Edson,

It seems you got the same Mac OS issue (or Podium related) as Kannonbal.
See this thread http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=15182. You'll find a modified version of the script.

I still don't understand what was going on by the way, and any clarification from Mac users would be helpful for the future.

fredo,

it worked. thanks!

the only remaining issue is that although the polyline segmentor function is working (and it shows in the contextual menu) its icon does not show in the toolbar. i had a look in the script's folder and there was no icon for it there. am i missing something?

regards.

Curiously, I am missing the same button image as Edson.

Thankfully, though, no loss of functionality.

[fredo6]

This is normal.
I never designed an icon for it!

First, I have to say, what an amazing plugin. I just discovered it today. Always frustrated by lack of Bezier curves in Sketchup. Wow!

I did discover one problem though. The documentation does not display. I get a blank window.

Mac 0S X 10.5.6 MacBook Pro Intel
Sketchup 7 Pro

watkins,

i just could not resist pulling your leg about the mix up of fredo6's username with the main character in The Lord of the Rings.

Dear Edson,

You are not the only one to spot that. I will have to be more careful in future.

Regards,

Just re-downloaded this for SU7.

Any reason why the toolbar won't hug the side of the screen.

Seems to only want to sit horizontally along the top.

Matt,

As you may know, scripts have zero control over the toolbar placement from Ruby.
So it must be SU7 or the configuration of the toolbar set.

In my SU7 environment, I don't have any particular issue.

Dear Mattg

You should be able to 're-shape' the rectangle of icons by searching for re-sizing arrows at the edges using the mouse pointer. Once re-shaped (horizontal rectangle to vertical rectangle) it can be placed along the side.

Regards,
Bob

This seems to be related to the Mac platform, dealing with how Adobe PFD reader is installed or configured to ruun in web browser Safari.
I would need other Mac users to advise and possibly gives hints on how to resolve this.

My two cents worth: I have no problem with any feature of Bezierspline on my Intel iMac.
Also the pdf files located in the BZ_DIR_12 folder open in Adobe Reader 9.

Excellent plugin! Thank you dude!

Thanks, Fredo:
I had a glance at this link and it looks very informative.

I discovered a remarkable tutorial on BezierSpline written by Scott Onstottfrom AECBytes at http://www.aecbytes.com/tipsandtricks/2009/issue42-sketchup.html. It will drive you with a step-by-step tour of the plugin, with all types of curves (much better than what I could do).
