The problem with the translation continues and missing some translations. I have done the Spanish translation (Spain) but how i say you there are missing translations.

Oxer,

Thanks very much for the update.
Note that part of the transaltion is in LibFredo

The issue with the translation effective in the Luancher and tooltips of the main icons will be fixed in release 1.1b.

Pretty useful plugin!!!

I've downloaded the update 1.1c and installed per instructions and when I go to "Fredo tools" to "Check the Plugin Update"; Curvizard still shows in pink/red. I re-downloaded the file and it keeps saying I need to do update!!!??

Thanks.

1.1c or 1.1d?

victor hugo

I had 1.1c and just did 1.1d and the attched is what is showing

Thanks.

You are right, it seems that in the 1.1d file "Curvizard.plugin" the version is still 1.1c ...

Amazing work Fredo, Thank-you!

Hi Fredo,

I was wondering if you might be able to take a look at my office's model to see what might be causing the error(s) I'm getting? I've attached both the model and the error report.

Thanks!

Ruby Error - Curvizard#simplify_curve - 10-Dec-12 13_43_35.txt

What are you trying to do when you get the error message ?
Your post is too scant.

matt.gordon320

My apologies, my message is absolutely lacking in any detail

I've brought in a dwg containing topographic information from a civil consultants's office, and I'm trying to use Curvizard to simplify the contours. When I do, the interface of SketchUp pauses for a second, then comes up with an error message window containing the information in the attached text report. I can't quite figure out what the error is, or whether it's something that I introduced through cleaning up the DWG, or whether it's something that is just lost in translation from AutoCAD => SketchUp.

Hope that's better

Thanks!

There are lots of 'gaps' in your contours etc which are probably causing the issues.
You could always draw a few lines in to heal the critical ones before doing anything else...

I ran your contour-lines [without any other processing] through the Sandbox Tools > From Contours.
After some processing it made a complex terrain mesh...I assume this is something like you hoped for ? Perhaps you need to choose your tools... "When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail..."

The erreor 'reference to deleted vertex' may occur in some situations and not easy to fix.

I suggest you use the mode "Erase and Create" rather than deform.

Were you processing all (or many) contours at once?

Yes, I tried running the "From Contours", and it worked fine, I was just trying to test the difference in file size that Fredo's tool might save. I'm pretty much the only one in the office who bothers to try to keep file size down, so I figured I'd try it.

I'll try to see if "Erase and Create" will work for me. I was running all of them at once. It's my first time using the tool so I was more just testing than anything. Is running all of them at once a terrible idea, like I'm currently realizing it might be?

Hi There,

First of all thanks for all your good work!

I've installed your plugin(s) and all worked like a charm. Unfortunately I've been kind of a dumb ass by moving some of the files out of the Curvizard folder. Tought they were in the wrong folder at the time. Since then on every load, SU keeps reporting missing *.rb files from the loader. Even with all the Curvizard files removed and all so with them installed (and working) What can I do, there is no info about this in the manual.

TIA

I'm afraid tools' authors can't make accommodations for every user's stupidity...
Even some full error messages from you would be helpful - rather than your précis...
Re-get all of the needed files/subfolders again.
Now look at what is in these.
Find all matching files/subfolders inside the Plugins folder and remove them.
Now reinstall the newly got files correctly...

There are clear instructions about where the files/subfolders and helpers etc go, reread that and make sure you know what to do...

Here is the footprint of Curvizard files and folders, so that you could reorganize your Plugins directory
