      There may be a bug.
      Could you open the Ruby Console before launching and check if there are messages.

      Thanks

      Fredo

      Very strange, works like a charm now πŸ˜• Maybe that's what i get for not giving Sketchup some love for 2 weeks πŸ˜† Thank you anyway and i'll check the ruby console if it ever does it again πŸ˜„

          Awesome plugin! You know what I am thinking. I'll draw lines on my friends face, take a snapshot, using the snapshot as reference draw the lines in sketchup, then curviloft it πŸ˜„

            Hi. I use Curviloft 1.2 d. It works good, but I see the error every time, when I start work in my ScetchUp 8.

            Error Loading File bootstrap_Curviloft.rb
            uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6Error Loading File CurviloftAlgo.rb
            uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6Error Loading File CurviloftCurveMover.rb
            uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6Error Loading File CurviloftPalette.rb
            uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6Error Loading File CurviloftTool.rb
            uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6

            How can I improve this?
            Thank You.

            Be sure to extract the folder CURVILOFT_Dir_12 into the plugins folder. I extracted the *.rb files straight into plugins at first and got the same errors.

                I am testing a lofting workflow on simple geometry and Sketchup keeps crashing when trying to loft simple lines.

                The process is this:
                Draw a line
                copy 4 times some distance
                move 3 lines vertically up some to distance
                select each line in sequence left to right
                run curviloft

                The tool activates then hangs sketchup. If I loft arcs or other shapes it seems to work fine.

                I am using Sketchup 8 and Sketchup2013 on OSX 10.8.5. Both seem to be affected.

                Thanks,

                Mike

                  Try it the other way round: run curviloft and afterwards, select the lines in the right order.

                    As cotty says, more information would be useful. I expect you've not installed it correctly and/or you didn't bother to install the required LibFredo6 files.

                      How about posting an example SKP file of what you tried to describe?

                        The file is not complicated is it only 5 lines and nothing more and it is a fresh file just after Sketchup starts. This is created in Sketchup 8.

                        I did try as Cotty suggested above to run Curviloft then select the lines. It worked and didn't crash Sketchup, but other geometry seems to work without running Curviloft first.

                          It may not be complicated but you don't describe which direction you copied the lines or how far. why would you even want to use Curviloft of those lines? What sort of result are you expecting?

                            I am using a workflow process that is not uncommonly used in Rhino to connect two planes or surfaces without using arcs. I am trying to use simple geometry as a test first before it would be used later on a more complex model. I like to test things like this out on simple models before I try incorporate it into my modeling process, and I noticed this was causing sketchup to freeze on OSX. I am not sure if the same behavior happens in Windows as I am not at work to try it in that environment.

                            Mike.

                              I do not understand what you think CL will do with a set of unconnected lines. CL needs a closed perimeter of some sort to create the intervening mesh. With 5 parallel unconnected lines, CL can do nothing. I tried it and got the usual CL "I'm stumped" color codes. It did NOT hang my system.

                                Selected the correct way it creates this, but the wrong way freezes SU.

                                  It works fine for me, too.

                                  It doesn't need to be a closed loop.

                                    hello,

                                    I autoinstalled Libfredo 5.2 and curviloft using skecthucation pluginstore 2.0. But now I am having trouble locating them in sketchup in order to begin using them. Can anyone help. Thank you.

                                        I did look under the tools tab and there is nothing there.
                                        I am using Bootcamp, Windows 7, SU 2013 and using the sketchucation plugin store to autoinstall the plugins.

                                          Hi everybody,

                                          I have the same problem as Missy_X a few posts above.
                                          Whenever I activate one of the Curviloft functions in SU2013 (Windows 7, 64Bit), the "Curviloft: Temporary" window pops up immediately. I don't get the usual Fredo-Bar on top of the editor and the plug-in does not work. I can select edges behind the popup, but there's no preview and no lofting.

                                          The Ruby console shows nothing at all. I do have all the latest versions (including libFredo 6.5.2) installed.

                                          This is going on for a few days now. The plugins used to work fine. My current workflow relies on setting up 3D-Bezier curves and skinning them with Curviloft.

                                          Any help would be greatly appreciated.

                                            @daloop,

                                            Could you post an exmaple of the error traces (there is the button in the temporary window to export the trace file).

                                            Thanks very much

                                            Fredo
