        Helpful error message are now shown when an expression is invalid.

        Thank you...helps me take my baby steps πŸ˜†

        One thing...when I start a new SU file from File -> New, the dialog for SurfaceGen doesn't pop up. It does work if I close SU down completely and restart. I can draw the boundary box, but then cannot do anything else. I opened the Ruby Console while opening a new file, but didn't get any error messages.

                  Me gusta este pluguin,se ve interesante, pero lo veo un poco complicado y de poco uso en Arquitectura, no sΓ© si en otras carreras sea tan ΓΊtil. Voy a buscarle una funciΓ³n. gracias Oxer.

                          I feel like a 5 year old. The geometric forms created are gorgeous and I haven't the faintest idea how to use this.

                                Very cool plugin!
                                But a progress bar could be very helpful. Because I 've installed it and by performing the plugin it seems to take hours to generate a surface and I don't know if it is really working!

                                I've waited for more than 25 minutes for a simple eqation so I have to give up finally...
                                In other words, I can't get it work in my sketchup 8.

                                    I figured out that SurfaceGen has a conflict with another plugin calls 'Modelfuction'.
                                    If you get Modelfuction installed in your sketchup, you can see the pop-up window by applying Surfacegen, but it will not create any surface.
                                    I have uninstalled Modelfunction now and SurfaceGen works well!

                                    By the way this is really a awesome plugin. So it would be perfect if the author can get rid of the conflict with other plugins...

                                      I far as I can see SurfaceGen does not use any unusual methods or interfere with base/built-in classes/methods. However, Modelfunction may well do that - there are a few scripts will ill-advisedly mess with these and thereby they affect other tools unpredictably [often messing with 'group', 'face' etc].
                                      As Modelfunction is a paid tool [and you must be a customer] I suggest you contact the author direct to get him to fix his code...

                                        I haven't posted in ages, but I just noticed that there was a way I could improve the speed of this plugin. The new version only calls "eval" once to create a proc object which it then calls repeatedly, so it shouldn't have to keep parsing the expression each time.

                                          I added version number and time of update to the thread title so it's easier to see the change when scanning the thread titles - also the Plugin Index works better then.
