            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

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

                    Fredo I am a big fan of your work, i hang my head in shame and confess that i cannot get the Curvilot to work when i start uo SU i get the following message " Module Curviloft requires LibFredo6 version greater than 35. 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

                              Here I make another quick test for loft feature. It´s simple but y really want to know if it would work in this cases.

                              I missed this one.
                              Here is the result, with Loft by Spline

                                regards

                                  You can select all the contours to make the loft:
                                  1.gif
                                  You will see that there is a problem with the default method.. try to change it with the toolbar for different results:
                                  Captura.JPG

                                  Or you can make it in two parts (for this model I wanted this result):

                                    The idea was a result like this for that model:
                                    pencil.JPG
                                    Is better to make the loft in parts and not all togheter in a lot of cases.
                                    For example, I´m making a shape where two contours share edges.
                                    1.JPG
                                    2.JPG
                                    it is better to make a loft between 1-2-3, then explode and after that make the loft 4-5 for better results:
                                    3.JPG
                                    4.JPG

                                    I attach the skp to show that if you make a loft of 1-2-3-4-5 the results are not good in this case.

                                      For the pencil, use the regular Bezier method (first method) instead of Cubic Bezier (default method).

                                      PS: for the other shape, there are still some issues when curves are partially overlapping. But it is a good example I can work from.

                                        I've yet to try out this plugin for myself - but is there a linear option as well? Or is it just beziers? It seems to be that the pencil would require a linear morphing to get the shape of the tip.

                                          The Linear option will be available in the next release (along with other spline methods). I came to that conclusion too.
