Try Tig's Free Rotate for this. It's Sweet!

This is a super cool idea. I can imagine it being really useful when using the eraser to hide or smooth as well as when just erasing.

Wow!

I've wanted something like this since I started using sketchup. it's already amazing and i think your ideas for version four are on the right track to turn it into a very streamlined and intuitive plugin. thanks!

Don't forget to check the manufacturer's website. Sometimes a company will provide models for download and not post it on the wharehouse.

Wow! This is going to be great!

Great update to one of my favorite plugins! Thanks Chris

I've used the original a few times and it's great for simplifying nasty terrain. Thanks for the update on it!

Oh!

I just discovered that the polyline segmentor will divide a line without breaking it apart. That helps!

Thanks for your replies Fellas!
and much props for all the awesome work, but the work flow that you suggest is exactly what i have been doing. unfortunately i have to do it over and over again for a large project and i thought it might be an opportunity to reduce the steps involved. I did look at the 2-d tool set, TIG but your kinda right its cool but not really workable for this particular problem.

Thanks

I've been using TIG's awesome set of extrusion tools for a little while and i love it. I often use it to meld a curved surface into a flat one. It would be great to have a tool that lets you create a straight segmented line. If you could set the number of segments like you can with the arc tool and then draw a straight line you could then use that line in conjuncture with the lofting scripts. I've been drawing a line, dividing it and then welding it back together. This works but is pretty painful when you have to do a lot of this. I have no idea how complicated it would be but i think it might be a powerful addition to this tool set. Thanks!

Wow!!!! this looks amazing! can't wait to try it out

Thanks Rick! repaints a great tool!

Hey

I'd like to say thanks to Rick Wilson for his awesome plugin repaint. I purchased it from smustard recently. The more i use vray the more important it becomes to manage my texture palette and repaint allows me to do that. I have a couple of suggestions on how the interface can be improved upon. Most of all, it would be great to be able to choose several materials to be repainted by one material. this would make it easier to clean up duplicate colors. If you could show a swatch of each color beside the name that would be really useful too. perhaps the work flow could be simplified into one dialog box too. I think that this could be a really great part of the workflow. any takers?

Thanks

this looks great! thanks for your hard work
