        but.. it says su8 is supported..

        Ah, yeah you are right. Then I guess he just probably forgot to set up some conditions for Su8. Well see when he get's back.
        Meanwhile do a testspin in 2014. πŸ˜„

        It may have be a condition set on line 26 in the loader rb
        "file = FILE.dup.force_encoding("UTF-8")"

        If I remember correctly Ruby 1.8 (Su8) does not have that method..

        I'm not gonna mess with that since I don't know how he has things set up with TT_Lib so I suggest waiting for his return..

          never thought for a second to fix the code by myself πŸ˜†
          anyway i downloaded su15 and it works perfectly.. too bad su2015 doesn't fit my needs at the moment (mainly for the other 31454535 plugin i use)
          this tool is great! sort of pseudo-nurb brother of vertex tools..
          waiting for su8 news.. πŸŽ‰

            Yes
            For 2013 or 8 user
            just change that like this

            "file = FILE"

              Did you restart Sketchup after installing it?

                Like I said, better let Thomthom do it properly. Even if it looks like a simple fix, it "may" have consequences for TT_lib since removing encoding.
                Although, nothing "bad" should happend if you only experiment at 1 place..

                  It's just always updating...

                  Like the GIF8.gif

                  Cannot Click or DoubleClick

                  and when SU opening, nothing prompt

                    Do you use Knotvectors for the patches ? Or are they interval-based type powerbasis functions ?
                    Edit: Ah right, they are not spline-based, (duh). So you go through the C-extensioncode right ?

                    It's simple bezier quad patches with 4x4 control points each. The bezier calculation is based on the bezier example script posted by @last many years ago, I just ported it to C for faster calculations. You can see the source in TT_Lib2.

                      How do you add Tripatch to Qaudpatch ? Possible ?

                      No, this was on my todo, once the quad patches was done. I removed the main toolbar button for it right before release, but forgot there was menu items and that second webdialog toolbar. I should push a new update the removes the unused controls in the dialog.

                        Really? 😲 I didn't expect the extension to be that useful in it's current state. I hope people do post back more picture.

                          I installed it in SU2014 & SU2015 on Mac but the plugin didn't work, I found a conflict with smartdrop.rb and Sketchyphysics, I deleted smartdrop.rb (I use tt.raytracer now to drop components) and I have deactivated Sketchyphysics on SU2014 with Sketchucation Plugins Manager and Bezier Surface work fine now.

                            i suppose i installed it properly and also updated ttlib to last version..
                            i suspect it may depends on some conflict with tons of other plugins.. πŸ˜’

                            Should work with SU7 and up, I think. Any error messages?

                              Same here. I only had it working in 2014.

                              Error "defined method `force_encoding' for #String:0xb10993c"

                              This is "probably" and Ruby 1.8 error. I have the impression that many authors will stop supporting SU 8 soon.

                              Yea, with my new subdivison extension I'm certainly dropping support for anything older than SU2014.

                              Though this was written before SU2014 and it should work. (Though might have introduced a bug when I added SU2014 support. Can you provide the full error message and exact SketchUp version and OS?)

                                      SketchyPhysics is known to clash with extensions. I think an update is coming.
                                      Not sure about smartdrop.rb - not familiar with that one.

                                          i'm pretty much sure that the "blablabla" part of the message returned ad least 3 different values with different tries (that's pretty odd i suppose) the last try being: "Loading File tt_bezier_surface.rb
                                          undefined method `force_encoding' for #String:0xec947b8no such file to load --" 😲

                                            I'll mainly focus on my subdivision extension over this one. Though I'll try to maintain small bug fixes and pull requests. I'll see after SUbD is done what I do with this project.

                                            Btw, I have a fix for the compatibility bug with SU2013 and older. I'll be pushing an update.
