Flatten Polygon

I've created a small script that flattens a polygon. It will make sure that all the vertices are on the same plane. Put in into your macro folder and enjoy!

wow

what a great idea! i've thought about a script like this many times...well done and thank you

Hi, so nice!

so, multi-selection version by adding some codes might be better.

regards.

Thank you for the replies. tg_jb modified the script to support the selection of more than one poly. You can find it here:

Flatten.js

There's a caveat with this version, though: If the selected polygons share edges or points, updating one polygon might affect already flattened polys. One would need to isolate these points and constrain their movement. I'll have a look at this problem when I find the time. ATM, I'm learning for my exams, so there's not much time left for coding and other fun stuff


Cheers

Hi,
very nice script. It's great to see another scripter. The more script writers the better. :smile:

Bye,
Martin

P.S. Good luck for your exams.:icon_thumbup:

I tried to get this to run again and finally it works
If you have a load of polygons and the feeling it´s not really plane call the script a second time.
Put it in the Macro Scripts folder.

Happy flat Easter Egg Holidays.

Cheers
Frank

PS: Aunt Edith says you can scale a bunch of geometry now along it´s normals or any direction with the gadget mode: second image.

So you haven´t try the modified script from my reply N°6 - which still works.

Cheers
