      That last process vid you just posted would be a great time saver all by itself. I'm trying to think of something creative to offer as a sample, but you've covered pretty much what I'd use already.

          On the last example, the curve can make a loop on the same plan?
          If yes,there is an automatic clean of the complex auto-intersect skin resulting?

            oooh, good thinking.

            Would it make a torus shape?

              A Torus is easily made using the built-in FollowMe tool or even my EEbyLathe - BUT Fredo's new tool seems far more powerful, and so it should be able to do much greater things 🎉
              We await in anticipation...

                  For loft along path you always show two faces or surface and a path...
                  It will be possible to select more faces?
                  Something like this image that I found:

                  https://forum.solidworks.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-149439-7018/450-194/3-25-2010+9-53-54+AM.png

                  And I attach some models to see if they work with loft along path.

                    This remember solidworks. Non destructive work can be very interesting. And if can be possible to make smooth junctions.

                      hi Fredo,

                      if you need a mac tester...

                      this is a simple version of something I can't get any of the other tools to manage easily, but maybe it's me...
                      low-poly version of with a simplified path and face
                      cantfollow.skp

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

                        I don´t know how to explain it in english, but you follow and rotate. So if curviloft works with closed paths and you can select more than 2 faces you will need to make something like the attachment.
                        Not really sure, but this is how should work this feature Fredo?

                          Hi FREDO
                          I have drawn some models for you to teste the loft plugins

                          you need other models?

                            Hi Fredo,

                            As promised, I attach to this post some test files in order you can evaluate your plugin with terrain work.

                            The first file (road test.skp), show you one of my principal process in order to make roads, and the boring step of cleaning the faces outside the original contours after using the sandbox...I weld all the contours of the road, but I think you'll have to create somme edges in order to divide the whole road in parts.

                            The second file are classic contours for terrain.

                            Hope it will help you to test your plugin.

                            Regards.

                                      See title, it's a 'Preview', the plugin is still under construction and is not yet available.

                                        Fredo,
                                        Looks really good.
                                        .........................
                                        See attached file - a question for both you Fredo and TIG

                                        The Demo video shows clicking of 3 or 4 seperate lines.
                                        Will it be able to skin the attached file - a closed (welded) single polyline ???
                                        or would it have to be broken up into 3 or 4 seperate polylines first ???

                                        Maybe one of TIGs Extrude Tools can handle closed polylines like the attached file ???

                                        This would be really useful and a feature I'd request if this Script doesn't do it already
                                        (or if TIGs Extrude Tool doesn't already do it).
                                        .............
                                        Regards
