This is really cool. I'm thinking that it was probably done manually and took a good amount of work. They could of used the Key-frame animation tool from regular polygon or something similar. http://regularpolygon.blogspot.com/p/download.html

Looking good! Definitely works better, will update the review.

Welcome! Another great and simple plugin.

It works really well, though I have a note on the Exponent value. There is no known scale for the exponent input that I could tell. As of now its pretty much a shot in the dark as to how square the superellipse will come out. Perhaps having a scale of 1-100 (100 being a perfect square) the plugin would be more manageable?

Good job!

This is definitely a useful plugin. But I noticed that if you already have textures applied to a face and then reverse the faces, the plugin reverses the texture as well. I realize that reversing the faces is the whole point of the plugin but is there a way to ignore it if a texture is present or move the texture to the new side (so it stays in the same location)?

Thanks for your hard work!

Looking forward to this one! Looks like it is much easier to use than the Soap Skin and Extrude Edges set.

Great plugin! I have been l;ooking for something like this

At first it was tough to use but I got used to it. I made a little instructional animation enjoy..

Great Plugin! This is so helpful in creating skylights and greenhouses
A couple of suggestions for future a version. Try to create a button and maybe some more color options for the lattice, even a way to select custom colors/materials. And when creating the pane if it would be possible to add an option for pane thickness.
Regardless a great plugin! Check out my review for the Lattice Maker: http://sketchuppluginreviews.com/2010/05/17/lattice-maker-google-sketchup-plugin-review/

A Toolbar is on the list - as the script's note say - please be patient...

The material options were deliberately 'limited'. My Lattice-izer tool attracted some criticism because the Material list could grow too long and go 'off-screen' if you had loads of Materials loaded into the Model - in these new tools I deliberately limited the materials to just a few. When the group is made IF you have given the frames and panes different Materials then it is little effort to edit the new lattice-group, select a face that's a pane [or a frame] and then right-click to context-menu, Select > 'With same material'... then use the Material Browser > Paint-bucket to apply ANY material you want - either in the Model or a-not-yet-used-external-material globally to those now selected faces. So you can quickly modify any lattice-group's panes and/or frames to ANY material desired - either already-loaded or 'outside' of the Model !

Why do you want 'pane-thickness' ? SUp is "design a modelling tool" - not a full-blown 3D-modeller - adding extra pane-faces just a few mm apart will not normally improve your model but load it with lots of extra [unneeded] geometry ?? If you really, really need then you can always use PushPull on the created pane-faces ??

Point taken, I did not notice the toolbar note on the script. But I did figure it would come eventually Having the option to create the thickness of the pane is just a thought that may be beneficial in certain instances, but I do understand your point on limiting the geometry. And thanks for the tip on creating the custom materials for the lattice.

Again this is a great plugin and thank you for your work!

Great Plugin! I'm in the process of reviewing it for my site. But I keep running into an issue, whenever I select my settings and then click the "Fur" button it creates the fur on the wrong side of the face. Always facing down. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks for your efforts!
