        Can you be more specific please?
        No menus/toolbars?
        Error messages?
        Unexpected results?

          it's not that they need to be vertical per se but the profile splines should be parallel to get your desired results.. it's just something i noticed with curviloft and the orthogonal settings.. (fwiw, in rhino, the profiles can be tilted like you have them and the lofted surface remains straight on the bottom/top_

          Ooooohhh-k...Now I get it. Still having my morning coffee, so it took a moment to get it. Thanks, now I understand what you meant.

          @unknownuser said:

          i redrew all the profiles using fredo's BezierSpline plugin.. it makes a smoother curve and evens out the segmentation..

          Downloading that plugin today! Looks like more options and less of a PITA than the native bezier stuff.

          @unknownuser said:

          here's a video showing the whole process.. i did this on a laptop using the trackpad so i apologize about the jumpy navigation etc..

          Excellent! Thank you for the tutorial and the time you spent on this.

          @unknownuser said:

          also - i copy/pasted your lines into my own template.. i noticed with yours that they are drawn upside down.. the solid blue axis line should be pointing up instead of down.. if you turn on sky or ground, you'll see what i'm saying + the navigation is weird (for me) in your file

          %(#0000BF)[OOOOOps! um, yeah...There was a reason I set it up like that. I was aware of that, but I just forgot to put it back the normal way way before copying the file. I guess I need to take better process notes as I'm working, and reread them occasionally. My apologies for that, Jeff; and also you Fredo, if you have taken a look at this model.
          Anyway, once again, thanks very much for your time and effort explaining things and helping me on this Jeff. It is greatly appreciated. 😄]

              Hi Thomas,

              i welded each line and below the result in Sketchup 8.

              Charly

              I just tried to weld - and I could not get it working.

                Hi Thomas,

                I tried it again (Without welding). Select the lines, each with double click and activate Curviloft. If the lines have changed the color, select the lines again and re-enable Curviloft. Then it works. I don't know why. Maybe Fredo can answer the question.

                  aaaaah!
                  I so very nearly had it there. selecting the curves and extra time so it said 3 and 4 made it computer - but as it generated I got a BugSplat.

                  Would you mind upload the mesh you got from that loft? I really need that patch.

                                  WOW! This looks looks fantastic. I believe I have this plugin loaded correctly, however, I do not see any toolbars or tool selections in the drop-downs?

                                  Thanks!

                                        Hi Robert,

                                        the workflow is pretty simple. I started with a simple geometric shape. Then copied everything. I have attached the skp file. Here you can see exactly how it is composed.
