        Charly,

        You are rather a magician. I had no idea that the plugin could generate all this marvelous shapes. So I guess that on top of the technical capability of curviloft you have added a lot of artistic sense. 👍

        Fredo

          Hi Fredo,

          Your words make me a little bit proud. That motivates me very much to continue. I am only the craftsmen who tries to find some practical applications for this tool. But i'm Sure also other members will present their ideas in the forum. Below another Example.

          Thanks

          Fredo

              • 1 for the tutorial request.

              Wow. That is some delicate looking work. I never would've thought to use this curviloft for something like that.

                  To Fredo6 and testers:
                  Excellent!

                  I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                    Hi,

                    thanks for your nice comments. I'm going next week to prepare a small tutorial. The workflow is very simple.

                      Absolutely great plugin! But it only worked for me after I deleted this plugin: http://www.cerebralmeltdown.com/projects/sunplugin/

                      This is not very bad as I never used it but I was still surprised about this. Maybe you can find out why this happened. At first, whenever I wanted to use your plugin, Sketchup immediately crashed without any error message whatsoever. Now it works fine, thoug.

                        This plugin is an example of what should never be done. It replaces methods or add methods to basic Ruby classes String, Float (replaces the Round method) and Numeric. Whatever is the intention, it may end up with conflicts with other plugins, because every script shares the same Ruby environment.
                        This said, I have no clue why it does make Curviloft crash, because apart from the above, the script is well encapsulated in its own module.

                        Fredo

                                Excellent Charly, these works really deserve a thread all of their own in the Gallery.

                                  this tool is fantastic, however after reviewing the examples posted by charly i was eager to try them out for myself but when it came time to try step 3 if found that the curviloft menue did not display the same information nor did the black backround profile menu appear i have sinced removed all rubies and reloaded only the latest from you posting to see if i had installed it incorrectly however i get the same responce

                                  can you enlighten me as to the problem or is there somthing i am over looking

                                  thanks

                                    I have moved the Curviloft tutorial to the Tutorials Forum - it will hopefully keep both topics more readable.

Current version is 34" but i do have Version 35 in the plugin dir as well as 34 if i remove the 34 many of my other Fredo plugins work is it possible for anyone to diagnose my problem?

                                          Maybe you just need to click on a junction to get the floating palette appear, if it is your problem.

                                            Check out if you have a subfolder named LIBFREDO6_Dir_35 in the Plugins directory. Normally, the script automatically select the latest version of LibFredo6
