Found another bug, if I click add surface while in edit mode it will give an error while using the mini panel. If I exit to object mode and add surface the mini panel works fine.

You guys are doing great job, keep those improvement coming and thanks for you works

This is a great tool, probably one of the best, but many new people don’t know how to use it. Very powerful. The developer deserves more praise.

erickBlender · October 6, 2019, 8:54pm

I m glad that @cwolf3d is taking care of it, the main dev who made it, abandoned it. it was for awhile orphan now we more improvement.

cwolf3d · October 6, 2019, 10:52pm

Corrected this and previous error. Slightly refactored the script. Need to test.

Xorrito · October 7, 2019, 1:39am

Works great! No errors.

Bug in mini panel with curves. The only way to make it work was to create a mesh beforehand and selecting that as the bmesh target. Pressing initialize creates a BsurfaceMesh but errors when trying to use the mini panel

cwolf3d · October 7, 2019, 11:15pm

Fixed some bugs. Test please.

Xorrito · October 8, 2019, 1:46am

Still broken.

Xorrito · October 13, 2019, 6:55am

Found how to fix that, Just need to enter edit mode right after pressing initialize. If I press add surface right after initializing it will create the bsurface mesh and enter edit mode but it will error out when using the mini panel. So the solution is to enter edit mode automatically right after pressing initialize. This only happens with curves BTW. Thanks for you hard work @cwolf3d .

cwolf3d · October 13, 2019, 1:39pm

Thanks for the work and testing. Corrected the addon.

Hi.
I am getting an error using GPencil workflow, Edit Strokes.

bpy.ops.gpencil.paintmode_toggle()
Traceback (most recent call last):

Can you reproduce the problem or do you need more information?

Found a new bug, worked fine on 1.6.5 version

also I can confirm Yafu’s report

cwolf3d · October 13, 2019, 8:51pm

Fixed edit strokes and crosshatch.

YAFU · October 13, 2019, 9:32pm

Thank you. Now there is no error message when I press the “Edit Strokes” button, but it does not enter to Edit Mode (it remains in Draw mode)

Also getting an error message when Add Surface in GPencil workflow:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Edit Strokes simply switches to drawing mode.
And for the conversion of strokes into curves and their subsequent editing added a button “Strokes to curves”. I think this is more logical.

I can not reproduce the error. Need a video.

P.S. In the addon, there are a lot of switching from editing mode to object mode and vice versa because of this, these errors appear. We need to test everything.

YAFU · October 13, 2019, 10:00pm

Oh, my misunderstanding maybe.
As you know, BSurfaces could be used to model, among other things as shown in well-known promotional BSurfaces video. Some time ago I made a very simple video to show where to find components of Grease Pencil and BSurfaces in 2.79 (There Edit Strokes entered Edit mode for Grease Pencil strokes):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHy6nDvyO_E

I have been able to use your BSurfaces addon for 2.8 to do the same manually (previous version of the addon before the last one you published), and in fact I have found it easier and more intuitive than for 2.79:

That’s why I thought Edit Strokes entered Edit mode. Perhaps we could improvise the workflow for modeling with BSurfaces addon if someone else thinks that this is useful?

Edit:
(The promotional Bsurfaces 1.5 video has apparently been removed from Vimeo )

cwolf3d · October 14, 2019, 8:47am

Added edit strokes mode - button: ‘Edit strokes’

YAFU · October 14, 2019, 11:10am

Great!
Following the steps I have shown in the video above, I now get the following error when I press Add Surface in Object mode:
