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

TIG,

The bug is simply that I used model.enntities instead of model.active_entities, which is the current working context.

I cannot rely on edges context, because Curviloft can actually 'borrow' contours from Edges that can be within different groups or components.

Got you...
So just add the active_ to entities and it works !!!

Line#198 in CurviloftGeometry.rb
@top_group = @model.**active_**entities.add_group

Hi,

some further simple constructions with Curviloft. The last image show the basi construction.

Cool geometric exploration

Wow, that's pretty cool.

Who would think that Sketchup could do such a thing with a few click of the mouse.

Amazing stuff, Charly

Hi,

some new curviloft objects.

Wow, this is really cool.

Could you please show the screenshots of the sketchup geos?

Thank you, Sir.

can you make juste one tutorial for yours nice jobs

Hi Ken, hi Robert,

at first a few screen shots from SketchUp.

You have a great imagination, and I assume your knowledge is less limited than many

I notice in the SKup captures that the geometry is coincident but not intersecting. I did not realize that a render app would tolerate this?

By the way, which render app is it?

Hi mitcorb,

I use Kerkythea. With Kerkythea I have the most experience. I consider myself still a beginner as regards to rendering. I would recommend anyone to begin with Kerkythea and to study the program thoroughly. This is a good basis for understanding other rendering programs.

I usually start trying to construct a basic form. Then you can play with the spline Methods. Then make a group and copy them and connect them several times. Make it a group again and use again rotate copy. It is very easy. The result is mostly interesting geometric objects. Useless but nice to see.

I would be very interested in what ideas others user have. Has someone already used it for architectural purposes?

charly thanks for your nice tuto , but i am interresting for this objet
if you can make tuto too ,

Robert,

it is very easy. I used this basic construction shown in my post before. Connect the faces as you want and use spline method "junction by orthogonal Betier curves" as shown below.
