      Hello.
      I have a problem with Flowify tool. Please check my file because i have made my groups correctly i think and when i choose the command flowify -> impose grid, the grid doesnt appear.
      What am i doing wrong? I saw a video on youtube that says that if i have done my groups correctly a grid must appear.
      Thanks for the help.

        What version of SketchUp? Your profile says 2018 Free/Make but that doesn't exist.

            I'm not sure how useful this would be these days, the earliest version I've seen people working on (recently) is version 8, rather ask people to post in SU 2017 version / format. Plus you're already on SU 2017 Make...

                Yeah, but if you ask something that seems outrageous then people will be less likely to follow the advise.

                    But before use the Curviloft by Fredo , use other Tools by Fredo for transform your 4 curves of the ending surface! (Bezier tools (?) )

                    Don't touch the 2 verticals (depend of number of segments you want but as it's vertical straight lines...)
                    Transform Curve in PolyLine (Right Click / ) (upper & bottom curves)
                    then Segmentor of Polyline (upper & bottom curves)
                    (for example take 10 segments for upper and bottom Polylines - you can move some points if you want)

                    then you will obtain that in Curviloft (third icon "Skin contour" )

                    [attachment=3:26d9tppe]<!-- ia3 -->segmentor.jpg<!-- ia3 -->[/attachment:26d9tppe]

                    You will obtain a better result! β˜€ ( 1 minute & 30 seconds) (start surface (C) can be the exact straight rectangle projection of the start volumes (E))

                    I have a problem utilizing the flowify plugin, and I think its the density that's the problem, can you tell me a work around for that issue... I have used flowify successfully multiple times so I know the selection or the group isn't the problem... It would be wonderful If you could help me out...


                    Please help

                        You can upload an example model so that we can have a deeper look...

                            You need a quad mesh to be able to map it to the flat surface... but there will more work to do to make it a "nice" solid...

                              could you please explain in detail why a quad mesh is required?

                                Because it's a requirement in the second sentence of the plugin description?

                                "The extension bends geometry along quad surfaces."

                                  You can't project something with Flowify on a complete sphere 3D!

                                  But yes if you make a little triming somewhere like that!
                                  You have now a "quad" surface! πŸ˜‰

                                        hi I have an issue also with flowify, it is not working and I dont know if it is because of my mistakes or plugin's issue because when i checked my extension manager, there's a text in the flowify says UNSIGNED. May I know what does it mean and if that was the reason why i couldnt work with flowify πŸ˜„)) thank you

                                            Signed or unsigned has no bearing on the functionality of the extension.

                                            As Cotty, suggests, share your .skp file so we can see what you are working with and what steps you need to take to sort it out.
