      The rest I think you can see in the picture.

        Thanks Diggsey for this incredible plugin! 👍
        I have translated the plugin to spanish language.

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

                El otro dia dije "Gracias Oxer" cuando en realidad quería decir "Gracias Diggsey"
                Disculpa.

                    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.

                            a very nice plugin, ( as i have seen only in pics and shapes that you have created) but i don't understand where can i get equations for it? i want to make some fractal geometry but when i applied the equation it wont work. so can any body help me with this equation thing more..

                            and thank you

                              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.

                                      Topmod above is perfect for that 😉

                                        Wonderful tool, Diggsey. Many thanks. Nice that folks are sharing their settings. I wish someone with the appropriate skills or not would chart up some many examples, something like the pic below, and/or list many equations to experiment with. I do not have those skills. I had modeled something like the intersecting sine waves not long ago manually... tch, tch.
