      hi SketchUcation

      i'm in difficult using "create loft junctions between surfaces based on Splines Curves",
      I forget the plugin name but I create a ramp skeleton using curvi shear and try to skin it but it seems difficult

      http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/7195/unledbyt.jpg

      left: curvi shear skeleton
      right: after press the plugin button :"create loft junctions between surfaces based on Splines Curves", it is unpredictable forms, and I try it manualy line per line but i dont get it how to use the skin plugin, orange,yellow,purple,etc make me confuse....

      can somebody explain how to use this skining plugin?
      thx

        just select all the lines first then choose thethird icon in curviloft -- Skinning of shapes (not the 1st icon -- lofting of shapes..)

          woow, thx,
          btw, how to make the model a line in the edge? cos the third button wont make the skeleton be able to see, just like press ctrl+erase command...

            Select all those faces (or if a group, the whole group), right click > soften/smooth edges and in the popup dialog, pull the slider down to the left until edges you need turn into hard edges. Now even 90 degree edges are also are softened.
