      In the current version (1.2.) the command name to launch the plugin was renamed to "Geom Interpolation..." to avoid confusions with other commands.
      And now script recalls control points after opening the file which contains curve. I'm going also to add interactive control points editing (the same way as in ctrlpnts.rb).

        Kirill, thank you for this plugin.

        Several I watched your videos demonstrating it and then tried to use it. I must be missing something because you seem to be able to make it do things I can't. Could you give a little basic training?

        I can get the curve alright after setting the control points out. After that, I select Edit Geom Interpolated Curve... If I click on the left arrow key I get some additional points but no lines joining them to the points on the curve. Also, if I click on a control point and try to drag it, nothing happens. If I click on a control point and let go of the button, the next click creates a new point away from the first point as if placing a guide point with the Tape Measure tool. Nothing I do will let me edit the curve.

        I've tried following the messages displayed at the bottom of the screen but with no luck. Could you give some guidance? Thank you.

          Dave,

          I have tried this and find it a bit hit and miss to pick a control point. You have to move the select tool around a fair bit until a tool tip says "Guide point". You can click on this and the curve turns red and a message in the status bar says "Feel free to pick a c_point to interact with" then clicking on that point allows you to move the point and the line will follow.

          Chris

            Thanks Chris. I did see that deal with the curve turning red and the message "Fill{sic} free to pick..." but even then I can't move the control point.

              Dave,

              I don't know if it helps but here is a little video I made of using it.

                I think it would be interesting to check out the video of 'crvsmth.rb' revival:

                Finally I decided to reanimate this ancient 'scripture' and make its use more intuitive this time... So now it is adapted into modernized 'LSS Toolbar' infrastructure and its reincarnation name is 'Recursively Smoothed Curve' tool.
                For now 'pre-alpha' version of 'LSS Toolbar' is available. Feel free to use it at your own risk.

                  This is just downright awesome 👍 🎉

                      Actually update is still under construction, I was just excited about the way it works and decided to share current stage 😄

                      BTW, I'm a huge fan of Kerkythea 👍 I use it very extensively and I'm very very happy with it! ☀

                        Thankyou! How does one learn to use the tool (LSS toolbar)? I am just guessing and clicking and getting no results so far. Also the text fields are solid black.

                          I plan to make manuals after functionality update completion: there are 2 more tools are to be added in 'LSS Toolbar' and after their addition I'll start testing and documenting this plugin.
                          The reason, that 'LSS Toolbar' does not work on mac is that settings-dialog forms are not adapted yet for displaying by 'Safari' (default macOS browser, which SU uses to display web-dialog forms). I use pc at work and at home, so it'll be a bit tricky for me personally to make these dialog-forms work on mac too, but I'll try to do it anyway.

                            Hi, kirill:
                            Your update video is very impressive.

                            I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                              I see. Thanks for the reply. I also found the black input fields is a problem on the Mac end that users need to sort out for themselves. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=45382&hilit=black+dialog

                              But it's very impressive work!
