Hello Ray, I decided to copy my answer in this thread as well. Here is LSS Arch Lite thread where I posted basically the same reply. I agree about problems with UI in LSS Zone (lack of direction lock using Shift key while drawing and editing for example etc). I added recently a "Zone" tool to a full version of LSS Arch. It basically uses the same logic for zone object as free LSS Zone extension, but utilizes UI logic of LSS Arch (so zone tool behaves basically the same way as other LSS Arch tools, direction lock is available etc). I tested how zone tool works in LSS Arch during a project, which I'm currently involved in at work, and I'm mostly happy with results (I revealed a couple of minor problems in zone tool inside LSS Arch though so fixing is in progress right now and nearest minor update of LSS Arch will contain those fixes). So now I have an idea to publish new commercial LSS Zone Pro extension, which would utilize UI logic of LSS Arch and drop support of a free LSS Zone extension, because I'm afraid I have no ability to continue developing of freeware projects (at least at the moment). Such new extension can be used in combination with LSS Arch Lite (such combination would provide ability to trace quickly closed spaces bounded by walls). I hope this plan will come true someday. Sincerely, Kirill

I guess the plugin should be working with SU 8. The toolbar opens with errors in all tools: "No definition "callRuby"", "No definition "get_settings"", "No definition "obtain_defaults"" They don't let me continue working with this plugin, regardless I answer YES or NO. Unfortunately, Ruby console is empty. I have rather put the files into correct folders. [image: u0pK_Beztytuu.png]

Take a look to TGI3D Amorph (free) or use an old version of Sketchup! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dodRTudzEJw

Hey guys, The tool looks very interesting in the video, but I'm afraid the link to the plugin isn't working. Can anyone share? Best, Raf.

OMG It's exactly what I need.. Thanks

@kirill2008 said: @pbacot said: Thankyou! How does one learn to use the tool (LSS toolbar)? I am just guessing and clicking and getting no results so far. Also the text fields are solid black. I plan to make manuals after functionality update completion: there are 2 more tools are to be added in 'LSS Toolbar' and after their addition I'll start testing and documenting this plugin. The reason, that 'LSS Toolbar' does not work on mac is that settings-dialog forms are not adapted yet for displaying by 'Safari' (default macOS browser, which SU uses to display web-dialog forms). I use pc at work and at home, so it'll be a bit tricky for me personally to make these dialog-forms work on mac too, but I'll try to do it anyway. I see. Thanks for the reply. I also found the black input fields is a problem on the Mac end that users need to sort out for themselves. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=45382&hilit=black+dialog But it's very impressive work!

First of all I have to agree that the plugin is poorly documented, far from intuitive and obsolete after all... I just have to say that initially my intentions were purely good. I wanted to make a tool that may help to model something more complicated than just a basic geometry. It was not intended to make anyone mad or frustrated. Vojo, please accept my apologies for having failed to meet expectations. @vojo said: I.e. since power not documented, a user may try 1.0 thinking he gets a 1:1 movement (or at least see that the movement is some linear relationship between the control points... Speaking specifically about the term "power" I must say I really was not aware about the fact it might be misinterpreted such a way. "Power" means literally "power" here in a mathematical sense (not a linear coefficient or a factor). Actually I gave some more or less explicit explanations here in this thread about how it all works earlier (about three years ago): @kirill2008 said: The second method calculates offset vectors lengths of each vertex according to distances from it to all control points. The degree of influence of each control c-point depends on <1/(distance^power)>. Power is an adjustable value. You may check the original comment here: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=22709&start=60#p218438 In other words algorithm utilizes a type of deterministic method for multivariate interpolation with a known scattered set of points which is known as "inverse distance weighting" (IDW): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_distance_weighting Plugin interpolates offset value (support of rotation and scale transformations were also added later). Anyway I highly recommend to stop discussion at this point, because discussion of an obsolete plugin is a kind of pointless to my mind. Everyone else who was confused please also accept my apologies for not informing about the fact that this plugin has become obsolete at a time.

looks and sounds good. been waiting for the new LSS Toolbar. thank you kirill.

Did you read the author's first post in this thread? He says this plugin is obsolete.

I decided to make 'pnts2mesh.rb' a part of 'LSS Toolbar'. This project is still under construction, but here you can take a look at how modernized version of 'pnts2mesh.rb' will finally work (skip to 5:30 for 'pnts2mesh.rb' revival demonstration). [flash=560,315:rgpkvorn]http://www.youtube.com/v/8nbMaKKNkm8?version=3&amp;hl=ru_RU[/flash:rgpkvorn] For now 'pre-alpha' version of 'LSS Toolbar' is available. Unfortunately it won't work on mac again... I need to find out how to adapt web-dialogs for 'Safari'. It'll take some time... lss_toolbar_2_0_pre_alpha_5.zip

@mitcorb said: That is what is so good about this forum. I agreee. This forum keeps very friendly atmosphere as well and it's great and positive.
