meganm · 11 Oct 2010, 03:04

Hi there,

I'm trying to download this plugin but am receiving a message saying I'm not authorised to download it...
I'm registered on this site. Are there other steps I need to take to be able to run BezierSpline?

Thanks,

Megan

Hi Megan,

There should not be any further steps and you shuld be able to access any attachments once you are logged in. Please, have a look at this topic however and see what the problem can be (essentially the issue is that the forum software logs people ooff once in a while):

Need help loading this file.I saved it to desktop and exracted to su 8 plugins restarted su 8 but it is not there.I see that the file ext. is efw how do I get it to load as rb. I am new to plugins.

Gaieus · 24 Oct 2010, 19:01

efw? I have never seen that. Maybe try to rename it to rb (or rbs)?
Also, Bezier Spline may need to be enabled under Window > Preferences > Extensions (and then you find a whole toolbar for it under View > Toolbars)

Scott M. you excuse my English is not so good. I use Sket8. What I did was to delete the first folder icons (without removing the internal folder containing the images), because it appeared to me the bar and showed me and the bar, but no picture and then I went back to get Images folder in the folder icons (which is the same, what happens is that it comes two in one) and do not know why but it appeared to me and icons. Not if you understand me, maybe you serve.

I have a question:

First, let me add my thanks to the many who have already said it: this tool should ship with SketchUp, and it really provides some key functionality.

I'm curious about the details of how you control the curves of a bezier curve: this plugin seems to have a different mode of control than say, Illustrator or even LayOut. In each of the latter programs, curves can be controlled with the two-sided handle, as shown here:

My question really has two parts:

Is the functionality of the bezier curves in this plugin the same as the curves in Illustrator and LayOut?
Would it be possible to change the mode of curve control to the two-sided handles for this plugin?

thomthom · 25 Oct 2010, 07:15

The Bezier curves you see in Illustrator and similar are series of Bezier curves connected together. While the splines in this plugin are all one segment.

It would be interesting to see a variant like you describe, would allow for better local control.

This is a brilliant plugin. Thanks Fredo6! When I've got some money again, I'll send you a donation
(In fact I'll send donations to all whose plugins I use, once the work gets flowing again! ).

If you go to the download link clik on save it will show the file type as a EFW file. When I save it too my desk top it is a EFW file. I then clck on send too zip folder.Then extract all into plugin folder. It showes up in this folder as a EFW file type.Am I doing something wrong.

When you click the "BezierSpline 1.4 - 02 Sep 10.zip" link you get an .eft file?
That is odd. Are you using some download manager that might be interfering?
When I click I get the expected "BezierSpline 1.4 - 02 Sep 10.zip" file...

108MB! That is just wrong. You either got a download manager interfering, or a virus/malware. Something is not right there.
Can you try with a different browser? Or from a different machine?
