      It may just be my machine, so if any other Mac user with all 4 installed wants to quit SU with it (the toolbar) open and see if they get an extra button on restart, and let me know, I'd be grateful.

      tried it a couple of times and no 5th button..

          Me too. Tried every combo of arc direction etc and no problems... The only thing we don't know is his 'scale' - perhaps it's tiny ? πŸ’­
          Wait till his PM SKP arrives... πŸ˜•
          EDIT: I just tried it with 3 curves <1mm long and it either made a partial mesh or made no mesh at all - It's to do with the size that SUp can make a face - a bit like FollowMe use over very small arcs - it can do the really small triangular faces... So that is one possibility - let's see what the actual problem SKP is like... πŸ˜•

                I got your SKP via PM.
                I tried it and it works fine for me - here's the file back...
                I assume you are using SUp v6 [from the the SKP version] - it might be a SUp version related problem BUT I don't see how.
                The SKP was purgeable of several unused things but it worked fine for me before that anyway.
                The SKP had 'no problems to fix' in Model Info.
                Working with it through all of the combos I did highlight a couple of minor picking glitches that I'll fix in a future release - however these weren't related to your problem.

                So to recap - I pick the nearest long rail, then the short profile that joins the rails then the other farther away long rail and then the profile again... The mesh is made perfectly... πŸ˜•

                If you copy the profile to the other ends of the rails so all of th four curves touch at their ends - and then pick this copy as the 'melding-profile' at the end, can you get a mesh to form then ? ❓FFbR[TIGd].pngFFbR[TIGd].skp

                      Hi, one ? and one suggestion

                      have you installed the full new combo set, if not do that first

                      so that makes this the second suggestion, download TIGs demo skp (on top of one of these threads) and try out all his curves. If you use step back rather then delete, you get a fresh set of rails each try.

                      good luck

                      learn from the mistakes of others, you may not live long enough to make them all yourself...

                            Maybe a problem of video card?
                            Or conflict with another plug?
                            Where is the file for test it?

                              I'm running some tests with free v7.1 and I'll have an answer soon
                              I do believe that there is a conflict with another plug.
                              Which file test? TIGs or mine?

                              Mr. TIG
                              I just finished testing EEbR v2.4 on SU v7.1 (free) and it worked πŸ˜„ so I strongly believe that there is a conflict between plugins (now I just have to find which ones)
                              I'm also attaching my plugins list, do you see a plug that it could conflict with your EEbR?

                                But as seems it works now in the V7 seems that is not your file πŸ˜„
                                I have 10* yours plugs in the V6 and no problem πŸ˜‰

                                  I've looked at your list and Vray.. is the only one I'm unsure of - try renaming it with .txt at the end temporarily so it doesn't load and retry EEbyR.
                                  I can't see what might be the problem with a clash πŸ˜•

                                    Thanks for these very useful plugins and the toolbars. I am sending a 3d PDF attached file of a rubber check valve. The rubber top section, I don't know how I could have made it without your plugins.

                                    Open the file with Adobe Reader 9.2 and you should see the model in the 3d viewer mod.

                                    Again TIG thanks

                                          I used the following program.

                                          http://www.simlab-soft.com/3d-plugins/3D-PDF-from-sketchup-main.aspx

                                          I saw it here at this forum and thought it would be nice to send my office updates without them having to send SketchUp files. So far it has preformed exactly as I had hoped. A little on the expensive side, but I can keep the office informed in my progress without them having a big mess of SketchUp files to sort though. I am quite pleased.

                                          Like your illustration.

                                          I find it amazing all the different illustrations my company ask me to do. Every day a different challenge.
