Most likely. Upload your model so we can see what you are working with.

Successfully installed LibFredo6 Version 8.9a and Curviloft 1.8a in SketchUp 2018. I can also load the CL toolset, but sadly it is not doing anything when clicking on the icons and following instructions.
Just in case, could you open the Ruby Console to see if there are errors displaying.

Hello,
I have noticed a strange behavior when I use "Loft by Spline" With half circles, it is only works if I choose 3 arcs, is it a normal behavior?

There is a bug with this kind of coplanar configuration, for some types of junction.
In your case, just make sure that the junction type is the 'straight line', as shown below:
I'll fix the bug later on.

Thank you for the tips Fredo, it works fine now.

Hi,
Steve Jacobs here in Jersey UK
I am struggling to get Curviloft to load, any ideas
System Macbook Pro 2018
Sketchup Pro for Mac 2019Screenshot below shows Fredo6 LibFredo6 installed and enabled
I sign in to Sketchucation and file downloads.
Try to open downloaded file and system gives me the message loading but hangs there for hours until I turn off the machine.
Tried many times in different combinations
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Regards
Steve J.

Your screenshot doesn't show. You can't just post a link to a file on your computer. Use the Upload Attachment tab below the message window area in your reply.

There's no need to open the downloaded file. In SketchUp, go to Window>Extension Manager and click on Install Extension (the red button at the lower left corner of the panel. Navigate to where the downloaded file was saved, select it and click Open.
A better thing to do is install the Sketchucation Tools extension, available under Resources, above, and use it to search for and install extensions from Sketchucation. It will install them without in one step so you don't have to download them and then install them via Extension Manager. It'll also remember the extensions you install with it so you can easily and quickly check for updates and install them. It'll also create a bundle of extensions that you can later use to automatically install the extensions either on a different computer or when you update to the next version of SKetchUp.

Good afternoon. I have a problem with Curviloft and Curvizard plugins.
Perhaps the problem arose after updating LibFredo6.
Reinstalling the plugins did not help.
Delivered an earlier version of LibFredo6, the problem is not fixed.

I have to admit, I didn' read through all posts in this thread.
Has it already been requested to have an "Upright Extrusion" option for the "Loft along Path" tool?
There are plugins out there that can do an upright follow-me operation. But none of them (as far as I know) can morph between two profiles along the way.
Therefore it would be awesome to have this functionality.

Hey Fredo,
I recently started using curviloft and it worked absolutely great for everything i ever did with it until now...
I'm trying to make a glass rounded swimming pool but for some reason, some edges start moving and others not.
I tried using the move tool to put the edges back where they should be but that ceated a curve that I dont want.
I wish you a great day.

Is there way to govern smoothing angle upon loft creation (inside the plugin)?
Out of the box I got too over-smoothed surface
Thanks
-
Give more Sections ?
-
Pilou, I don't mean segmentation, I'm talking about surface smoothing (normals)
-
Have you tried the Soften Edges dialog?
-
The upper variant (on the attached picture) made with Soften dialog. My humble request is to get this result automatically (like profile builder does) without manual polishing afterwards.
-
Turn "Show Hidden Geometry" on. Then using the "shift+Ctrl+erase tool" select the lines you want unsmoothed and unsoftened. You can play with combinations to get smooth unsoft or soft unsmoothed lines and that will take care of your over smoothed surfaces.
Then turn show hidden geometry off.
You can also select any line(s) and change the smooth or soft or hidden attribute in Entity Info.
-
Again, I suggested kind of more intelligent smoothing (similar to follow me or profile builder) IN plugin itself
Edit: extra pic added to illustrate the problem
-
The top back edge is also smoothed. If you unsmooth just that line and the one below (in the back) then the top will not be over smoothed.
The only other way you can get less smoothed top surface is to create a small smoothed radius on the top & bottom back edges. The size of the radius will control how much smoothing you do want.

Have used your plugins for years. Now I can't load them.

You might try updating the Sketchucation Extension Store installation. https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=SketchUcationTools
