      I have to admit that I did not purposely design it to work with vertical curves like that, but someone else did point it out and it does seem to work pretty well.

      Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

        Greetings,

        I use Sketchup 8.0.4811 on linux via Wine. It is stable and works well.

        I put the .rb and related folder in the plug-ins folder and got an error upon starting Sketchup.

        Fyi; Just wanted you to know.

          If you keep the error message your secret we can't help you... πŸ˜’
          How about I guess ?
          The error said something about 'progressbar.rb' ?
          Get it free from Smustard.com, put the file into Plugins and retry...
          If my guess is wrong tell us the error and we can try to help you... πŸ˜•

            Apologies. Yes, you are exactly right. I haven't used SketchUp much and not at all in 2+ years. I missed the detail you mentioned.

            Now SketchUp starts without error and I see Shape Bender in the Plug-ins listing. Again, I apologize for this and thank you for your gracious response.

            Aloha

                  Unclex, that's a completely different plugin.

                  Did you also install Shape bender? And what about progresbar.rb. Any error messages in the ruby console?

                  Gai...

                    Are there error messages?
                    Either at startup or in the Ruby Console when it's run.
                    If so please post them here.
                    As Gaieus said... do you have progressbar.rb installed in your Plugins folder [free to download from Smustard.com] ? It's need by this tool to work properly.
                    I know of no recent changes to the EEby... tools that might cause a clash.
                    I have both tools working fine on my PC with all previous and current versions...
                    Please give us as much information as you can to help us help you - your present message is particularly unhelpful...

                        vwSketchupExtensions.rb Replace this file in the 'Virtualwind' subfolder... it previously made a missing method - group.definition - BUT it had a basic error in its code - returning the 'group' rather than its actual 'definition', which would break any other tools that also define and use it, in anything but the most simple way - like 'ShapeBender' does !!

                        It's very bad to overwrite built-in class methods and risky to make new ones, without checking they preexist in your code, especially if there's a basic mistake in yours πŸ˜’
                        The rewritten form ensures that if there's an earlier made method it stands...
                        It should not change the way 'Virtualwind' itself works, but now allows other scripts to work too...
                        I don't have 'Virtualwind' so I had never come across it before πŸ˜•

                              The 'classic' is group.definition so it's easily found and then fixed with my 'trap code'...
                              Otherwise I use Baregrep to search for text like class Sketchup:: etc in all my .rb and .rb.txt files in Plugins and/or subfolders to see if there are new or modified built-in class methods etc.
                              Other greps could be for class Geom::, class Array:: etc depending on the possible type of error...
                              Unfortunately compiled .rbs are impossible to grep - you can only 'find them' by the half/half/half method of moving Plugins out of the Plugins folder... They can then be disabled but not 'fixed'... πŸ˜’

                                  The vwProgressBar.rb file in the 'Virtualwind' subfolder redefines the ProgressBar class that might be otherwise been loaded earlier from the original progressbar.rb script.
                                  The versions of all of the 'Virtualwind' files in the attached zip now make/use a new class vwProgressBar so it's separated from the original ProgressBar class !
                                  This zip has all of the fixes in it !Virtualwind.zip

                                        2nd Botton @ the virtualwind toolbar , can't work , means it can't not export vws files.

                                        VirtualWind is a software for flow calculating such as wind, modeling by using SU ,then export to VW.

                                        Even have no VW soft, the plugins for SU can working for export.

                                        so....
                                        need help.....

                                          you should probably search the VirtualWind thread, as people who downloaded and it might still get notified if you ask there.

                                          I only ever used the plugin and I know VW development was stopped.

                                          good luck

                                            Yes, VW has been Shut Down.
                                            But Somebody said, it could be purchased by a big company.

                                            and VW is a good flow software.....

                                            Thanx for help, Sorry for help
