TIG) and protrude.rb you can get great results.
It will be fantastic if countourmaker could make random contours and select the orientation of the countours (x-y-z, like slicer.rb) so you don´t have to rotate the model.
Here i put how i make subdivision to protrude with ContourMaker.rb.

Wow! that was incredible fast Jim! Thank you!
I wonder if it can start the first level from a not regular subdivision surface?

Daniel S

Is it possible to make greeble script compatible with Sketchup?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greeble
Is an interesting feature that is available on a lot of 3d programs as a plugin.
I attach an example imported into sketchup.

Daniel S

Thank you TIG!!
It works great!... this will save me a lot of time.
And a question... because this i can´t done with sketchup.. i put an example on the attachment... is it possible with ruby?
Thank you again!
