[Plugin] BezierSpline - v2.2a - 22 Apr 21

danbig

I have a question:

First, let me add my thanks to the many who have already said it: this tool should ship with SketchUp, and it really provides some key functionality.

I'm curious about the details of how you control the curves of a bezier curve: this plugin seems to have a different mode of control than say, Illustrator or even LayOut. In each of the latter programs, curves can be controlled with the two-sided handle, as shown here:

My question really has two parts:

Is the functionality of the bezier curves in this plugin the same as the curves in Illustrator and LayOut?
Would it be possible to change the mode of curve control to the two-sided handles for this plugin?

The Bezier curves you see in Illustrator and similar are series of Bezier curves connected together. While the splines in this plugin are all one segment.

It would be interesting to see a variant like you describe, would allow for better local control.

This is a brilliant plugin. Thanks Fredo6! When I've got some money again, I'll send you a donation
(In fact I'll send donations to all whose plugins I use, once the work gets flowing again! ).

efw? I have never seen that. Maybe try to rename it to rb (or rbs)?
Also, Bezier Spline may need to be enabled under Window > Preferences > Extensions (and then you find a whole toolbar for it under View > Toolbars)

If you go to the download link clik on save it will show the file type as a EFW file. When I save it too my desk top it is a EFW file. I then clck on send too zip folder.Then extract all into plugin folder. It showes up in this folder as a EFW file type.Am I doing something wrong.

When you click the "BezierSpline 1.4 - 02 Sep 10.zip" link you get an .eft file?
That is odd. Are you using some download manager that might be interfering?
When I click I get the expected "BezierSpline 1.4 - 02 Sep 10.zip" file...

108MB! That is just wrong. You either got a download manager interfering, or a virus/malware. Something is not right there.
Can you try with a different browser? Or from a different machine?
