    I had a similar problem.
    Solved by getting one face slightly out of the plane of the other.
    If this can help. ๐Ÿ˜„

          Introduce a 'vertical face' half way round the loop and do it in two steps ?

                  I cannot really say that this is normal ๐Ÿ˜†

                  This is simply a small problem when the two faces are in parallel planes. It is part of the fixes I will release. The issue is just that the contours are connected in reverse directions.

                    Hi Fred.
                    a question.
                    is normal that generates the mesh outside the component or group that I'm working?

                      It's part of the bug fixed but not yet released.
                      This was already signaled. see that post

                          @Charly: Someone has probably already said this, but your Curviloft models remind me of high style jewelry in the tradition of Faberge, perhaps, or someone like him. I would have to guess you might actually work with jewelry or decorative art in some way. Again, I salute your creativity.
                          The other possibility is that you are a very discerning and talented machinist.
                          However, there are dentists who like to work with jewelry.
                          Now don't let this all go to your head. We won't be able to do a thing with you ๐Ÿ’š

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

                            Hi mitcorb,

                            at first many thanks for your nice comments. I'm just a retired mechanical engineer. I have nothing to do with jewelry. My thanks to Fredo and TIG for their wonderful plugins that allow me always to try new ideas. Curviloft inspired me again and again to construct new forms. It is not a great art, but only practice and a little visionary. In principle, everyone who deals with it can do it.

                              Hi Fredo,

                              I've download your fantastic plugin, but I'm not able to use it. I get the toolbar and menu items, and I've created the curves that I want to work on. Nothing happens at all. I've check the video 10 times and can't see what's wrong. It's the only Plugin that I have installed, after a reinstall of SU. Nothing in the Ruby console, in fact the same problem that 'Rachmatrf' have in June. I've looked through the forum for the answer to him, but failed to find the solution. Can you help ?

                              Regards

                              Jens

                              Running XP SP3, and SU8

                                Jason,

                                I had a look and yes the design is quite impressive. I see of course where you used the plugins.
                                You really should put a picture in your post.

                                Fredo

                                  Hey Fredo,

                                  I am currently trying my best to learn how to use curviloft and I working on a project that I think fits alot of what the tool does -- since everyone else is sharing I thought I would too. This is a the arm for a robot from a show I watched as a child called Robotech (also known as Macross overseas).

                                  http://www.spotoarts.com/jason/armandgun_posed_dc.skp (5mb download)
                                  armandgun_posed_dc2.jpg

                                  I am using curviloft, roundcorner, and JJP for alot of this -- you may also notice that this is a dynamic component and if you click on it I have rigged it to animate between 2 positions... although the poly-count is really stretching the limits of what can be animated.

                                  Thank-you for your plugins!

                                  ๐Ÿ’ญ I also forgot to mention I'm using your BZ toolbar set as well ๐Ÿ˜

                                  Best,
                                  Jason.

                                    NEW RELEASE: Curviloft 1.1a - 12 Jan 11

                                    Sorry for long absence. This new release hopefully includes a functional version of Loft Along Path, along with other fixes. It also support a two-phase loading.

                                    Note that you will need to upgrade to LibFredo6 3.6.

                                    There is still no documentation. So the best is have a look at the video:
