        I came a problem. with this curve .
        shape bender Can not provide the correct ramp .

        What was wrong with my model?

          It might be that you need to locate the guide line and the curve more logically - line and curve having the same ~length - and also place the group directly above the curve.
          What did you expect the extrusion to look like ?

            The line on the X-Axis should be the same length as the width of the base of the group.

            Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

              HI

              I am familiar with the operation of the shape bender. The thing that makes me question exactly is model uploaded .This curve will disrupt the operation of the Shape Bender.
              If you want to test,do it on a file that is uploaded.

              thanks TIG and sdmitch . I love the two of you. your plugin are awesome! πŸ‘

                  I used arrow keys . But the result at best Is what you see!
                  Please try a file that I have uploaded.

                    I have loaded your file ! πŸ˜„

                    Kill the "straight line" who is in several segments
                    Redraw a single line from origine to the curvated line
                    Draw a single line at the bottom of your component
                    Select the component and call Shape Bender
                    and all will work fine! πŸ˜„

                          I tried the file and it worked. Albeit it worked nice once, and I couldn't repeat, so there was some issue.

                              Sorry, Nabi. GIGO is computer nerd speak for "Garbage In, Garbage Out"

                              In your example, the bad geometry of your curve was creating a bad bent component.

                                ok dave ! get it ! thank you . πŸ‘

                                I realized that with the offset tool we can test health of workline !
                                It is hard for me to explain . In summary I can say Everything depends on a correct offset!

                                  hi πŸ˜„

                                  i'm using the latest version downloaded from the extension warehouse (0.6.1). However, in combination with SU 2015 Pro I'm getting the following errors:

                                  Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method all_connected' for nil:NilClass> C:/Users/eidam/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/clf_shape_bender/clf_shape_bender_data.rb:255:in line_picker'
                                  C:/Users/eidam/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/clf_shape_bender/clf_shape_bender_data.rb:187:in `onLButtonUp'

                                  As witnessed on the Extension Warehouse website, there are more users with this issue. Has it been resolved since then? Or is there an alternative plugin that achieves similar results? πŸ˜„

                                  Thank you for any answer.

                                  I'm using SketchUp 2017, V-Ray 3.4

                                    Fellows,

                                    I'm in the process of redesigning a concrete structure for the greater good. It's called the Villager model and I intend to mass produce them in impoverished areas of the world, beginning in West Africa along the Congo River.

                                    The structure is circular, 20 ft across from the outer walls. The base is made up of three arches which elevate it off the ground. I started with a circle made up of 30 segments. Next I broke it into thirds. I then copied the outer arc from one of the thirds. The length of the arc is 20' 11 5/16". Next I drew the shape that I plan to bend the same length as the arc ( 20' 11 5/16"). I go through the CLF Shape bender steps and the result is very close to what I need. The problem I'm having is the faces on the inner wall of the curved arch are all triangulated. I notice when I perform the CLF steps on just a rectangle, the faces on the inner walls are not triangulated. So the problem is being caused by the arch. There are 50 segments in the arch pictured. I tried drawing it with 12 segments and the triangulation on the inner curved faces was less, but still unacceptable. I need these faces to be flat and extrudable so i'll be able to draw the formwork panels that will be used to pour the structure. I've attached a picture of my original Villager model and another sketch showing the problem I'm having with the new one. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

                                    Thank you,
                                    Eric

                                        I'm going to try this now. I'll let you know how it goes.

                                          Really nice and helpful extension πŸ‘ πŸ‘ Would be even much nicer if it could bend the groups without exploding the sub-groups. Nevertheless, thanks for sharing it.
