        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!

                          I'm trying to make a ramp using curvishear and curviloft but not getting the desired result. I've attached a video of what exactly happens during the process

                                    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.

                                        Daniel S


                                        ramp new welded.skp

                                          Thanks Daniel...I'm finally able to make the ramp 😄 .. But for selecting the linear edges along one axis for welding is there a faster way rather than selecting them one by one??

                                            You can try with Fredo6´s Hoverselect plugin (http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=18916). But it´s not working for me. Perhaps is a SketchUp 8 issue.
