Hello Thomas, Perhaps has it been asked before, but is there a way to tweak the bydefault colors for the analysis tool? Not that I don't understand your wise choice of colors, but I'd prefer more contrasted colors like white-red... And I agree, it's a pity one can't replace a default sketchUp view mode (like monochrome or x-ray that I don't use often) with this analyse view mode, to keep the textures/UVW mapping. Otherwise, good job!

No color options as of yet. But it's something I wanted to add. The current version was a quick and dirty tool - turns out to be more useful than expected.

I've just discovered the UV Mapping Tool in this plugin and it's so incredible useful. Not finding it earlier is definitely a Doh Moment for me. I'm a quad fan now!

I really don't know how to convert the mesh, to let the texturing tool work.
anybody has got an idea?

Thomthom, any chance of adding a selection option where you can step the ring/loop selected? So, instead of adding or subtracting, each click moves the selection one loop over and deselects the one you are on.
Edit: I'll just add this gif to help explain what I mean,I have a workaround but it would be helpful to have.

Can you share this obj file please? (You can PM me if you don't want to share the file publicly)

That's a good idea. Logged it in the issue tracker: https://bitbucket.org/thomthom/quadface ... shift-loop

No. ...not yet that is... I just set up a Crowdin project for this extension.  But give me some time to localise SUbD and move to my new home.

No problem it's just for the use of Crowdin who seems curious with the Save of new translation!

Offset Loop is still a work in progress.
It was a experimental feature Thom added a few versions ago.
Sometimes it works ok other times it fails. Always send crash reports when it fails.
There's a frontroom and a backroom....reverse faces

I've recently started learning to do quad modelling in other apps but these tools are great for doing stuff in sketchup! However there's a couple of tools I feel are missing which would be great to roundout QuadFaceTools: 1. Offset with edges. Basically just an offset tool but that builds all the connecting lines so you don't have to draw them in manually to preserve the quad topology, which is a drag. I tried looking at all offset plugins but none seems to do this relatively simple thing: Screen Shot 2017-09-11 at 15.48.59 PM.png Above offset with edges; below regular offset. (I'm not sure how the intersections would be though, but at least for simple offsets it would be easy) 2. Quadify N-gon. Basically automatically divide any convex polygon into quads, being able to preview and choose division type before finalizing. Screen Shot 2017-09-11 at 16.11.08 PM.png 1st row is edge splitting but works with any N-gon, i suppose it would be nice to also make the extra loops. 2nd row is central but only works with N-gons divisible by two above N = 6 3rd row is grid splitting which is the best solution for large N values to avoid nasty poles. 4 and 5 provide other alternatives... If these things could be added that would be awesome! Or if other plugins I don't know about already do this that would be nice too...

I hope that this is the best place for this question.
What is the relationship, if any, between 'vertexTools', 'subD', and quadFaceTools?
Are they independent or is one or more required for the other(s) to function?
Thank you

They are independent tools that work together. None are needed for others to work but they are authored by the same magician and therefore help you to pull a rabbit out of your hat or a hare out of your ....

SUbD do work best with quad topology - and for that you would be better of using QFT to author the mesh.

Sorry man - I haven't visited this thread for a while. Do you still have this issue? What version of QFT and TT_Lib do you have installed?

Awesome. I did find TIG's tools a few days after I made that post, and it sure does the job but too many clicks breaks the sketchup flow: need to do the offset, escape the tool, pick the face and then another command... getting it done with just one command would be glorious since I offset a lot. An additional efficiency I thought of was if the tool ended with the new offset ring selected so it's ready to manipulate, because after using TIG's tool curves get destroyed and you need to pick the edges and select loop which adds even more commands...
