      Hi Terry, your plugin is really good thanks. It works well, but i've noticed a strange thing. In SU6 free when i do right click on a face i had this:

      Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method active_path' for #<Sketchup::Model:0x879db90>> (eval):3406:in valid_group?'
      (eval):3458:in selected_stuff' C:/Programmi/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/ctsMaker/curve_menu.rb:46 C:/Programmi/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/ctsMaker/curve_menu.rb:45:in call'

      I've tried it on SU7 pro (with no other plugin installed) and no error message.
      Maybe a plugin conflict?
      Massimo

        active_path is a "SU7 only" method.

            One question: do you know if mathematically you can extend the Cornu curve to a suite of control points in 3D space (i.e. not in a plane)?

            Sorry to be slow in responding. The mathematical extension to 3D is discussed in Chapter 11 of Raph Levien's forthcoming PhD thesis (http://levien.com/phd/thesis.pdf). That does not imply, however, that I will be programming such an extension.

                  this plugin doesn't have any icons (at least no toolbar icons which i think you're talking about).. it's functions are accessible via the plugins menu -> curve maker

                  maybe your blank icons are from a different plugin?

                    So far, the only time the toolbar icons have not worked is when they had not been installed in the right place in the file hierarchy. After installation, the file hierarchy for the plugin should appear as shown in this figure.

                              Hi Terry,

                              I have been using that plugin and it is awesome. I just downloaded the updaded version and ran into some problems.

                              I have this error message.

                              http://i593.photobucket.com/albums/tt12/ken28875/error_message_curve_maker.jpg

                              I see the plugin and everything, but when i click on what i want to do (e.g. draw a taper) nothing happens.

                              Thank you for your help,
