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.Fredo

It works....Life changing!...no more rhino or soild works!!!!!!

frequently, I have a little problem.
does not generate the geometry.
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.dllupload the file.
file size 853kb not works
file size 792kb works

this really is a different league of plugin!!
something i've been wanting for a LONG time. how come you don't charge? its amazing

Testing the beta, the skin command cannot complete this file, attached.
EEbyrails does it well tought.
-
Both work for me... but there are more facets in CurviLoft's result...
-
Thanks TIG,
So I tried it on the PC side of my MAC, and it worked just fine.
frustrated me
Strange, cause other curves were ok. -

I think I know what it is and why it is specific to Mac. I'll publish a fix soon with a new release.
By the way, you can adjust the density of meshing by using the Interpoland OverSamplingboxes. If you deactivate both, then you get a mesh strictly built on the original contour vertices.

A new relase ? Great !!
And Oversampling & Interpol will be so usefull for designing !
C'est vraiment super !
as I'm working on a tensile structure these days. -
help.
I see skinning videos posted within this thread but i can't get this shape to work. it seems so simple.....
I click contours, click space, i then repeat until all three lines are coloured and click the tick button or open space. i get a PLEASE WAIT then nothing happens.
Am I doing something wrong, is it Because i'm on a mac?the last picture is tig's rails but i have to make a 4th rail for it to work.
-
Should work with the 3 curves in either Fredo's or mine. With EEbyRails Pick the curve as the profile then the 2 side rails and then re-pick the profile again as the melding-profile - it will end with a point and triangular faces opposite the profile's end, as desired...
-
Thank you for your speedy reply. Tig your plugin is working great (i didn't know about going back to my first curve to make three curves work, cheers)
what i'm making is a field of 800 tents - the ones you can put up in 3 seconds. So i need a way of using the contours and keeping the the polys down.
see pic tent - I used the loft by spline to get this but its not that great, Skinning didn't work.
i wanted to used fredos to get the polys down.
-
Reduce the number of segments in the arcs for the profiles/rails for EEbyRails with Entity Info [before scaling or making a 'non-arc'] ?
-
Thank you Tig. damn ! i knew that.... mmmm
