Destructive Extrude [BETA]

Binke · March 26, 2018, 4:01pm

Hi… now that Carve is gone in Master this plugin does not work anymore there… Any chance to get it to work with Bmesh?

Darcvizer · March 27, 2018, 12:54am

Hi. I pass it under Bmesh when he starts giving a painful score good result.

realeyez · March 27, 2018, 8:49am

Does that mean it’s going to be modified to use Bmesh instead? Love the script!

Darcvizer · March 27, 2018, 10:36am

Yes, with exit 2.8

Im having problem with the mesh extruding. I have made triangular and extruded. And array. When i use the addon and extrude why there is gap between 2 mesh.

Gap between

Darcvizer · March 30, 2018, 8:44am

It’s all true, because you have modifiers. The mesh does not contain information about modifiers, and since there is no direction of the normals of neighboring elements, it extrudes them along the chosen polygon

Hi Darcvizer,

unfortunately the plugin doesn’t work for me anymore.

Traceback (most recent call last):

location: &lt;unknown location&gt;:-1

I hope you can help me further, I would not like to have to do without this ingenious plugin.

HAhahaha :))))))))))

they removed the “CARVE” method and did not fix the BMESH method

Do not use the nightly builds

obsurveyor · March 30, 2018, 11:09am

Have you reported the error? If not, do so and mention specifically that this broke because they removed Carve. They better be a lot more amenable to quicker fixes if they’re going to remove working stuff and replace it with things that are currently broken. (Full disclosure: I’ve always thought removing CARVE from master was a bad idea. It should have stayed until 2.8)

Darcvizer · March 30, 2018, 11:38am

I see no reason to report before the beta. On Boolean operation there are a lot of adon, I think that they should understand that it’s improvements are necessary

stephen_leger · March 30, 2018, 11:52am

On the other hand removing CARVE wich sometines is unstable for 2.8 open the opportunity to get something working far better.
Having 2 libs providing same ability require twice time to maintain and not realy certain worth spend this time on a dead library - near 2 years without any improvement/fix in carve repo.
Take a look at this devtalk tread.

Thanks (at least 10 characters)

Hello
I have a problem with N-gon

Darcvizer · March 31, 2018, 9:28am

it’s 0.9 version?

serviteur · May 14, 2018, 7:25pm

@ Darcviser

Thanks for addon.

GIPeN · May 16, 2018, 6:56pm

Very useful!
I’m having a problem tho, if I directly enter offset manually it reports error. I can do it if I first give direction moving mouse and then replace value in the SAME direction (positive or negative)

Darcvizer · May 17, 2018, 6:33pm

I suspended the development until release 2.8. Unfortunately, I could not cope with the failures of the Bulian.

SPYNeox · May 23, 2018, 8:54pm

I guess that is Logical

jendrzych · November 19, 2018, 4:04pm

Up!
@Darcvizer - do You plan to refurbish Your georgeous script to make it work in Blender 2.8? I’d love to see it happening and I suppose, I’m not alone…

brothermechanic · November 20, 2018, 5:25pm

This addon works with Carve boolean library, i create revert patch to get this library back

with my patched blender-master Destructive Extrude works.
But i dont test with blender-2.8, i think it should work.
