      NEW BETA RELEASE

      Curviloft 1.0b – LibFredo6 3.5b – 11 Jul 10: Second beta version, dedicated to Loft by Spline and Skinning (Loft Along Path is still not fully functional). Main changes are:

      • Skinning should better accept preselection of contours and make its way to create the mesh

      • Added some spline methods (Linear, Ortho-elliptic and ortho-spline)

      • For Skinning and Loft Along Path, you can over-sample the rails

      • For Skinning, you can swap the direction between contours and rails

      • Preview Mesh is normally black in SU7

      • Floating palette remembers its position across SU sessions

      • Spanish translation by Defisto
        On top of potential bugs and geometry issues (including bugsplats), there are some limitations and unfinished work

      • VCB is not active

      • No interactive edition in the floating palette

      • B-Spline and F-Spline do not close nicely in loop mode

      • No later reedition of shape generated (this will come)

      • all texts and labels are not reviewed yet

        Charly,

        Thanks very much for your deep testing of Curviloft. It helps me find and hopefully fix the many bugs and imprecisions remaining in the script. This is why I judged that I had to go through a long beta phase with the users.

        For the long and winding roads, I have found the issues and they should be adressed in the next release 1.0b.

                Great update Fredo! Very powerful!!

                If you select all and then apply skin there are still issues with this type of geometry:

                  Daniel,

                  Thanks for this contribution. There are issues, for sure. I will have a close look.

                  In the meantime, it is recommended to use the method of explicitly putting small segments to indicate where to cut cell contours.

                  Fredo

                      It is just a warning, but I'll fix it for the next release

                          It may be that your system folder is protected by some security rules preventing to create folders there by program.
                          So just create the folder DEFPARAM_Dir manually in the directory: /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins and this should work.

                              frequently, I have a little problem.

                              if I open the ruby console and run the plugins. Sketchup is labeled.
                              and generate this error:

                                The two shapes in your attached file work fine by pre-selecting all contours.
                                But I did not find the small shapes where you seem to have troubles (the one with color edges on your picture).

                                For the warning in the Ruby console, do not worry. This is harmless and I have already fixed it for the next release.

                                  hi fredo.
                                  thanks for your response.
                                  already solved the problem.
                                  Reinstall sketchup, in another partition of my hard disk and found that the problem is a file called MSVCRT-ruby18.dll

                                  upload the file.

                                  file size 853kb not works
                                  file size 792kb works


                                  file.rar

                                            So I tried it on the PC side of my MAC, and it worked just fine.
                                            frustrated me 😢
                                            Strange, cause other curves were ok.
