I want to know where to author of the script is?
I hope we have(Edit: n't) scared him off? If i remember he was a young lad. (Maybe)
Dyslexics rule KO!!

This is an older version of the Skin folder that has six icons in it that results in three being shown with skin26.rb.
Note that "Smooth" is unavailable (no other choice).@bob james said:
This was done with skin26 on MacPro.
The Skin folder has four icons in it.
I might add that it took several tries to get the result shown (all sorts of weird results).

Dear Bob,
Thats the same Result as on my Mac. Should be 6 Icons.
As I found out. The ..L.png's are for Windows. The ..S.png's are for OSX.
The Smoothing Option is not implemented, because the Author promised this for a Version 3. See a Posting in this Thread before.
I compared the Code v22 with v26 and there are a lot of changes to the 3D Routines as well.
It tooks time to re-think (understanding) the Code. On the other Hand it's a good Way learning Ruby. May be any-one-other in this Forum has a brief Knowledge to interpret the Changes.Regards Christian

Regards ChristianThanks for the investigation report: now it makes sense that only three icons show (and that I should be patient and wait for version 3 for smoothing).

You might want to add the word "not" in there.
Yeah thanks Coen. I've changed the post but i can be so dense.

Sorry, what version is the final one? I tried Skin 2.2, but I remember that a few weeks ago I found a version that included som kind of line division in smaller segments.
Thank you. -
Is this the same/different plugin by author D. Belvin?

Have no idea... I just look for a "skin" plugin that works well.

i tried to use this plugin to skin my rc sailplane fuselage formers. i could not manage it to work anyway.
then i draw simple squares on same axis to try. i tried to skin between two shapes, but nothing works. something i did should be wrong i guess.

It would appear that the author of the Skin plugin has moved on to other things or for whatever reason has no interest in making his plugin work correctly. Chris Fullmer has done an excellent plugin called Loft that does work and, I think, does a nicer job anyway. Why not just use it instead?

my non works .

I wonder what it is about this plugin that gives so many people such a hard time. It works just fine for me.
-
My copy of skin.rb seems to work fine.
In my case, I have both skin.zip and skin23.zip in my plugins folder. There is a skin folder residing in the plugins folder that contains menu button png's.
Again, in my case, I installed skin first, then I installed skin23. I guess this process has something to do with it.
No guarantees. -

Dave, I think it is because there are a number of versions right throughout the thread..... I too had trouble. So much so, i removed it all together.....

I thought the ground rule was to put the latest version on the first page of the thread.

me too.....

At the time that this ruby was published, the ground rule was not yet being discussed. Not too long after(relative phrase)I joined the forum, I observed the dialogue turning to making the postings of plugins more standard to reduce confusion. This thread predated that consensus.
What I wish somebody would do is either contact the author and have him get the kinks out, or get his permission to allow someone else to fix it, or scrap it and start over.
There is considerable value in the concept of a relatively simple tool such as this, when you don't need some of those others with more functionality.Right now, I couldn't Ruby my way out of a brown paper bag, let alone fix Skin.
