        I need to consider this case of indetical profiles more seriously, which Curviloft did not really do.

        So I'll come with something more robust.

          Hi there,

          When selecting more than 3 edge curves, and choosing for junction by orthogonal bezier curves, the surfaces do not get the reach the right spline method result.

          Here is what the ruby console shows

          Error: #<ArgumentError: Cannot create unit vector from zero length vector>

          Just ask me for the file if needed!

            Yes the file would be useful, as this seems to be a special case.

            Thanks

              Hi there,
              Sorry for my late reply. Here is the attached 2018 skp file . You can see that the selected mode is only applied between the first 3 curves.
              Let me know if I can provide more information.
              Cheers

                    In 99% of of lofting uses I have to straighten borders connnecting ends of segments afterwards(thanks Thom there're Edge tools so it's not manual). Could there be an optionto keep them straight when creating?
                    Thanks

                      Not too sure what you mean by 'straighten'.
                      Maybe an example would be helpful.

                        Edit: Only after posting I figured out 'junction by connected lines' in 'spline method' fixes this problem' 😄

                          I really need to refresh the plugin with more explicit control of the different options (and maybe selecting a few ones which make sense). Currently, Curviloft rather exposes the options that come from the algorithm, up to the user to find out what is appropriate. That's why I still leave it in Beta after all these years!

                            I wholeheartedly agree, but please also update your last 32 bit version as well.
                            I cannot run 64 bit apps on my old PC. I'm still running Make V.13.

                              Loft along the path: can we modify the path after launch the plugin?

                              I don't see it! (the path)

                                What do you mean?
                                Do you have issues with Curviloft on Sketchup 2013?

                                  I searched hard to find how to save this method as default but no luck. Is it possible at least make this tool to remember last used settings at least? If it could remember them permanently it'd be even better. Thank you.

                                    Do you use the latest version (1.8a)? It keeps the latest settings across Sketchup sessions and I checked it works with SU2013.

                                        I checked, v1.8.a doesn't keep my last used settings (at least junktion by connected lines method)

                                          I forgot to say that you need to enable the option in Default Parameters....

                                            It's not that I have issues with CL in SU-2013, just I thought the latest CL update versions were 64 bit only. I will D/L the latest later this week.
