      @Macker:
      I just tried a simple T Junction with Bezier curves, but I stubbed the ends with straight segments and ran the ruby. The script could not decide which end to set as the low elevation and which to set as the high. So it basically did both elevations for all four stubs, leaving a wire frame mesh as a group.
      However, after throwing that away, I did a simple ramp and added Bezier plan profiles to the curvishear ramp and pushpulled the stubs up to the nearest point above and then adjusted them to coincide with the main slope. Not necessarily the best way, but one possible solution while we wait for any enhancements to this handy little tool.
      Best Regards,

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

        Respect, Fredo.
        Every once in a while a gem like this is there exactly when I need it.
        I'm going to include "difficult ramp for parking" here so people get this topic at the top of the list when searching. Many thanks !

        you should be interested in the future. you will spend the rest of your life there

            It helps to describe what the trouble is.

                If some modifications are made for the V8, what are the results for the previous versions?

                  Should be none - Ruby 1.8.6 has stricter parsing which has been the biggest cause of the incompatibility.

                    CurviShear should work in SU8.

                    Do you experience problems?

                            Hi fredo!
                            Please take a look at this:

                            If only you could add a similar feature it'd become a mega hit!

                                        Just select the ramp and click the button. A small video showing how the skinning of the ramp is made:
                                        skinning a ramp.gif
                                        I´m using SU8 Pro too.

                                        Do you have the latests versions of Curviloft and LibFredo6?

                                        For checking the latest version of curviloft go to "Tools>Fredo6 Collection>Curviloft>About..." should say Curviloft v1.0c.

                                        For checking the latest version of LibFredo6 go to "Window>LibFredo6 Settings>About..." should say LibFredo6 v3.5c.

                                        If you don´t have that versions you can download them from here: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=28586

                                        If you have the correct ones, try to make the ramp with the ruby console open (go to Window>Ruby Console). Perhaps the ruby console shows an error that you can copy and paste here.

                                          I had the recent versions. I just checked the way you told. But I overwrote the files with freshly downloaded ones anyway. Eventually I was able to make the ramp that you made. That file had another ramp too. I can't make that one.. I've made a new file of that ramp and a video of what exactly happens. Please check and tell me what to do.

                                            Here you have to use another plugin called weld.rb (you can download it at http://www.smustard.com/script/Weld)

                                            I attach a video showing how to make it work and .skp files.

                                            ramp new welded.skp
