Hi Fredo, thanks so much for your plugins. Without them it would be very hard.
Was the idea to reduce the Tool Bar to save space?

I just downloaded BezierSpline_v2.1a.rbz from the Plugin Store and then installed it from SU's extension manager (I have SU Make 2017 on a PC, by the way). It seems to have installed properly, but when I click on Documentation in the menu, nothing happens. So I downloaded the Quickcard and Tutorial PDFs, as well, but I don't know how to make them available from the menu (assuming they should be, of course). Are these PDFs the only documentation available, or is something missing?

This is the only doc I wrote. If you put the PDF file in the Plugins directory, then it will be available from the menu.

I placed Quickcard BezierSpline - English - v1.2.pdf and Tutorial BezierSpline - English - v1.2.pdf in C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2017\SketchUp\Plugins, as you said, but still nothing happens when I click on Draw > BezierSpline curves > Documentation... .

BTW, your link to Scott Onstott's tutorial leads to a non-existent page.

Sorry, you have to put it in the bezierspline subfolder in the Sketchup Plugin directory. I forgot that bezierSpline is not based on LibFredo6

Thanks for signaling. not surprising for a site which was around more than 10 years ago. I just removed the link.

Thanks, that did the trick.

Dear Fredo,
Hello, I kindly reach you to suggest some feature for the future update of BezierSpline.

As you know there is a feature in Rhino software which you can change the point easily in 2D and 3D and it is Gumball. BezierSpline in the current version, you can change the point in the 2D position very quickly but when I wonder to change the point in 3D axes, I have some problem(Of course when I want to do it, I definitely push up arrow on my keyboard and also be in Front view). Therefore, I really wonder to ask you, would you add Gumball feature for next Update?

 Note: This type of Gumball already exists in the Vertex Tool of @thomthom which can help properly but I thought if this feature will be developed by you in this awesome plugin then it will be more integration.

The next issue is when I draw a curve in 2D, it is so hard to close automatically the curve and I have to zoom in to close it or use the plugin options(close loop nicely or closed loop with the line) which almost is not so accurate or my desirable shape. would you solve this problem?
Have the best wishes to you as one of the most prominent and most successful developers.

Sincerely
Hamidreza

Closure of Spline will come, but probably in another plugin.

Dear Fredo,
Thank you for all of your efforts. I am looking forward to the result of this plugin which seems to be very functional. Furthermore, concerning to the first request, would you add Gumball feature in order to change the point easily in 2D and 3D for next Update or another plugin. Thanks in advance.

Yours Sincerely,
Hamidreza

Hello Fredo6, is the bezier spline plugin not ready for SU19? Because I can install it, but when I try to use Polyline Arc corners, it doesn't show the pop-up window for the input.

Can you open the Ruby console before you launch Polyline Arc Corner and check if there are errors.

Thanks

Fredo,

I am working together with Robbie, this is the error code we get in the Ruby Console

Fredo,

any idea how we can fix this ?

TIG · 27 Mar 2019, 13:17

Fredo has yet to reply, but the error message clearly points to line #67 in one of the loading files [ ../Plugins/bezierspline/BZ__Arc.rb], where it can't find the defined code for ' Traductor'.
When it's trying to run:
Traductor::DialogBox.new TTH_Title
This is a shared 'translation' module - it is an Extension created by LibFredo - which is an Extension set up by a separate installation.
So ensure that you also have its RBZ downloaded, installed and its Extension enabled in the Extensions Manager...
It's available from the PluginStore...
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=LibFredo6
Restart SketchUp after it is installed/enabled to ensure that everything gets properly synced...

@Cenosha

Normally, this should not happen with the latest version BezierSpline 2.1a.

Otherwise, just install LibFredo6, latest version, and this should work fine.
