          OK, the irritating sound mystery is solved.

          Some example code I had used featured a UI.beep which I had not noticed, and the machines I use have the alert sound muted.

          I have updated the download code at: http://www.drawmetal.com/download

          Sorry for the inconvenience.

              Terry,

              Very impressed by this suite of tools. Great job and very neat programming!

              One question: do you know if mathematically you can extend the Cornu curve to a suite of control points in 3D space (i.e. not in a plane)?

                The Cornu function looks like it could be very useful.

                  Hi Terry, your plugin is really good thanks. It works well, but i've noticed a strange thing. In SU6 free when i do right click on a face i had this:

                  Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method active_path' for #<Sketchup::Model:0x879db90>> (eval):3406:in valid_group?'
                  (eval):3458:in selected_stuff' C:/Programmi/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/ctsMaker/curve_menu.rb:46 C:/Programmi/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/ctsMaker/curve_menu.rb:45:in call'

                  I've tried it on SU7 pro (with no other plugin installed) and no error message.
                  Maybe a plugin conflict?

                    active_path is a "SU7 only" method.

                    As the author says:

                        Sorry to be slow in responding. The mathematical extension to 3D is discussed in Chapter 11 of Raph Levien's forthcoming PhD thesis (http://levien.com/phd/thesis.pdf). That does not imply, however, that I will be programming such an extension.

                              this plugin doesn't have any icons (at least no toolbar icons which i think you're talking about).. it's functions are accessible via the plugins menu -> curve maker

                              maybe your blank icons are from a different plugin?

                                So far, the only time the toolbar icons have not worked is when they had not been installed in the right place in the file hierarchy. After installation, the file hierarchy for the plugin should appear as shown in this figure.

                                          Hi Terry,

                                          I have been using that plugin and it is awesome. I just downloaded the updaded version and ran into some problems.

                                          I have this error message.

                                          http://i593.photobucket.com/albums/tt12/ken28875/error_message_curve_maker.jpg

                                          I see the plugin and everything, but when i click on what i want to do (e.g. draw a taper) nothing happens.

                                          Thank you for your help,
