Tensile tent form finder
-
Hi all,
For some time I am looking for a plugin that accurately forms a tensile tent structure form.
There is already the Soap Bubble plugin that works for simple tent forms.There also is a plugin that you can download form http://de.sergeferrari.com/serge-ferrari-sketch-3/ The problem is that it doesn't work with the newer SU versions. Is there somebody in this community that could take a look at the code of the script and do some recoding/debugging so that this plugin also can be used in the newer versions.
Your efforts will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

J-PSorry but the main code is scrambled and only the creator will be able to modify it.

Have you looked Curviloft? You can do pretty much the same thing with it I think.

I already did but I wanted to throw more "fishing lines" in the sea.
If I got a reply from them I will notify you all.

Free Soap skin bubble is very similar!

Fill your profil : we don't know what is your version of sketchup! OS ?...

Ferrari works inside 2015 so must maybe works also in 2016!
Tested: works inside 2016 !
Tested: works inside 2017 !
Calculates can take some times!

I have SU 2017
Can you explain how and where you installed the folders/files?
Do I have to install more or some other extension(s) in order to let FerrariSketch work?
I also get a bunch of error messages:%(#0000BF)[Error:
