      TIG:
      What would it take to make the resultant mesh into a Bezier mesh? Or am I talking about another tool?
      In other words after generating the mesh, you could modify it by Bezier control points that would allow you to pull and stretch the mesh like a rubber sheet, and even unfold some unwanted contortions.

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

        Thomthom is working on a Vertex-Editor. which I think would become the basis of this editing tool ?

              UNREAL!!!!!! You are the man TIG!!!! 👍 👍

              I'm starting really wish you would take these algorithms and write a new plugin to handle making terrains similar to "From Contours" but without the rats nest of a mesh the native tool creates. Your meshes are so smooth. Google needs you on staff immediately with a nice fat salary so you can code to your hearts content!

                I don't know if this is another Mac peculiarity but I get very strange results. From three circles (two copies plus an original), when I would expect a cylinder to result, I get this:-

                I attach the skp file just in case there is something weird lurking in it.

                          😲 This is really GREAT TIG... and BTW, I want to thank every ruby scripts developpers here again, you're making people happy 👍 .

                          On another side while it may be irrelevant in sketchup ?! , what if it was a live loft sort of modifing the profiles( on which the loft volume is created ) and sketchup regenerate automatically the lofted volume. maybe it is too much asked as i'm already very glad to have a loft tool in Sketchup

                            thanks tig. excellent plugins. actually this set of tools for extrusion is increasingly complete. and further expand the potential of modeling sketchup.

                            a small observation.

                            http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/3393/loft.jpg

                            when you select a curve, changes color.
                            but generates a rare color "Dashedlines" between blue and another color

                            a question
                            You can set the number of Segments per Section: independently?
                            or number of Segments per Section: General.
                            osea
                            number of segments between the first and last section selected

                            Spanish translation:

                              The color 'dashing' is interference between the drawn color and the model's edges - it's pretty much unavoidable - the coloring is only intended to help you remember which curves you you have picked in what order - as ROYGBIV are the rainbow's colors...

                              You can't currently have different segment-numbers in each section, it's based on the one value you give [which initially defaults as the most segmented curve's edge-count]...
                              It would be possible to have varying segment counts - I suppose that the dialog could have a section-number entry for each segment defaulting to the maximum number of edges in the pair of curves bounding that section of mesh ? OR it could be a maximum count apportioned across the mesh based on some other factor like the numbers of edges in the curve-pairs...

                              If users would like that I can come up with something ?
                              Feedback first please...

                              Thanks, I'll look at your ES lingvo for a future update...
