          One step at a time. Here's my curvi loft skin with quads activated. I select the quads by triple clicking in SU. I hit UV map selected quads and nothing happens when I try to pick UV direction. 😞

          BTW, my pick button on your quad tools is not working. Might that be the problem?
          Is there a problem using Su native picking tools?

          Thanks Tom for your help,

            You do not need to select anything in this case. Since you map everything.

            Do you get any error messages in the Ruby Console?

              No errors to report. I just get the dialog at the bottom to pick the u direction. πŸ˜•
              Do hidden lines need to be on?

                  Sepo, is it possible that when you installed the plugin that you put the contents of the folder loose into the Plugins folder? The files listed in your error message should be in a folder called CURVILOFT_Dir_12 inside the Plugins folder.

                    That might be in order for the tool to be able to pick the edges...

                          I'm still not able to get the UV tool to work after lofting the curves. Maybe these questions should be posted at the UVtoolkit plugin forum 😞

                              UV Toolkit? Not QuadFace Tools? (but yea - better post in the thread related to the plugin in question.)

                                Yes... I did not read the footprint...I presumed it was the content of the zipped folder which usually is.
                                Thanks again.

                                  Do not Double click when you select an edge (otherwise, it extends to all). Also check if the 'Extend to all' option is not set in the button palette.

                                    I left click once.
                                    Perhaps it was mouse lag or something. It's not happening now anyway

                                          First off, THANK YOU. This is my favorite plugin ever. Awesome stuff.

                                          I have a question though. I have skinned a surface, creating a compound curve.

                                          I decided I wanted to "trim" the edge of the curve without starting over. To do this I moved away from the surface, used curviloft to create a second curved surface perpendicular to the original surface, and then moved it to intersect the original surface where I wanted to clip it.

                                          I then highlighted both surfaces and performed an "intersect with selected."

                                          A line showed up indicating that the intersection made sense to SU, but when I started trying to delete the portion I didn't want anymore the the surface clearly hadn't been parted at the intersection. The skin was being deleted on both sides of the line.

                                          I've tried this several different ways, always with the same result.

                                          Thoughts? Help?

                                          Because this may be hard to visualize, I've attached a demo file. Basically I want to cut the layer called "target" using the layer called "knife."

                                          I haven't done the intersections or anything yet because I wanted to give a pristine look at where I'm starting.

                                          Thanks!
                                          -Ben

                                            Youi need to put your knife inside that component. The intersection lines are always created in the editing context you are in so if you do the intersection outside, it won't affect geometry inside.

                                            Triple click on your knife and press Ctl+X to cut it onto the clipboard. The edit the component and under the Edit menu, find an item called "Paste in place". Now intersect.

                                            Gai...
