      This is a brilliant Plug-In... And for free! ...

      Please remember that although many of the scripters, like Fredo, do publish their tools freely, there is often a PayPal 'Donation' available - so you can give Fredo a little something, if you think he's worth it [which he is!] - I'm sure he won't object... πŸ˜‰

        Hi Fredo -

        I am having the same problem as Didier with bugsplats. I am able to make geometry selections, but the moment I attempt a loft by spline, SU crashes.

        This occurs only on PC for me - the plugin works fine on Mac (both platforms have the latest version of SU)

            Hi Fredo6,

            I finally got it to start without a bugsplat. Select edges, spline, and here is the error message:

              I located the problem, but it must depend on the model somehow (most likely the orientation of curves).
              I'll put a protection (or an error message) to avoid the bugsplat anyway and will republish.

                Hi Fredo,

                your plugin is a miracle. Could be a must for historical models.

                  Hi Fredo6,

                  The plugin is fantastic, i'm modeling a XIV Century Church and it has a lot of organic details, your plugin will help me to finish it.
                  I know that the plugin is a beta phase but i find a conflict with other plugin 'set.rb' requested for svg.rb (to import svg files to sketchup), it's a minor problem for me but i say it for inform to other users if they find that the plugin does not work and they have installed this plugin. (I work on Mac)

                  Thanks for all your plugins!! πŸ‘

                  Bye!

                    Here's a modest working use of the tool, much as exampled: to create a square to round transition, in this case for building gutter work.

                    I hope folks will post more.

                        Is there a possibility that coplanar surfaces would be created with Curviloft?

                                Fredo, it probably came from this thread:

                                http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=13475&p=99818#p99542

                                That was an old attempt at include rexml in the plugins folder, but rexml required a set.rb from the ruby language installation which is in direct conflict with the built-in Set class.

                                Hi

                                  Yea, the Set class is one that does differ in SU from the native. Not exactly sure what the differences are - wish it was documented.

                                    And using Sketchup::Set instead generates a lot of warning messages.

                                    Anyway, I found a way to do without the Set class.

                                        three experiments with Curviloft and Perpendicular Square. Please show your ideas for what is possible with Curviloft. It's just fun to try out new ideas.

                                          Hi Fredo,

                                          Please excuse me with my newbie question.

                                          I am trying to get your Curviloft plugin to work on my mac (OS X 10.6.3) in SU7. (Maybe it's working already, but I don't know how to access its functions.) I've only used SU about 100 hours over two years. But as I'm starting to design, manufacture and install concrete ping pong tables, SU is proving more and more useful!

                                          I'm dying to create curved surfaces, so am grateful for what appears to be an ideal plugin.

                                          I downloaded these plug ins: Driving Directions, Ruby Console, Curviloft, and others. I installed the .rb files on min Library/App Support/SU7. I restarted SU.

                                          I saw that DD and RC added themselves to the top pull down menus. DD created a floating tool bar. But I couldn't find CL. I deleted all the plug ins from Library/App Support/SU7, and from Library/Internet PlugIns. I still see RC and DD in the pull down menus. I don't mind them there, but my goal is to start to use CL.

                                          Do you have any suggestions? Next I'll try trashing SU and reinstalling it.

                                          thanks,

                                          Alan

                                            Do you have any suggestions? Next I'll try trashing SU and reinstalling it.

                                            I don't think you need to reinstall SU.
                                            Rather, check the footprint (2 files, 2 subfolders) which is indicated in the main post where you downloaded from (http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=28586#p248195).

                                            If needed, unzip in a neutral directory and then move the two files and folders to the SU Plugins folder, which on Mac should normally be:
                                            Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/plugins
