Mesh_tools (curved surfaces mesh modification tool,C++)

Thank you for this great addon :slight_smile:

Edit:
I only noticed the strange behaviour of one of the operators, a problem with the text coding standard, maybe? gif below:

@imdjs 2.8 is almost here, but it missing your awesome addon :wink:

2.8 pls 才开始从max转blender,希望更新啊。

sorry for waiting,I will update meshtool to 2.8 very soon, the reason I delay for 2.8,is I am developing more powful features on it , like: bezier curve to control the selected edge, 4 bezier curves control a surface shape by selecting 4 edges,fully graphical interface.

Hello! Thank you for your work!
What the difference between free and paid versions?
In 2.79 i mostly use raidian from W menu. It is quick and easy
Bit in the new version it behaves differently, when you push it you have a prompt with settings, then it drops you out from edit mode, then you need to tweak it by hand and then it drops you back.
Is it possible to return old behavior from 2.79?
And free version seems broken or im doing something wrong

PS if you are oldschool guy you cant see info

the new version is different from old version,
firstly if you select one edges that is straight line ,it can’t construct a radian ,you need to select at least two edges,(if the selected edges line has angle, than you can only select one edges line to construct a radian , but no curve surface, only more than one edges line can construct a curve surface)
like this :
curve4

the paid version add the Curve mode supported.

first of all, a great addon! I bought it yesterday and already had a lot of fun with it, thank you.

I have a question about this .gif from you. It looks like you’re using a smoothing brush in edit mode at the beginning - is this an addon?

@cyso thank you
the brush is not an addon ,I just use the scupt brush to make a random shape.

How do I move the point of the curve after making the Arch?
I cannot seem to move it at all, only right click to cancel?

there is no function to move the whole curve , I don’t think it’s necessary ,but you can modify the radian of arch by dragging the handle in the viewport.
but if you only select one straight line than you can’t make a arch. you need to select at least two lines to make a curve surface.

Hi,
I bought your addon “just” to make this shape thanks for that!
It will be possible to constrain on a global axe while moving the cuve helper ?
say blue Z axe instead of the custom one

hi.
thank for your suggestion , I will add an option of global axis constrain in the next version.

I see. I used another addon that was similar / had you drag the dot to change the arc. Is why I thought I could. Also worked on 1 line. But I’ll try what you said to see how it works. Thanks !
