This is a bicycle seat model. I used the Meahwrapper plugin to make a proper quadface, but no results. Is there another plugin or how to do it. Thank you. ![test](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/9/2/921866a05971846b3567da391dcfca8753580e20.png) [test.skp](https://forums.sketchup.com/uploads/short-url/uUX4vjFifTGSWuY6Tpq6fgkRurq.skp) (208.5 KB) ---

No. Because I don’t know how it can be done with Quad Face Tools. ---

I know green is quad. But I don’t know how non-quad surfaces are made quad. It’s like half the model you made. Do you do it manually one by one or does Quad Face Tools do it automatically? ![test1](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/9/3/934898e3b6a827cc14f7b686977ba3184c6edf46.png) ---

> [@ecati](#): > > I don’t know how non-quad surfaces are made quad. What do you have there, even if you make them quads automatically with QuadFace Tools, or manual, you will not have a correctly created surface. For a good texturing, you need quads as close as possible to the square shape. ---

What I really want to know is how did you create the right side surfaces as the left side smooth quad surfaces? ![test2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/0/9/092d9dc1db2135ee21808751b605a2b3ead8fb01.png) ---

You have several options at your disposal, the first would be to use only the Line tool. You can use Vertex Tools… and so on.
