      Have I missed something in the comments or is Visualizer 1.3 off topic?

        Inspired from Chippwalters very nice video (http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18%26amp;t=62083#p568500) here a much simpler example...

          ... and after "Hide Overlapping Geometry" (thank you CAUL for this too again!)...

                I've tried some examples downloaded from here, but I always get the message:
                "INPUT ERROR: Not enough Input".
                Can somebody please help

                Thanks in advance

                  You must have BOTH the support group and the source geometry selected before running Flowify. Below is a screen shot (from the example file) of what this looks like.

                    Thank you CAUL, it works like a charm now. The plug is very useful.
                    Thanks

                      Absolutely brilliant. And Hide Overlapping Geometry Removal as well. Great time saving when rendering. Thank you!

                          Hey, brilliant plugin!

                          I can finally make complex lattice structures with the aid of Bezierspline and Curviloft...many possibilities for pseudo-parametric facades and forms as well (for the architects among us).

                          One minor bug I've found - I'm not sure how to describe it in words but there are some geometries that go jagged when mapping to a steeply curved surface - have a look at these screenshots.

                          The SketchUp file (I'm using SU Pro 2015) is too big to post here, but let me know of a way to send it to you if it helps...

                          Cheers
                          Joel


                          Support group + array of components + target surface


                          Some of the mapped geometry becomes jagged after Flowify :(


                          What I'm trying to achieve...

                              Hi, great plugin i'm just discovering !
                              But I also just starting having some issues. I'm trying to build a quite complex staircase silt, with differents curves. As some plugins like "follow me and keep" plugins don't work very well for what i need, my last chance is to make flowify work.
                              On the picture (0) is the profile and guide. On the picture (1) you can see that flowify is going crazy on the end. I don't know if I did something wrong, but i just followed the tutorials. If I try not to use the entire grid to avoid the crazy end, it appears that the result isn't really scaled (2)...
                              Any idea of what is going wrong ?

                              Thanks a lot

                                  Not really. Could you please attach a skp file?

                                    Hi,

                                    I found where it could came from. I did an other operation before and made a grid and the plane surface then. I didn't removed that grid, and it might not feet to the new operation (so flowify might calcules with false beginning and ending geometry).
                                    I made an other plane rectangular with any grid and it worked perfectly.
                                    We can still have the model to see what crasy results it mades.

                                    Thanks a lot

                                      Align Target surface by the middle from the Source surface avoid generally some problem for the 2 lines! 🤓

                                          Thanks for this plugin.

                                          I've been having a lot of trouble with errors with grid parsing, even with simple geometry. Would anyone be able to quickly diagnose what is wrong with the attached model?

                                          Thanks again,

                                          Brian

                                            There were little edges or errors in your quad mesh, after repairing them, it worked like a charm...
