        Install Sketchucation plugin store ( instructions on page) then just look it up in there and click "install". And please do read the instructions and recommendations, like required Lib folder.

          Hello everyone,

          I'm sure I've been using curviloft in a previous version whithout any problems, without software problems anyway πŸ˜‰
          On a win7 system I run Sketchup 8 en Make 2014.
          On a win xp system I run Sketchup 8.
          On a new win 8.1 system I have Make 2014 freshly installed.
          All have updated plugins(fredo)installed via plugin store.

          Now,every time I try to use any tool the progressbar freezes after computing the selected edges.
          Same behaviour for all three machines....even with simple shapes with less than 100 edges.

          After quiting the plugin and reactivating it the frozen progressbar appears without showing the plugin menu.

          I've also disabled all plugins except fredos' to exclude possible plugin conflicts.
          Anyone any clue?
          Thanks
          Bekans

            Did you download fresh copies of Curviloft and LibFredo6 or did you just copy them over from another machine? Make sure you are only downloading and installing fresh copies and install them correctly.

              Yes,that's what I did: all up to date versions auto-installed via the plugin store, no moving or copying. Same procedure for each machine separately. On the new win 8.1 machine everything has been installed for the first time. Besides Total Commander it's only application πŸ˜‰

                Do you have any problem like this with my other plugins (if you installed some).
                Is it just with Curviloft?

                Also

                • is it will all 3 Tools of Curviloft?
                • if you start a Curviloft tool on a pre-selection, do you get the freeze too?

                  Hello Fredo,

                  I'll stick to the win 8.1 machine because less chance I messed something up with whatever....

                  Yes, all three
                  I tested that too: with pre-selection, without pre-selection.

                  Maybe it's my model: I tried with very basic shapes, no problems. But I dont think my shape is that compliclated. I recall having skinned more complex models. Anyway, maybe I'm overlooking something. I'll include my model.

                  Many thanks for having a look.

                    I tried with your model on SU14 (but Win7).

                    No issue with loft

                    But do you mean it happens with some models only, not all of them

                      Three almost identical contours, three different results. Why ?

                        Interesting. I get similar results. How did you draw them? What did you do differently from one to the next?

                          I've used all the means and methods. I drew the curves with ARC tool. Then I tried to with BZ plugin. But the result is the same.

                            Hi,

                            I have the plug in working in Sketchup. Is there anyway to not include certain portions of what the surface will form? For example, I am working on creating a surface for roads. The roads cover a large surface, and the program creates a large surface covering everything. I just want a surface to cover the roads.

                            Thanks,

                            David

                              Pre-select only the perimeter lines of what you want surfaced. You can include any lines within the perimeter, if you want. Then click the skinning icon.

                                    I can't understand how (if) I can use this plugin to fill the many holes in this model:
                                    http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/7514/zar8.jpg

                                    I select the contour of a hole, but none of the three buttons of the plugin is able to fill the hole for me.

                                      Why can't you attach the image ?
                                      It's a bit much to ask someone to download and then view it...
                                      You could even attach part of the SKP so we could look at it πŸ˜•
                                      Anyway what makes you think CurviLoft 'heals' holes ?

                                        Because it does in one case: "skinning" works fine in filling holes on a flat surface; I thought it could also do it for a generic contour.
                                        Anyway I'm not sure it actually can for any contour: that's why the "if" in parenthesis.

                                        Do I need a different plugin?

                                          It might be that Curviloft could close up the holes. Maybe there's a different plugin that would do it. Without the model, it's not possible to give you a definitive answer.

                                          BTW, please complete your profile with SU version and operating system.

                                            'Clicking the link above' only takes you to the page to download it. You still then have to download it to view it.
