      Do you have another folder Sketchup with some stuff in it, say on the C:drive for example...
      Is Curviloft somehow trying to load even when its Zloader is removed ??

      Have you read through my last diatribe... ❓

        i can skin that thing with zero problems.
        i think you might be using the wrong tool.. i think you're trying to use curviloft's Skinning when you should be using regular Loft (the first of the 3 icons in the toolbar)

        just select the two rings then click on the Loft icon.

        And Right you are! 😳

        I guess I was so used to skinning my constructs I just forgot about the other 2 functions.

        Thanks. πŸ‘

          NEW RELEASE: Curviloft 1.1b - 27 Jun 11

          This is a small upgrade to handle the problem of mean curves between contours.
          Previous versions were only able to generate the junction curves. This one adds the intermediate curves. And you get the mesh by selecting both options.

          Thanks to Jeff Hammond for the suggestion to use Curviloft for generate mean curves between contours
          See also discussion at this post on the question of mean curves.

            It seems to be such an important release however that it travelled faster than light and arrived the previous day... πŸ˜†

                    There is a simple explanation for the time warp. Fredo, whom I believe resides in France, simply sent the update Eastward to us and when it crossed the Pacific Date line, voila, it is tomorrow. 🀣

                    Besides, Curviloft can save you far more than a day's work, so the time warp is justified. 😍

                            Yea - we have a whole year worth of seasons in 30 minutes. Pretty much how I remember England to be like when I lived there. Just a bit colder and a tad more snow.

                              In Canada, except for the left coast, we get winter then a coupla nice days.

                              In Toronto, if you don't like the weather, just wait a few hours.

                              Not kidding. 6 weeks ago the furnace was on, then 2 days later the air con was on for 4 days, then a week and a half of torrential rain and thunderstorms. Then the furnace was back on for 2 days, then it became almost nice out.

                                  finally had a chance to try the new one out and..

                                  .. that's awesome how you can do this (obtaining the curves) using loft instead of skinning now.

                                  i thought you might of just changed the skinning part of curviloft but being able to get the mean curves via loft (without the need for the extra set-up lines) is really sweet.

                                  thanks for the update!

                                    One more thing, Fredo (certainly I could also edit it but that's just a last resort). In the first post, you write Curviloft 1.1a and below you can download 1.1b. This may cause confusion.

                                      NEW RELEASE: Curviloft 1.1c - 29 Jun 11

                                      Curviloft version 1.1b introduced the generation of mean curves between contours.

                                      There was however a bug, signaled by Defisto, when contours are closed loops.

                                      Version 1.1c fixes this issue

                                          Pilou,

                                          There is no doc yet and there are many missing features (and probably many bugs).
                                          So I won't call it an official release!

                                          Fredo

                                            Hi. Great plugin!
                                            I do have one question/concern. I'm trying to use it for a curved railing. The profile is obviously not a perfect circle so it twists along the bezier. Is there a more effective way or different plugin to prevent the twisting and have the profile maintain some universal orientation?

                                            Thank you!
