      In the release note you say that there are some limitations and unfinished work.
      Modify vertex matching by selecting a vertex and dragging it to a new position inside the floating palette is a limitation or a unfinished feature?. That would be awesome.

      This is rather an unfinished feature. Actually, this is why you have a preview zone in the floating palette, because editing on the model, with faces hiding vertices may be less convenient.

      And is possible to allow SketchUp remember the last position of the floating palette? In the default position I have to move it always because there I have all the SU tools there.

      Also an unfinished feature

      PS. Can´t wait for the other tools 🎉 🎉 Hope that you can realease more beta versions before the "official release".

      The other tools work but may have more issues and unfinished features.

          I think you need to draw first the rails that give the shape of the junction, making sure that each surface would be closed by 4 or 3 curves. Then you can apply the Skinning function.

          Thanks but i couldn't get the rails working with this. I don't understand it completely yet. i need to wait till the documentation comes out as i seem to find myself with alot of colourful lines with 7,8,9 written on them.

          But on the up side i worked the path method see pics YES!


          look at me using colour edge plugin!


          result!!!!

            This is a new milestone. I find this tool opens up new design possibilities. The loft tool works very well and easy to understand. Especially because the geometry of the forms can be calculated in advance. Thanks for this wonderful tool.

            The last image below is an almost perfect Moebius band. Unfortunately, the last segment is not closed.

                  Fredo,
                  Great impact for SU users in creating 3d models. With yours I am not afraid of creating 3d models from now on..still new!!! Easy and powerful plugins eventhough you give bug warnings but I have not seen any thing so far!!
                  Genius and generous Fredo 😄

                      I've tried it as well. Thanks Fredo for such a wonderful. Can you get it to maintain a sharp edge? I noticed it round the corners. Would be nice to have this as an option if available.

                      These tools do work very well.... 💚
                      The form is auto-smoothed ? You can always select the resultant group and right-click > soften, and set sliders to 0 and all edges will un-smooth/un-soften etc...
                      or view > hidden_geometry toggle to 'on' and use erase+ctrl+shift to un-soften wiped edges [also remember that erase+ctrl softens wiped edges and erase+shift hides wiped edges - but you must select hidden lines to unhide them using entity info, as there is not erase >> unhide equivalent key-combo...]

                            In some forms it comes to interesting but not unanticipated results.

                              Charly,

                              There are still missing features in Loft along Path, in particular about spiral specific treatments.
                              But if you can post your model, I can have a look and see if this can be handled.

                              Thanks

                              Fredo

                                Hi Fredo,

                                attached you wil have a similar model because the first one i have deleted. I selected each segment separately. Thanks again for your plugin, thanks for your efforts.

                                      Hi Fredo,

                                      I get a bugsplat EVERYTIME I try to "loft by spline", no matter the method used. Any possible conflict with other plugins ?

                                      F: J'ai un bugsplat directement après avoir cliqué l'icône, quelle que soit la méthode de sélection que j'utilise pour les faces, contours, chemins, etc. Est-ce qu'il y a à ta connaissance un conflit possible avec un autre plugin (ceux de TIG par exemple, qui font un job similaire ?).
                                      Je suis scotché, là...

                                        At what step do you get the bug splat: selection, preview, generation of geometry?
                                        Is it with any model?

                                        I don't think there are conflicts with other plugins, and anyway not TIG's ones, because I have them in active my environment.

                                          @Fredo6: at any time, either in a blank new model, or in a model with geometry in it.
                                          The bugsplat occurs as soon as I click on the icon, once I have selected contours or faces and the path (no problem with selection. 😲

                                          I'm considering to start with an empty Plugins folder (except curviloft of course 😄 ) to see what happens.
