[Plugin] QuadFaceToolsRe: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.4.1b) — 09 October 2011Hi,
I made another attempt with my Viking ship hull. This tool is really amazing. A small error I could not resolve. He who makes no mistakes, makes nothing
Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.4.1b) — 09 October 2011huh! ... peculiar... I'll look into it.

How did you map it? With the UV Mapping tool, or with the UV Copy & Paste tools? Thomas Thomassen — SketchUp Monkey & Coding addict

Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.4.1b) — 09 October 2011I found the cause - you got some messed up geometry there.
Look at this screenshot: Here I made a left to right selection over the selected quad. Notice the Entity Info correctly displaying 7 entities. ( 2 triangles, 5 edges ) Now look at this one - where I made the same selection around the troublesome area: Notice there is 20 (!) entities. Something is messed up in your geometry there.

Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.4.1b) — 09 October 2011Zoom in to the top left corner of that white and see a whole lot of extra edges and faces

Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011Hi Thomas,
I did it with the UV Copy & Paste tools. He who makes no mistakes, makes nothing
Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011Hi,
I found the error. As Gaieus said, in the enlargement can be seen some additional faces. This I have now adjusted. He who makes no mistakes, makes nothing
Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011Hi Thomas,
I'm still have a few problems with copy and paste UVs. It is probably a mistake from me again. Would you again take a look at it. Charly He who makes no mistakes, makes nothing
Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011It's still some non-quads over at that end.

Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011Hi Thomas,
I thank you for your efforts. I'm sometimes a bit hasty with my questions. In the future I will take a closer look before I ask a question. Charly He who makes no mistakes, makes nothing
Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011Hi Thomas,
Once it has worked with the hull I need help again. I do not succeed, to bring the texture on these relatively simple geometry. As far as I can judge it must be all quad faces in the model. Yesterday I spent two hours trying to find the error in the geometry, without success. Thanks in advance. Charly He who makes no mistakes, makes nothing
Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011Thank you ThomThom for this wonderful plugin. It helps me a lot with my curtains...
Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011
Are you using the Copy and Paste function? Or the UV map function? Thomas Thomassen — SketchUp Monkey & Coding addict

I've just tried it again and it worked. I do not know what mistake I made. Last edited by charly2008 on Sun Oct 16, 2011 1:40 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011Wow!
Eleven pages and counting. Good work ThomThom I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.
Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011Not yet perfect but a step in the right direction with the help of the Quad Face tool from Thomas.

Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011Really glad to see some if the stuff this plugin is being used for.

Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011Problem! when i copy all files to sketchup 8 plugin directory, and open sketchup, I get this error.. I'm doing something wrong?
Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011In the first post, there is a reference to another plugin (library) that you also need to install for this one to work. Please, make sure TT_Lib (linked from the first post) is also installed.
Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011![]() ![]() just watched your last three videos... the new functions look fantastic!!! unbelievable to see this as a ruby in sketchup!!! thank you very much! i'll try it... ![]() Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011Nice set of tools,
Bit I can´t change the number of segments for the connect edges tool :S Can you help me? Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011
Type in the number of segments, the VCB will update as you type. Then hit Enter to apply. The on screen UI doesn't update as you type. it's just there so you can choose to adjust either number of segments or pinch. Thomas Thomassen — SketchUp Monkey & Coding addict

Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011A while ago we debated how best to deal with the odd triangular facets needed to complete a manifold surface that is otherwise 'quads'.
Lying in bed this morning I realized that the Art-Deco inverted hemisphere leaded-glass lampshade above my head was made entirely out of quads ![]() Here's how [applied to an entire sphere]... There are two solutions, depending on the quads' hidden/soft/smooth edges - the right-hand one with lines of latitude hidden/soft/smooth is the 'most even' type... This is of course with lines of latitude equally spaced which distorts the quads nearer the 'poles' - if they are adjusted the quads get nearer to 'squares'... The 'flower' at the poles can never approximate a square no matter how small you make it as the angle if subtends at the pole is fixed by the number of segments the lines of latitude have - the more segments the less square the 'petals'... TIG
Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011Bug Alert
I just discovered an issue where the Hidden property of triangulated quads might get lost when you copy / import a quad face mesh into a model with existing scenes. In some cases the mesh can be recovered by using the Sandbox To Quads and then updating the scenes - but there is a potential for losing the Quad definition of the mesh. Issue logged at: https://bitbucket.org/thomthom/quadface ... activating Will find a solution to this. Might end up reverting back to the old way of defining Quads. Sorry for the inconvenience this might cause. Thomas Thomassen — SketchUp Monkey & Coding addict

Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011this plug-in deserves three thumbs up.
Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011Amazing plugin!
Though, on various occasions it does this: the corners always get messed up no matter how perfectly I make them. Not sure if this is a bug or just me being dumb, help appreciated though~ Re: [Plugin] QuadFaceTools (0.5.0b) — 13 October 2011I'm suspecting it's the shape of the quads in the corners that makes the UV mapping distort in such a manner. I'm guessing it's native quads - so I'd try to triangulate them (using the Triangulate method in QuadFace Tools.)
Can you share a sample model? Thomas Thomassen — SketchUp Monkey & Coding addict

Tried triangulating with said option, no luck. Here's the model part. |
