Sketchy Ffd Sketchup Plugin (GENUINE × BREAKDOWN)

: Exclude specific edges from deformation to maintain certain straight lines while curving others.

: Create custom grids (e.g., 5x5x5) for high-detail control over complex shapes like cylinders or spheres. sketchy ffd sketchup plugin

If you need to bend a pipe or curve a wall, use Shape Bender . If you need to pinch, twist, or bulge a volume, use Sketchy FFD . : Exclude specific edges from deformation to maintain

Perhaps the most common use for Sketchy FFD is terrain modeling. If you have a flat plane representing a site plan and need to introduce rolling hills or a precise slope, Sketchy FFD allows you to pull up sections of the lattice to create smooth, natural undulations without the jagged faceting that often occurs when moving lines manually. If you need to pinch, twist, or bulge

: When activated, the plugin creates a specific group in your SketchUp Outliner labeled "FFD control points". Manipulating these guide points triggers the real-time deformation of the target group. Practical Workflow

SketchyFFD integrates this theoretical framework into SketchUp via the Ruby API. The plugin operates by generating a "control cage" or lattice around selected geometry.

: A new group containing only control points (guide points) will appear. Double-click to enter this group.
