[Plugin][$] Curviloft 2.0a - 31 Mar 24 (Loft & Skinning)

Dave R

Hi, could someone help me.

Upload the SketchUp model file so we can see exactly what you've got.

First time downloading Curviloft and RoundCorner and it says license is expired. Never used the extension before. We suppose to get the trial for 30 days right? Rather no need to mention free trial if there's no intention to give free trial.

Did you download and install the required Sketchucation Extension Store tool before downloading Curviloft and RoundCorner and then use it to install the extensions?

Thanks for your amazing tool. It helps me a lot to create special surfaces.

Sometimes when I use skinning tool, Curviloft seems blocked and does not create the surface. the control panel appears and stays at 0%.
Do you know why ?

Thanks for your help.

Difficult to know without the model.
Also, could you open the Ruby Console before launching Curviloft. There may be some errors displayed.

"Points are not planar"
The same kind of surface was created on the opposite side of my model.

Here is the Ruby message :

Hello,
I feel like I need some clarification here.
Am I thinking right that Curviloft 1.8a is the last version that can be used for free without any time limit?

Rich O Brien

TIG's ExtrudeTools extensions are similar to CurviLoft if you want a free alternative.

I can't seem to be able to Loft by Spline between two simple arcs. What could I be doing wrong?

It suddenly started working again.

It works for me in SU2022. Share your .skp file so we can see what you have set up.

Gus R

Thanks Dave. I don't know what happened. Was working in the past but then this morning it wasn't working. I cleared my temp directory and then it started working right again. Was just between to simple arcs for a brick arch texture set-up. This is what it looked like when it wasn't working. Between Windows and potential plug-in conflicts there's no telling what could have caused it.

Could you upgrade to LibFredo6 v13.6a. It should solve the problem.

I got it up and running again but suddenly it stopped working today. I uninstalled LibFredo and reinstalled it but it still won't work. I tested it with a simple default arc that I offset and it won't work.

This is from the Ruby Console.

It's just doing it with arcs. Otherwise, Curviloft is still working.

fredo6

It is ost likely related to the zooming. Part of the profile and surface is probably outside of the visible viewport.
