      Try to follow what chris told me to solve my problem with the bar freezing.

      @chris fullmer said:

      My first guess would be to try component spray. Just unload that script and see if that does the trick. There was a problem with it and Didier uploaded a new version that fixes the problem. So remove it and that fixes the problem, download the newest update here

        I agree, update component spray. If thats not it, we'll start debugging!

          The sketches that you have made are just simply amazing. I can't do it myself. I need more practice.

                    I see you are on Vista.

                    There is a good chance that when you tried to install compospray, Vista played a dirty trick on you. It has a hidden file system called "Compatibility Files" where it puts things without telling you. So try this.

                    • Delete the existing compospray.
                    • In the Plugins folder, towards the top is a button called "Compatibility Files" (or maybe Folders). - Click it.
                    • Now your in a new folder, probably with other scripts. Cut and paste them all back into your regular plugins folder manually.
                    • If there is a compospray in there, delete it too.
                    • Now reinstall compospray, and be forewarned that it might end up in compatibility files world, so go track it down, and cut and paste it back into the plugins folder.
                    • now start SU again, see if shape bender works and if compo spray is installed and working.

                    I know its lame and a bit of work. Vista just does it to keep us safe 🤢 👎 👿

                    Hope that helps,

                      Hi Chris,

                      Another thing i think it would be great to fix for a next update is that construction points and construction lines they follow the Bend processes.

                          Chris,

                          I stripped all the rubies out and it worked. I know that I should add the others back in one at a time but I have soo many scripts with references i keep getting lost on which ones need each other. Can you take a look at the screen dump and see if anything jumps out at you.

                          Here is the console text aswell

                          Error; #<ArgumentError; comparison of Float with nil failed>
                          (eval);44;in `>'
                          (eval);44;in `update'

                                Hi Lex, that is a good question. I think someone else had also asked about that previously. I'm not sure how easy or hard it will be to do. I pretty much never use textures and I've never touched them using Ruby yet, so its possible it might be pretty straightforward.

                                When I re-work this script, I'll see if I can get it to treat textures better.

                                  Thanks for the quick answer, I was searching for some plugin that help me to create a road, and ajust the texture to fit in the curves. This could be a very good tool
                                  Anyway, thank you very much for this plugin!
                                  Cheers

                                        What a plugin! I enjoy the originality of the approach, I am surprise by it great power, and I applaud to it accomplishment 👍 👍
