[Plugin][$] Curviloft 2.0a - 31 Mar 24 (Loft & Skinning)

[py1998]

Hi,
I was trying to use this plugin, but after installing it in the warehouse manager, it says that the plugin is expired. But this is the first time I have installed it

[Andru Chena]

Hi Fredo,

I recently purchased the whole bundle of the tools and they are amazing. I have experienced a problem with one of the tools - Curviloft - Skinning. It does not seem to produce consistent results for a simple system of edges which create a triangulated 3D surface. There are always a number of triangles which become distorted - not planar.

I wonder what I am doing wrong. Would appreciate if you can assist.

Attached is the sample file containing the edges as well as the result after the command is executed.

Looking forward from hearing from you.

Regards

Miho Mihov

Upload the SketchUp model file so we can see exactly what you've got.

First time downloading Curviloft and RoundCorner and it says license is expired. Never used the extension before. We suppose to get the trial for 30 days right? Rather no need to mention free trial if there's no intention to give free trial.

Did you download and install the required Sketchucation Extension Store tool before downloading Curviloft and RoundCorner and then use it to install the extensions?

Helo Fredo
Thanks for your amazing tool. It helps me a lot to create special surfaces.

Sometimes when I use skinning tool, Curviloft seems blocked and does not create the surface. the control panel appears and stays at 0%.
Do you know why ?

Thanks for your help.

Difficult to know without the model.
Also, could you open the Ruby Console before launching Curviloft. There may be some errors displayed.

"Points are not planar"
The same kind of surface was created on the opposite side of my model.

Here is the Ruby message :

Hello,
I feel like I need some clarification here.
Am I thinking right that Curviloft 1.8a is the last version that can be used for free without any time limit?

[Rich O Brien]

TIG's ExtrudeTools extensions are similar to CurviLoft if you want a free alternative.

I can't seem to be able to Loft by Spline between two simple arcs. What could I be doing wrong?

It suddenly started working again.

It works for me in SU2022. Share your .skp file so we can see what you have set up.

[Gus R]

Thanks Dave. I don't know what happened. Was working in the past but then this morning it wasn't working. I cleared my temp directory and then it started working right again. Was just between to simple arcs for a brick arch texture set-up. This is what it looked like when it wasn't working. Between Windows and potential plug-in conflicts there's no telling what could have caused it.

Could you upgrade to LibFredo6 v13.6a. It should solve the problem.
