        Hi,rv1974.
        Watch this.Arc is not distorted in TOP View.

        Please upload the picture or model that included "distorted arc."

            Tak2hata-san, I tested it in deep and this tool indeed keeps the plan outline. This is
            AMAZING! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
            About your last video: I played with the similar shape and the result was a bit distant from 100% perfect (the left example); then I reshaped the curves with Fredo's skinning
            (the right example) and it was closer to the desired. Could you take a closer look at this issue?
            REALLYThank you!

              Hi,rv1974.
              Folding is works with Sketchup default function.
              Freado' Skinning is smoother function.

              I will connect to the skinning when fredo lib is loaded.

                Hi TAK2HATA
                I'm using SketchUp 2013 Pro on Mac OSX 10.8.4 - downloaded the plugin and unzipped it into the Plugins Folder.
                Opened SketchUp went to Preferences - Extensions - Install extension - located the folder', opened it but could not select the draw slope normals.rb file to install it.
                Any ideas what my problem is, apart from stupidity?
                Cheers

                  Hi,orchard.

                  Installing plugin was completed when you unzipped it into the Plugins Folder.

                  In case of installing from "*.rbz" file,
                  "Install Extension" in Preference menu works.

                  Thanks.

                    Tak2hata, could you please implement somehow the 'offset' (or let's call it 'local') coordinate input? Say typing evenly + 50 would move the vertex 50cm upward from the currentposition.
                    In many situations it's more natural to work with local coordinates.
                    Thanks in advance
                    P.S. This tool in conjunction with Fredo's Skinning make killing combo in landscape\road design! ๐Ÿ‘

                      Thanks Tak2Hata
                      Assuming it's loaded, I can't seem to locate the plugin in any of the Menus or by context clicking a mesh.
                      Any suggestions as to how to activate it on Mac?
                      Thanks

                        Hi,orchard.

                        rb file and the folder include some file will be created.
                        unzipped with folders

                              hi there together ๐Ÿ˜„
                              still a great plugin - however i wonder if its possible to edit the script so it shows the slope in percentage? and i wonder if it would be possilbe to modernise it so it uses the overlay function of the latest sketchup??

                              if anyone can helpt me i would be very happy - im currently trying to edit it on my own with some help of the infamous chat gpt - but from i learned in the forum this is not said to be very effective ๐Ÿ˜„...

                              will see if anyone can help, im willed to share some cookies ofc!

                              best
