        oh boy, I am quite excited about Chris take on this plugin... I have reloaded the forum page some 5 times in the last hour to check if Chris had posted any update. Like if the poor chap had nothing else to do 😆

            Yeah, me too!

            It is coming along well and I put some time into it today, and got some insight into how other scripts implement lofts.

            I might have a very simple prototype up and running tonight or tomorrow. Ive got it working pretty good, it just doesn't smooth from spline to spline. But its still very fun to play with.

                  Now, back on topic...

                  Darrel, One small request, can you located the latest Skin.rb file on your first post please? For some reason my skin ruby wasn't working and i had to filter through 12 pages of posts to find Version 2.5 [I assume it is the latest version...]. This is another reason why it would be handy to put the updates on your first posts, [as does Fredo, Whaat, Chris...] is that they post a compressed file named the version in questions...

                  Would just make things easier to find.
                  Thanks for a great script, BTW!!!! 🎉 🎉

                    BTW, on the Skin Files thread:
                    http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=6912&hilit=plugin
                    it referes to the current version as 2.2.....
                    then on this thread on page 12 the current version is 2.5....

                    😕

                      Utiler:
                      Best I can tell, Mr. Darrel, the author of Skin.rb hasn't been heard from since he posted the plugin. Maybe Jim, the plugin curator on this forum has contacted him.
                      I am wondering if someone could take up the skin plugin just to get it consistent even if it will become obsolete. Sometimes you just need a simple operation like this.
                      Somehow, I was able to get it and the icons. I think I did it by loading an early version, then a later version, and then going back to the early version, or some combination like that. It sets up a drop down call in the Tools menu, called D.B. Tools with a couple of extended options.

                      I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                        Thanks Mate, wasn't aware that he hasn't been around....

                        I'll try your method.

                          Looks like April 12th was the last time he logged on. you could try PM'ing him or sending him an email through the forum. That might make it to his home email account if you'd like,

                            Any possibilities to make skin.rb working inside of groups/components?
                            This will be very nice(i usually must copy the geometry outside of the groups and after running the skin taking it back into group or component)..

                                Hi All,
                                I'm new but i think i fixed the MacProblem with Skin.rb
                                Because of Sketchup V6 and V7 have no NamedOptions there was this NilObject Problem.
                                Here is the latest Code (2.5) with changes to the Option related Sections.
                                Should be also running under Windows.
                                Best Regards

                                  Hi Again,

                                  Here is the next Version. I call it -26, because it works now within Groups and Components.
                                  This was a very minor Change frome active_model.entities to active_model.activ_entities.
                                  Thanks to Thomas Thomassen for his clearly tt_cg2.rb

                                  Best Regards

                                        Does skin26 have the toolbar icons? And can anyone confirm Windows operability?

                                            Believe me. It is nothing personal. I had such difficulty before with getting the icons the ruby and the drop down menu entry in one package, I am just not interested in more of the same gymnastics.
