<< How do you do it, Pilou?
I have not your Box Dialog for this sort of "trim" section segment wanted! :)

I have just a ShortCut "P" for the plugin _SSplit of Max Smirnov
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=6674.254

So on a rectangular box (as shown on the video)

Function call a Face(s) or a segment...so

I click on a segment (so pre-selection) then Press "P"

For a vertical "trim" select an horizontal segment and you can move your vertical "section"!
Select a segment etc...

Of course if you want an horizontal "trim" select a vertical segment and move your horizontal "section" ! :)

Of course after one apply section you can just select a segment and Richt Click (recall last function) or Press "P" as yo want!

You must "bridged" faces for have this subdivided volume! If you make extrude you will have separated subdivided volumes!

PS If you select a Face I have your Box Dialog for input quadrangular faces on the selected face(s)!

I don't know if "trim section" is the good words ... "subdivided section" ? ...

Hi Pilou!

I had an old version from sSplit, now I updated.

Thanks for the link, Franz

These plugins (SSplit, SBridge, SSCale, SubD ) is a true gem! :)

Bravo to MAX !

Just if "snap" during the move of the segment section will existing that will be gorgeous! But not vital for organic volumes! :)

Hi Pilou!

I tried to insert the older version sSplit. v. 0.6.2015.03.26 with a renaming to sSplit_old next to the new version.
But only the newer version works, maybe something would have to be changed in the files sSplit_old. The old version would have the additional effect that you could work with equal values for a cube (10,90 or 30,70) to get a symmetry.
(Because of missing snaps).
We can't thank Max enough, I agree.
This forum is full of extraordinary people.

Hi Pilou!
Before I have not seen the counter, so I can also reach symmetry.
That's actually enough.
Thanks for the tip with the points shift, it is getting better and more controllable. Great!
Franz

Hi Pilou and Franz,

just figured out that the free SurfMill 8.0 Pro has in it's NURBS modeler module
also a Deformation palette, with a lot of flow commands.... ;-)

And a new UI too! :-)

This is different, or improved over ArtForm?

...And same Installation ?

@Chris it has the Deformation palette, which ArtForm does not have.
I am also not quite sure why they have SurfMill with the same modules
as ArtForm, maybe it is more specialized in the CNC module, i don't know.

@Pilou it is the same installation procedure. Very easy. :-)

Hi Stefan!

Thanks, I already got it down here.
Now I only have to play with it.
I think I need a course...

Hi Franz,

yes, that is a little problematic to have an (English) course...

If you like to learn sculpting with it then you have to watch
the many JDPaint tutorials on Youtube or youku.com. To bad
that only people in China, Vietnam and Russia are using the
software, which makes it difficult to understand the tutorials.

Hi all,

just figured out that ArtForm can now also be downloaded from
their European site. :-)

For installation of ArtForm Pro 3.5 it redirects however to their
Chinese website forum.
