[Plugin] Shape Bender Beta

Edson
v1.7 of HolePunch was done around late January and it was to fix a reported conflict with the unusual way ShapeBender made groups, "It appears that the way ShapeBender copies/adds component-instances/definitions and also uses 'make_unique' etc fell foul of the HolePunch definitions-observers: a definition could occasionally get two of the same HolePunch observers added which really messed everything up big time!"
See http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=302853#p302853 [and presumably Solid Tools was doing something similar ?]All fixed now anyway [btw v2.0 is the current version]...

I am sorry I missed that. as I said somewhere else, it is quite hard to follow all the threads about the plugins one has installed. in my case, I have 315 items in my plugins folder...

Oh my, I missed all of this also TIG. Hopefully its all sorted now. I'll have to make sure to adjust the way shape bender does that if I ever get around to re-writing it.

Here is a picture of my problem:

BlueFalcon,
In those pictures I cannot see the axes. Don't forget that ShapeBender works only along the red axis.
-
Assuming that the straight line is drawn along the red-axis...
How big is the group ?
If bending it would make facets <1mm then it might fail... -
I have done the same procces along the red axis with lines all higher than 1 meter, and the same happens.
-
Could you post a screen shot of your Plugins folder as well as the contents of the folder called clf_shape_bender?
-
Hmm, not sure why the previes is not shoing up. Just try pressing "enter" after you select the line and curve. See if that does anything.
Also, run it with the ruby console open, see if it shows any errors.
-
The line should be ON the red axis ??
-
i have tried everything thats told me, nothing helps.
i have a screen shot of my folder with the plugin and the folder, but i cant upload cause the site is down.
only when i opened the ruby console, an error appeared.the error:
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `/' for nil:NilClass>here is the picture but i dont know if this link works:

To avoid potential confusion, the line needs to be parallel to the red axis but it does not have to be literally on it.

it's better also to make all the process on the positive quadrant x,y,z in case of

I want to thank you really much Chris, for the Shape Bender plug-in.
It is realy one of the most wanted tools for me! -
i can´t make it work...
it loaded correctly after install but i can´t select the line on the red axis. i guess this is not a new thing but i still can´t find a solution around.
group selected > shape bender > it doesn´t recognized the line... -
After starting shape Bender, does the cursor change to an arrow with a straight line below it?
And is the line outside the group or part of it?

It´s fixed, i am too impacient! The problem was about putting the shape bender folder in the wrong place. I used the whole unzipped folder under the plugins directory...
Thank you Dave (and Chris of course. let´s have some fun

Ah ha! The old, "installed it wrong" effect.
