      Hi Fredo,

      thank you for your detailed explanation. I'll continue to experiment with getting to know all the options. Your explanation is certainly helpful to all.

            It's a wee heavy - but I can post the extracted polylines.

                  ?

                  You have to weld the curves for loft to work?

                    Yes this is my experience, otherwise you will have multiple lines.

                      Even more odd - that unwelded needs more distance...?

                        I must correct myself. In your example it works without welding but only if the two lines have a little more distance. Otherwise I get the same error messages. I previously thought the lines would have to be welded. now I've found that it is not so. Sorry, I am ashamed. I was back to cheeky.

                              To all who are interested,

                              My mistake is based on the plugin Extrude Edges by Loft. Here welded edges or corners are required. I realized only now with Curviloft only just a double-click on the edges is necessary to complete the selection. Without the post from Thomas, I would have thought about it.

                              I could have saved myself a lot of time. You get used sometimes to a particular workflow or action and thought no more about it.

                              Charly

                                or, adjust the max edge angle then single click (though in thom's example, the filter needs to be around 130 deg.)

                                [use the tab key for even more filter options]

                                      Hi there Fredo! I've had Curviloft in my plugin folder for quite a while, and only recently figured out how to make it work. (To Whom It May Concern; Thank you all for your tutorials!) Curviloft is an awesome plugin and extremely useful. Once I figured out how to use it, I have had no problems until just recently, (say, a week ago?) when I started getting the following error message:Curvi Load Error.PNG

                                      I think we can safely ignore the matchbox plugin error, as MatchBox is not even installed and has not been for over 18 months (it would not play nice with other plugins so I vaped it...)and Curvi worked fine until after i downloaded and installed the latest version( Curviloft 1.0c, and LibFredo6 35c.) Curvi still works ok for the most part but I have started to get strange behavior from the orthogonal curves setting. As you can see this happened with both of the Orthogonal settingsInterestingly, this did not start until last night. I figured a work-around,What I wanted and got after a work around but I was curious if the reported errors had something to do with it.

                                      Once again, thank you so much for all of your hard work and genius! >hugz'n'cookiez, because I don't have any beer today<

                                            1) Error with Matchbox
                                            I have no clue what the matchbox plugin has to do here (especially if it is not present on your disk), but you seems to get an error from CurviloftPalette which is rather strange. Did you download Curviloft from Sketchucation?

                                            1. Error on model
                                              I don't see exactly what is the problem. Maybe it could be a good idea to post the model, so that I can have a look. There are still plenty of issues with all functions, and some simply depend on the order of selection, or orientation of curves, which may explain why it works one day and not the other.
                                              By the way, did you get a crash (bugsplat) in Curviloft the night before you start having problems?

                                            Fredo
