I am not sure I see the problem.
But in any case, Simplify is not the opposite of Smooth.

Furthermore, Smooth can be used to simplify a curve by incresing the angle, whereas Simplify just remove vertices based on a minimum angle

dedmin,

Would you mind to post or PM me the model.

This looks like a bug linked to the geometry.

Thanks

NEW RELEASE: Curvizard v1.5a - 27 Nov 13

Curvizard 1.5a is a release for future Sketchup compatibility. It is advised to upgrade even if there are no functional changes.

See main post of this thread for Download.

some bug in ver 1.5a ..crash skp9 when I use Curvizard inside the component.

[Dave R]

What is skp9?

You have to give some useful details if you want help. Post the SketchUp model and describe exactly what you were trying to accomplish.

I just tried it and it works for me without crashing.

[sicksickisck]

again crash! :kurwaa: when I want connect lines by Curvizard - v1.5a

That's as useless as your previous post as far as getting any help.

[amis]

Nice interface improvement, Fredo! Thank you so much.

hey Fredo,

I'm experiencing the problem of curves exploding upon welding another curve on the same object.. the attached .skp should allow you to see this in a repeatable manner (at least, the model shows the problem on both of my computers)

MakeCurvesProblem.skp

---

with nothing pre-selected, use the function 'Make Curves (weld)' with the following settings:

..click on one of the 3 border curves of the object.
-exit tool.. the curve has been welded.
-run the function again but use it on another edge.
-exit tool.. this new edge is now a curve but the other one has now exploded.

---

the .skp is saved as a v8 file but i'm using the plugin in a newer version of sketchup.. the Curvizard version i'm using is 1.5a with LibFredo 5.5g

thanks

[fredo6]

Jeff,

There seems to be several problems in this model

• Curvizard (nor Curviloft) cannot select some of the edges in the bottom right corner
• yes, curves are unwelded when you make a new one.

I'll have a closer look and advise.

Do you notice that on other models?

thanks for looking into it.

yes, i notice it on other models sometimes but it was this particular part of a drawing in which the behavior was very noticeable/repeatable..

fwiw, the side profile edge came from a .3ds import via rhino and the surface was then made/revolved via TIG's lathe tool.. i'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.. i also mapped the surface with thruPaint but deleted the texture prior to uploading.. so the surface may still have some custom UV applied?

---

[EDIT] i just tried drawing a similar model in sketchup only.. i still used TIGs lathe to revolve the surface but no texturing or imported curves were used.. same problem.

[fredo6]

Jeff,

I identified and fixed all problems. This will go in a next release. Thanks for signaling (you were the first one).

well, i just recently started trying curvizard as my all-situation weld tool.. previously i was using recurve in the situation presented here.. hence the late find
