Look at the bottom of the first post. There is a file there. There is also a link in that first post to another thread that has a file you must download. D/L and install them both as described in various places in the thread, and you should be set to go.

fredo, would it be possible to allow users to enter a distance in the VCB once the bend tool has been anchored ie: i select a group, activate the bend tool, now while im dragging the purple line to indicate the extent of the bended area, it would be nice if this line snapped to axis and i could enter a distance for this line as to match the geometry to an existing curve, given that i know the length of the curve i am matching the geometry to

i've already used bend and twist for a real project.. (and i mean bend and twist were the main tools used.. other than that, i only used rectangle and push/pull to create the basic slabs)
it's a proposal for a skateboard-able sculpture and i'm hoping to build a few of these types of things in NYC.
this new set of tools makes exploring shapes such as these very fast and intuitive and i can modify/develop the idea without the computer getting in the way.. thanks again fredo!

I don
t know if its difficult to add more features to this plugin. But a good option for the bend will be to press CTRL and the plugin bend symmetrically around the center.Now is possible this:
and this is the idea:

Interesting idea. I think this is feasible, and I'll try to include it in a next version.

Daniel SDaniel,
The difficulty is always to make sure I do not break anything.
Another good idea, but requires a little bit of work and testing. I'll see what I can do.Fredo

Fredo,
I popped these into my plugins folder and when I open SU I get this error. Quite possible I did not install them in the correct place.
Any ideas? Anyone?
Thanks.

Just create manually a directory DEFPARAM_Dirin your Sketchup Plugins folder. Then restart Sketchup and it should work.
On Mac, it seems that in some situations, the system does not give permission to create folders via script.Fredo
PS: Please respect the spelling of the directory name

Excuse my ignorance. What do you mean create a directory? A new folder to put them in?
Thanks for the quick reply.

Just create an empty folder with the name DEFPARAM_Dirin the Sketchup Plugins folder.
Do not touch the other files and folders, your installation is OK.The script should normally create the folder DEFPARAM_Dir automatically, but it does not seem to have access rights to do so.

Thanks Fredo. Still waiting on my !@#$%^& admin person to come and type her password in. uggghhh.

i noticed by shawn's screenshots that he's using tiger (osx 10.4.xx) so i tried installing freescale on a laptop of mine that has tiger & SU 6.4.120 to see if that was the issue.
it's not.. the directory was still created automatically.. i'm now wondering what can be the cause.
Shawn, are you working from an admin account? (you can check by going System Preferences/System/Accounts.. your user name will say 'Admin' underneath it.)
[EDIT] -- ok, so i just removed the directory from my plugins folder and then logged on as a guest user.. when i tried starting sketchup from the guest account, i received the same message as shawn.. os x will not allow the directory to be created unless you have sufficient permissions to do so..
and yes, after manually placing a folder named DEFPARAM_Dir in the sketchup plugins folder, everything worked as expected.
(all of which required me to enter the system password along the way (ie- i had to enter the password in order to move the DEFPARAM_Dir into the sketchup plugins folder etc.)
