[Plugin][$] Curviloft 2.0a - 31 Mar 24 (Loft & Skinning)

3maj_sie · 11 Jan 2013, 13:06

It looks really cool, but I can't install it:(
As you wrote I install also Libfredo pack and .rb
but I don't have pligin in SU.
When I open SS I have info with load error:

"Error Loading File bootstrap_Curviloft.rb

what's the problem????
I copy all files to my plugin folder in SU, (as usually with plugins).
But only this doesn't work.

You installed it incorrectly. You copied all the files out into the Plugins folder instead of leaving them in the Curviloft folder as they should be. This has been covered repeatedly in this thread. Go back to the beginning and look at the footprint Fredo shows for the plugin. Make it look that way on your computer.

Hello everybody,

When I installed this plugin on my MacBook Pro with Retina it worked great but it did not look like it is suppose to look. It would be very great if this wil be fixed!
I put an image of how it looks in the attachments.

Dave R · 4 Feb 2013, 17:59

I don't see any images.

Hey thanks for this plugin Fredo. It's by far my favorite surface generating plugin. Great work.

Hi,

While using this tool there seems to be white text? I can't read the instrucctions

thomthom · 25 Feb 2013, 08:32

That's due to a limitation in the SketchUp API. Screen text take on the colour of your edges. You'd have to temporarily use a different style that doesn't have a white edges.

@Fredo: one workaround for you could be to detect the edge colour setting and swap between light and dark background.

RaySteve · 25 Feb 2013, 12:07

Thank you my friend! this tool is AMAZING!!!!!!
I appreciate your hard work very very much. tools like these make sketchup do crazy stuff man!!
once again thanksssssssssssssssss to the developers and any one else

Fredo

Any progress on implementing a contour error check and reporting

I just spent an hour redrawing almost the entire contour, endpoint to endpoint to eliminate a single totally invisible .001 inch extra line fragment error. Yet when I first selected the lines using Skinning, I got solid yellow all around. Hitting the Checkmark either gave me a red perimeter, or nothing at all.

I also noticed that if I am selecting edges using the Skinner, and zoom in past seeing the edges selected, when I pan or zoom out the selection (yellow) sometimes get lost and the next line selected is red or purple. If I reselect the lines they are okay, and the previous selections reappear.

I provided some elements of cleansing in Curvizard::Clean up. Part of it is integrated into Curviloft as well (you may get a message).

I really need to spend some time to learn some new tricks. Curvizard is in my update SU list, like a bunch of other stuff.

D'oh! Thank you for the help.

Would someone please direct me to a "Donate" button for this plug-in?

awkonradi · 28 Feb 2013, 02:47

EDIT: Sorry, I just found the Fredo6 at PayPal menu item in Curviloft. All set here.

Thank you Dave R.

Do you recommend I install this plug-in, in order to follow your instructions?

That would be fine. I just want to do this right.

Hello, i really like this script, but i have 1 little thing i cant seem to get it right.
Its a airfoil of a wing and 2 path, with the sweep function i only can select 1 path.
How can i make this work that the airfoil stays between the 2 path??

Best ragards,

You cannot do it in one pass, because there are 2 surfaces to generate.

So Use Skinning and select the 4 contours on the top side, and again the 4 contours on the bottom side.
