AC3D 6.8.14 (Mac) - Divide Loop not found

[guym-p]

The new "Divide Loop" command is not in the list in the Tools menu.

Correct, it is missing in 6.8.14a on Mac (was there in 6.8.12).

Doh!

The main AC3D Mac download has now been updated to ac3d6814a.dmg (i.e. 'a' added). This contains the divideloop plugin.

If you need just the Mac plugin, you can download it here: www.inivis.com/external/divloopmac.tgz. You need to unarchive it and move the divideloop.p file into the plugins folder.

Thank you! And what a splendidly useful tool it is ...

Yes! Divided We Stand, United We Fall. Or is it the other way around? Lovely tool and a great time saver. If someone comes up with a way to quad triangulated rectangles en masse that would be another huge time-saver.

Indeed, sometimes a simple 'convert coplanar tri's to quad's' would be handy but technically, most of the time you want tri's in your final output, especially since graphics cards convert your quads to tri's in the end anyway.

I'd like to see the angles between two points on the info bar. Also local translation/rotation. However, Divide Loop is absolutely fantastic. I've been using it all day, smoothing jet engine intakes. It's a real time saver.
