[Plugin][$] Curviloft 2.0a - 31 Mar 24 (Loft & Skinning)
-
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).

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!
I also forgot to mention I'm using your BZ toolbar set as well 
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:

Hi Fredo,
Thank-you again for this -- I do have a slight request... I have some re-occurring twisting and if I take the time to align the verts manually the result comes out exactly the way I want, but manually setting the verts seems a bit temperamental at this point and I was wondering if it could be possible to set the "twist" parameters to decimal increments as it would solve my problem (1 is too large a change). See attached file for example.
If there is a better solution then I am very interested... I have split the profiles down the middle and successfully finished it that way.
Best,
Jason.

Amazing as usual...

Best,
Jason.Jason,
In your case, the alignment issue can be solved by using naturalvertex matching, as opposed to best-fit of shapes(which is the default).
Here is an illustration on your model. In your case, the natural 'straight' matching is more appropriate than the shape best-fit method.
Fredo
PS: by the way, your model is a good illustration for using the transversal Spline methods (like F-Spline, second icon from the right, in red). See in attached file

Thank-you again Fredo -- I tried all the other icons there but failed to try that last one (toggle natural)
This is such an amazing tool for Sketchup Best,

Fredo, thank you very very much, again.

Very usefull pluging !!!
Thank you very much Fredo.
I had some bugsplats due to the fact that I was still using an old version of JPP. (It was the libtraductor.rb file who caused it)
But after upgrading both rudys work like charme.
greetings, erikB -
Well, good to know the updates appear to be backward compatible to earlier Sketchup versions. We would expect nothing less from the very capable Fredo6.
And, I add my Thank You, Fredo -

And, I add my Thank You, FredoYes. Normally the scripts should still work in SU6.
The issue with SU* is that, due to a change of the Ruby interpreter, there were some small bugs generated and also some unuseful warnings.Also, for me, it is better is users can move to latest versions because it is easier to support.
