[Plugin] Cyma Curve Tool

TIG

Here's v1.1 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=230584#p230584

FR lingvo by Pilou added.
Faced option curves now welded as one so smooth extrusion without a mid-point join.

I'm looking at this 'BUG' where one of the arcs is in bits but still an arc ???
Update soonest...

Here's v1.2 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=230584#p230584
The buggy second arc formation has been fixed - I simply made it a different way that now works - I think the problem had something to do with the curves being drawn the opposite directions but whatever it was it's now sorted ?

Here's an explanation of the the 2 types of Cyma Curve...

Thatnks TIG - again!

This will definitely be very handy for my ogee arches (which I would probably use more often than cymas)

Here's an update http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=230584#p230584

v1.4 20100311
Non-square forms now possible and sizes entered, X & Y.
VCB prompt now shows the chord-proportion value needed to get tangential ends - useful if it's a non-square form.
The arcs' segments can now be set.
'Gola' and 'Ogee' added to type descriptions.
Notes and lingvo files updated to match changes.

I assume you refer to the 'broken curve' ?
It's down to how the arcs are drawn - I'll fix it

v1.5 The 'broken' curve/arc glitch is fixed and the form is now a welded curve made from the two arcs...

There is a file in the zip file called 'deBabelizer.rb' - this goes into the Plugins folder ???

Three cheers! You've saved me loads of time, this is a much needed tool! My (paypal) check's in the mail!

TIG

TIG: Here's the Chinese lingvo file

CymaCurveToolZH-CN.rar

TIG

Thanks. I'll add it to a future update - in the meanwhile any users wanting Chinese locale lingvo can extract this and put it into their ../Plugins/TIGtools/ folder...

I had used a different deBabelizer version instead of the one included with this plug, so simply replacing that with the one included... well, that fixed it! thanks
