There are other tools that creates surfaces bounded by 2, 3 or 4 curves
4 curves is Coons surface
more 4 bounded or/and crossed is Gordon surface -
Chris i think found a little bug.
When I try to loft two lines inside a group SU crashes.
Everything else is working perfect -

I would need to play with it in rhino or 3dsmax
@Chris : Play with Moi, the learning curve is the same than Sketchup and same ergonomic
(you have a demo infinite without save) 
Rhino or 3Dmax are a little bit more long
-
Yeah, it won't work with grouped objects. Future versions will make it more clear that a grouped object can not be selected.
@Frenchy, I didn't realize MOI had a free non-saving version. I might actually have to try it! Thanks. Also thanks for the heads up on the surface types. I'll look into that better when I get thinking about the next phases of the script.

I have to say that Sketchup would be very basic and nothing special and I'm sure most people would be using other modeling programs if it wasn't for the absolutely amazing work that the ruby writers like yourself AND all the others that I won't mention (we all know who they are). All these scripts that are written for us on here and ones that are for sale, for a very reasonable price I might add, makes one feel like we actually have some sort of ownership in Sketchup and makes this a very personalized service that we have access to. I really appreciate this. Thanks to ALL.....

It's the V1 but all functions are yet exist
Beta V2 is only for owners of the V1 -
@Pilou: does Moi has a Sweep2Rail too?

To get it work with a group/definition edit just change line #36 from:
@ents = @model.entities
to
@ents = @model.active_entities
then it should be OK... -

Of course! That is basic function in nurbs program

is this my su7's bug?

No it is not bug. Plugin tells you that you do not have same number of segments. The top one has more segments than the arc.
-
but now something change
because I replace the โSimple Loft alpha 0.1b version โ by 'the early version'
why
-
nice one
-
@TIG - Really??? That's cool. I need to explore that. I don't feel like I understand entities. vs. active_entities very well yet. I might have another version ready for release today and I'll include that in it. Thanks!
@Coldsteel - Sepo was right, that is the plugin crashing because you didn't have the same amount of segments on the top and bottom splines. When you reverted to the older version, your splines all have the same amount of segments so it is working. But the new version will work also with those same splines.
Great feedback everyone! Thanks so much.

obviously two lines have different number of segments
but it can work under the earlier version
that's funy
-
So that explains it
ๅๅ -
Ahh, that picture is more clear.
In the 2nd version I'm quickly adding and deleteing construction points, and the way I had implemented it crashed the plugin in the middle of making construction points if the segments did not match.
I already had to fix it in the version I'm working on because I'm trying to make it work VERY smoothly with any number of segments. I have high(poly) hopes for the next version.
