[Plugin] BezierSpline - v2.2a - 22 Apr 21

wow, thats fantastic, Fredo! just yesterday I went through welding dozens of curves, just to polyline-divide them afterwards. now that would be sooo much faster! what a great christmas present! THANK YOU
and I see you've implemented some of the visual stuff of the 'round corner' plugin as well (like the green cursor when in edit mode). I like it a lot!
I've got one question though, that I wanted to ask you for quite some time now:
when I transform a polyline (or now just a series of linesegments
) into a Polyline Arc Corners, sometimes the distribution of vertexes is a bit strange, showing some corner with very high polygon detail, leaving others almost unrounded... is there a way to influence that? like to tell the plugin to distribute the vertexes evenly per corner?

[attachment=0:28204xm3]<!-- ia0 -->bz_round_corner-problem01.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:28204xm3]The number of vertices for the rounding is based on the Precision parameter given on a Full Circle basis. So for Precision = 24s, you'll get 24 points for 360°. Depending on the arc angle of the rounding, you'll get less or more points.
Is that the explanation or do you see another issue or bug?Fredo

Thank you Fredo, it runs very well.. conversion is awesome!
updated icons if needed

So Version 1.3 is out
Always better and handy and complete. I add my single vibrant gratefulness to the vast number who have already given to you.
So don't need to Weld anymore
DogBone added I have to look that!
Also I've found a great interest and developments to use yourBZ__Animation (divider for flight path) in conjonction with Chris Fullmer's Component Stringer
and also whith Shape Bender from the same to produce an arithmetic(?) segmented curve with it as your BZ__Animation is actually!! "limited to straight lines" Bien Amicalement, Simon.

hi fredo.
a question.-
how they work, the inferences. when I'm editing the nodes of a polyline?
maybe. have an orthogonal way and a way to free movement, pressing ctrl -
can add a tool that enables you to select multiple nodes in order to move them?
-
You can add, to draw a polyline (polyline insulation and polyline Zigzag)?
- Plugins could be added to the libraries fredo? would be good to be able to translate and cuztomizar toolbar
greetings and thanks for your exelentes plugins. and her willingness to help

It's a tremendous tool for enriching sketchup, must now pay careful attention to all the subtle variations in the toolset...Thankyou fredo!

New version 1.3b - 31 Jan 10.
It fixes a bug in Segmentor and reconsolidates all sub-plugins recently introduced or changed.One tip, before I forgot. When you wish to give more precision to a curve without redrawing it (for instance an Arc or Circle curve), you can use "Convert to Catmull". With a precision of
3s, you introduce an median point for each segment. With Precision =4s, you introduce two median points, etc.... Try on a circle of 24 segments and make it a circle of 96 segments. -
I am going round in circles! How do I download the bezierspline v1.3b plug in please. i keep clicking on the title but nothing is happening ...

Go to the first page of this post. Mouse over the target file. Right click. Select Save Link As.. Make sure that the window that pops up shows the file name and be sure that file type is Zip file. Save to destination, say desktop, or Google Sketchup Plugin subfolder. I prefer desktop so that it gets me out of suspense. Then I cut or copy to the plugin folder. Then it is a matter of unzipping the folder in place in the plugins.
Also, be aware that you need the latest version of LibFredo, a helper file for the plugin. Do the same thing to download this one.
Hope this helps.

hi fredo.
a query.
in this plugin, the inferences do not work correctly.
in the first segment, generally work well (inferences, color axis)
the second segment, with some work tools and other tools do not work.
in the third segment, inferences generally do not work or the color of the axes.
and does not block the inference to press the shift keythat's normal? or is an error in my computer?
if not normal, it might solve?
Thank you very much -

Thank you very muchThis plugin needs a serious refresh (this was my first one), in particular for the inference management, tangent positioining and some other additional features.
So your computer is innocent!

So, should I download v1.3b, or should I wait for v.1.3c?
If so, where can I find the download? I would like to try it.
Thanks for your good work,

Whenever i try to use the Courbette comand the program always closes.
Is it a Bug ?
Thanks

I (also) have the problem that only half the toolbar is displayed. The same within the top menu.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2399172/bezier1.png
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2399172/bezier2.pngIt was working fine the first few days after adding the plugin bundle. But today it was like this. I tried disable/enable, uninstall/install (with starting SketchUp in between), updated to the lastest version 3b. Same problem in SketchUp 6 and 7.
I really need the Cubic Curve tool for tracing a complicated bent line for work with a tight deadline. Anybody knows what to do?

Great update, thanks FREDO6

Hi folks, I'm new here and am getting boggled by the depth of the software and the community. I have been familiarizing myself with the BezierSpline plug in. I was very happy to find it as I've used Illustrator for years in my design work. What I need help with is that I am unable to put a face on the bezier forms I am drawing. I can select the line but there is no face. Can someone tell me how to do it? I have been trying for a few hours and I am flummoxed. Thanks, Ray

A curve will 'face' if all of its vertices are coplanar and it is looped [or at least connected to other edges so there are on open ends].
Draw over one of its edges and it should face.
If not try drawing a diagonal line across where the face should be - this can force a face - you should be able to erase the temporary line afterwards and the face should stay behind.
If not there are 'face-making' scripts - search for 'makefaces'....
