Any chance to "fix" this so that it works in 2018+

The drop-down list has the option to select values that don't work, due to a text-issue?

("10
20
30
40
50
60
70
80
90")

10 and 90 don't work, but they are "doing something", which can be undone. However, if you don't "undo", it can break the model.

Seems like it is just a simple format issue for the list. (Apparently reading the value from the list, instead of reading the values from an INDEX of a LIST. So, the odd text in the first and last values sort-of break the script.)

Personally... I would like to see a slider with 1%, 2% or 5% increments. Maybe also an option to just do a triangulation first, as 0%... Something that would yield some "corrective action", before reducing polygons, if needed. (I don't always agree with the way it triangulates some surfaces, as it doesn't favor neat reductions. Being able to see the way it is going to divide it, before reducing it, allows for some manual triangulation of those potential troubled parts.)

Another option would be to subdivide first... (Creating a smoother potential which to begin a more accurate reduction that may retain those micro-details more, without harming large flat surfaces as much.)

Hi guys. I have another question regarding radial bend. As you can see from the image all of the lines denoting brickwork haven't bended as I was expecting. I'm not sure why. Is it a parameter problem or maybe something to do with the model? Its probably something really easy I'm missing

You need to split the horizontal lines into segments. The same would happen if you used a circle with only eight segments, it would transform into a funky shape, because the lines connect to the points, and only the points are relocated. (Eg, it will not curve a solid line, it just deforms the locations of the end-points.)

Thus, your windows where they are on the roof-line, that has three segments. The points are relocated, on a curve, and you get a three-segment curve. However, your horizontal lines for the "siding", only have two points, per line. So, the line just connects from point to point, left and right, with no curve on the line, to match the line where the window has broken the line into three segments. Just as you would add more segments to a circle to hide the fact that it is actually just a bunch of lines and angles, to create the illusion of a "curve".

Resolutions...

1: Break the line into a three-segment line, by adding a line with points aligned under the window, where the window points intersect that horizontal line of the roof.

2: For more realism, because that is a rather large curve, you should segment each line into 4-8 segments per line. That way, you will have full curves, retaining the "image/concept", of the original.

This is the reason that SketchUp has no deform tools. When done on simple lines, without adding more segments, you get undesired results. Just as when you attempt three-point perspective, by lowering the camera near the ground and looking up. It always "looks funny", because the building edges are all perfect lines from corner to corner, instead of having a "true curve", as a camera or your eyes see. That is why 3D rendered things, look like 3D rendered things, instead of looking like reality, unless you use post-work deforms or complex multi-segment lines. (As objects such as people have, but buildings normally do not. Adding to the oddity of displaying 3D objects.)
