Hi.

This is a very useful plugin that I use everyday, however I would like to modify just a little thing that I think might be easy but I don't know how.

When I click the icon in the toolbar to DIVIDE/SPLIT faces, the line created is always a regular line. So far so good.
However if I assign a shortcut to DIVIDE/SPLIT faces, the line created is a construction line -- I have to use CONTROL to change it to a regular line.

Is there a way to change it so that the shortcut command also creates a regular line without need to press CONTROL?

I know it's a nitpick, but maybe it's something easy to change in the code, if you could tell me what line to change.

Thanks in advance

thank you

sorry to bother you again, just one last question:

when I do that, it works almost perfect.. it just doesn't create any faces on the slices...
am I doing something wrong?

I have 'add section faces' on...

hi

I don't get how you do that last cut in the video
How does it snap to slice(or detach) right at half?
When I try to do that it just slices the lines from the viewer perspective (like in the move before that)

thanks

hide all edges on imported highres geometry

I do this with every big model -- soften edges: smooth normals, soften coplanar, and about 40 degree angle
Also disabling "Profiles" in Styles
Helps a lot.

my 2 cents

the question can be asked in reverse also:

why are all those big boy apps not as easy/fast to work as Sketchup?
why aren't they as easy to learn?

I think all apps have their pros and cons, there is no perfect app.
Sketchup has always been a fast/easy modeler, even if that comes with the price of not being able to handle high poly models.

For me, proxies, components and good modeling habbits help a lot to work around those limitations

thats good to know, because my 100+ mb files lag a bit
but I always thought that it was "normal" and that Sketchup was mostly CPU/RAM intensive, so I kept my old GPU

definitely going for that upgrade then, thanks for the reply

Hey guys.

I'm thinking about upgrading my GPU (Nvidia 750ti 2gb) to a Nvidia 1080 8gb.

I use sketchup 2018 with Vray, and have an i7 6700k with 32gb DDR4 and 2 fast SSDs.

So, for sketchup and rendering I dont really need a GPU upgrade, but I want to try Lumion for the animations, and a 750ti won't cut it...

My question is:
Will I notice a viewport improvement in sketchup with that GPU upgrade? And also a will my CPU+GPU rendering times benefit from that?

Or is that upgrade (750ti to 1080) only worth it for other 3D software, like Lumion?

Mesh Maker, that's exactly it!

thanks all the guys for the help, and Sdmitch for creating this plugin

I could do it manually, of course, but this saves me a lot of time

thanks guys, I'll try those plugins

the intersect grid with surface solution would be ideal, but when I do that some faces dont get properly created and then this happens:

strange, right?

thanks, but that's not it...
that plugin creates an actual solid ceiling grid

I need something that only divides the face, with lines
