Curviloft/Curvizard questions
-
Hi Fredo,
I really appreciate all your work on your toolset. Your toolset havs been a lifesaver. I am working on a project where I am having to generate fairly complex objects which will be rendered on a 3D printer. I am at a loss as to how modeling is done on non-Euclidean objects in SketchUp. Your tools have been a lifesaver.
I have a couple of questions. With both curvizard and curviloft after invoking the plugins, the is a green window with blue borders which pops up in the middle of the screen. I cannot figure out how to push it off to the side or minimize it because it obscures the model. How do I move/close this window? Is there a flag or something which enables verbose mode so that verbose information about potential problems gets dumped into a debug file? In curviloft can I generate a circular surface consisting of contours which is closed? (i.e. starts with contour 1, then 2, ..., 6, then finally to contour 1) Finally, under what conditions will weld fail to take a sequence of fragments, which were initially part of a single, continuous curve, and fail to return a single continuous curve? I seem to be spending a lot of time welding curves, which haven't been touched, because something is breaking them into pieces. I am at a loss as to what, other than the obvious causes this to occur.
Thank you again.
