Great!
Also is an edge direction procedural out of the question? It can make the edge flow turn through 45 degrees. Then you could achieve a really funky cage!
See this 3DSMax video at 4:40 to see what I mean.
Thanks I'll be frequenting the QFT issue tracker 
OK let's use Rich's model as example. Picture says a thousands words n all that....
This would allow you to create "cages" for 3D printing etc. Hollowed out skeletons.
I want to offset every single quad like this with one click:
And then JPP or other....
I think you can only offset one face at a time with TOS? And multi face offset is coplanar faces only.
I want to offset the lines from SubD....then you can JPP rails to form a complex shell that follows the SUbD topology.
PMSL!
what lightbulb it's just a molten blob of glass?!
On a serious note (if there is such a thing)....is there a multi-face offset for curved surfaces?
So like Tools On Surface offset that you can apply to several faces at once?
Nice to see a clear system of feedback and real progression here! Keep it up!

Cheers, Oli, I'm just getting my beginner bits in before you break the mold.
lol don't know about that mate! great stuff! By break the mold I think you mean post some weird surrealist crap that doesn't really help anyone.
that speaker-bowl thingy is extremely well modelled well done box
Hey Djeeno. Thanks for the comment.
I think you need Blender for what you are talking about. Or even parametric modelling.
Sketchup isn't the best for this sort of modelling.....that's why we have to use several plugins. It's a pain but you can make some funky looking objects.
TPD regulations come into force in the EU this year. This WILL mean:
**-The maximum size of refill containers of nicotine containing liquid is 10ml.
-Maximum size of cartridges or tanks do no exceed 2ml.
-Maximum nicotine strength of e-liquid is 20mg
-Electronic cigarettes must provide a consistent dose of nicotine.
-E-cigs and refill containers must have a mechanism to ensure leak free refilling.**
Vaping is literally going to die in the UK and EU!
Basically we'll only be able to buy cartridges for e liquid as there is no other way to have "leak-free" design. It will probably cost the same as smoking. So cig-a-like vape pens are the only products that will be available. These are the least effective vaping devices.
Tobacco companies have already released their own e-cigs which funnily enough conform to the TPD regulations before they were even announced. You would almost think that the tobacco companies wrote these rules.
My advice to Europeans is to start making your own e liquid....otherwise you'll just be spending a huge amount on cartridges.
Chinese suppliers have already said they're just gonna write "not for use with tobacco products" on the vape tanks to bypass the legislation.
Basically if you don't vape nicotine in it, they can't ban it. They can't ban a tank that says "do not use with nicotine" on the packaging. Whether you put nicotine in your liquid or not is up to you.
Chinese companies are also selling mods as "rechargeable torches". Instead of an atomiser they are just screwing an LED in. When your "torch" arrives in the post you can screw your own tank in. 
How they can completely ban small metal tanks entering the EU is beyond me.
Tens of thousands signed petitions but nobody listened. I can't understand how this can be so heavily regulated yet they still sell cigarettes with a 50% death rate.
Watch out USA, you're next.

What is your nic mg. in your regular vape?
And how many mls? do you get thru a day? (I'm doing about 4/5 mls pd).
Great work Baz keep off the stinkies!
I vape 3mg now. It depends on the device of course. I started on 18mg 3 years ago.
If you are using a subohm setup you need significantly less nicotine because you get loads more vapour. Most people are happy at 3 or 6mg in a subohm tank and 6-12mg for a plus ohm tank (resistance over 1 Ohm). There is no right or wrong answer, just vape whatever prevents you from smoking.
I vape 10ml a day, sometimes more sometimes less.
Great stuff people! We knew you'd come to the dark side Rich, was only a matter of time. Keep it up pal.
Ive been mixing some great flavours from EXTRADIY Paris, they taste really natural I'd highly recommend. http://www.deevape.fr
Here is my Provari Radius with Subtank Mini. I love Provape stuff!
I tried to go back to "plus ohm" devices but love subohm now, you just need to change the liquid ratios to suit the tank.
great stuff, a collection of them would look great on the mantlepiece! 
nice cotty loving this thread....I'll get involved soon
