There are to ways to merge

There are to ways to merge vertices in VT.

One is "Merge Vertices" and collapses all selected vertices into a single point.

The other is "Merge Close Vertices" and merges vertices that are close to each other within toleranse for which you are prompted: http://evilsoftwareempire.com/vertex-tools/manual/tools#merge_close_vert...

Hi Alex, this originated from limitations in the SketchUp API. However, I think it's now possible to achieve. I've logged an issue to look into this. Thanks for bringing it up.

it is not showing up in skp!

it is not showing up in skp! doees it have any shortcut key??

Hi
What version of Vertex Tools?
What version of SketchUp?
If SU2017, do you see it listed in the Extension Manager?
If older SU version, do you see it listed under Preferences > Extensions?
Do you not see any menu under the Tools menu?
Any loading errors?

Hello,

Hello,

I have downloaded and installed the extension, sketchup pro 2015 keeps on crashing anytime I try to select and move multiple vertices. I'm on macOs Sierra 10.12. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

PS : There is also this apparently "unsolvable" problem of tiny tiny UI on retina display but I guess If the plugin worked I would try to tolerate the super tiny UI...

Hi

When you say crashing, does SketchUp exit? Or do you mean the error dialog showing up (the one saying "oops"?) If the latter, did you submit the error report? (By the way, it maybe be easier to follow up on this via the help portal: http://evilsoftwareempire.com/vertex-tools/help)

As for the tiny UI issue, that stems from that VT was made a long time ago before high DPI monitors were that common. SketchUp is only now starting to get some support for that in the API. I'm working on updating the extension - including high DPI support.

Hi !

Yes, When I say crashing, Sketchup quits. Didn't submit the error report just yet, but will do!

Can you make sure to mention

Can you make sure to mention Vertex Tools in the description. And let me know - please open a support ticket using this form: http://evilsoftwareempire.com/vertex-tools/help

Hi ThomThom,

Thank you for your quick reaction.

I am not sure what you mean with the term: open a group of component?

Know only: explode with menu-button and double click with left mouse. Is there more?

However, you will win the golden award from all SU users over the whole world.

Moving an object in the right direction is the most frustating handling in our SU-life.

Crazy, crazy, crazy stuff..

Can you give me a sign when you are ready? Or as try-out.

Of course in combination with the magnetic system to click and move to the right points.

Maybe nice present already for Christmast time :)

Hello,

Vertex tools looks great. I am now working with a try-out.

But the strange thing it's look like to work only with exploded groups.

Why that? Gizprom would be great for moving and placing elements, groupes and copies.

Normal Mover using from SU is really a bad crime against human nature!

think the evil software could be beat that!

Hi Willem

Hi Willem
It doesn't have to be exploded, you can open a group or component - and Vertex Tools will work on that.

I have however been playing with the idea of making the gizmo stand-alone - so that it work on any selection and entity in SketchUp.

Can I create a vertex on a

Can I create a vertex on a vertical surface at a specific elevation? I am interested in being able to manipulate the vertex to specific locations.

Hi.

Hi.
You cannot create single vertices - they need to be part of an edge or face. SketchUp doesn't allow otherwise.

If you need to move vertices to a specific position, you can even use the native Move tool for this: https://help.sketchup.com/en/article/3000090 Look at point 6 that describe how to enter relative or absolute coordinates.

Help me Thom! The plugin Vertex tool doesn't work, I purchased it an hour ago and I'm going crazy to making it work. Nothing. I've already posted a reply on Sketchucation but it has to be approved.
I load the plugin by Sketchucation plugin installer but nothing happens. When I restart SU, it aappears on screen an error message!
I have windows 8, SU 2015

Hi Andrea

Can you post the error message using the support form?

Hi

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question but any help would be appreciated.

I have bought the Vertex plugin for one of our users but I can't see where to enter the activation key. The user is currently using the trial version.

Thanks

Francis

Hi Francis

Sorted

Thank you for your help and for pointing me in the right direction if I've any further issues Thomas.

Regards

Francis

hey tom tom,

hey tom tom,

thanks for you awesome plugin..

may i offer 2 wishes =) the first i have posted alread over at sketchucation...

1. having the ability to flatten to specific planes xy yz xz for a start would be enough but it would be even more awesome if we could set the "plane" via 3 point click while the tool is in action....

2. having the ability to only merge close vertices which are for example not connected to unhidden edges or something like that - that is, giving the user some way of identifing the vertices which need some cleanup - maybe also layers and materials could be used as filters....

thanks for your efforts

Hi Franz.

1. You can kind of do this already, using the Gizmo and scale to 0. However in V2 it will actually snap to 0 so it'll be easier.

2. Can you post a sample model on the SketchUp forums? http://forums.sketchup.com/ (I'll see the post if you post in the Extensions category.) This request needs some clarification and the forum is a better media for that.

-Thom

Hey!

Hey!

I'm wondering, most of the time I model on my laptop, but when I have a chance I go on my brothers much faster PC. Could I license the plugin to both computers or would I need tu purchase it twice?

Thanks! Keep up the great work!

Hi Jani

Hi Jani
The license is per user - so you can use it on however many machines as you like.
-Thom

That's great, thank you!

That's great, thank you! Purchasing as soon as trial expires, got more work done now in 2 weeks than in month and a half without it, amazing tool!

Happy to hear that! :D

Awesome add on!

Awesome add on!
Been using it since day one. Solved my everlasting editing terrains to match certain points.

The graphic design, interface and overall appearance of the tool bar is simply great.
Very intuitive and user friendly.

The selection tools inside "Vertex" is great with circle, box, freehand and lasso options.
You can also select as soft selection falloff.

On the toolbar, in the modify commands you have Move, Rotate, Scale, Merge and Make Planar.
Finally in the draw option you can insert new vertices for optimum control.

This add on is top notch!
Thank you so much!
