[Plugin][$] Curviloft 2.0a - 31 Mar 24 (Loft & Skinning)
-
Hello I'm new here, I just installed CURVILOFT_Dir_12 and LibFredo6 4.3c - 31 Jan 12, But when I open SketchUp I don't see Curviloft any where to use the plugin. I Have both folders in SketchUp-plugins folder like what was explained to do. So maybe I'm just a little stupid because I can't figure it out what I'm doing wrong.
Thank You to who ever can help me.

CurviLoft is coded as an 'Extension'.
It might need a one-time activation from Window > Preferences > Extensions.
It also has a toolbar which can then be activated from View > Toolbars...
This is assuming all files and supporting files/subfolders have been correctly installed.
If you still have issues, then please post a screen-shot of your Plugins folder etc... -
I installed this plugin as per directions, but when I start SU, I get the following error msg:
Error Loading File bootstrap_Curviloft.rb
uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6Error Loading File CurviloftAlgo.rb
uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6Error Loading File CurviloftCurveMover.rb
uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6Error Loading File CurviloftPalette.rb
uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6Error Loading File CurviloftTool.rb
uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6When I run this plugin, the first two features work fine (loft junction between spline surfaces and a given path.
When I try Skinning of shapes, I select the two edges. But when I click to validate contours, nothing happens. Click for transition also doesn't work.
All the files in my Plugin Folder appear to be as prescribed. Any thoughts?

Strange that you can run the plugin with the loading erros you mentioned.
For skinning, you need to have at least 3 edges to form a contour.

Read this: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=35746 The topic has been covered repeatedly. And since you appear to using Windows 7, make sure you have admin rights to the Plugins folder.

This is just so awesome Fredo, I work with architectural students who are always testing my SketchUp skills, whilst I try to lead them down a path of good modelling practice. Often the modelling moves away from Sketchup because it sometimes is not up to the task where something like AutoCAD or 3dsMax takes. This plugin puts SU right back into the frame. Thank you again for helping the new designers of this world realise thier potential.
Very best regards to you and all the generous plugin scripters.

Looks great, BUT WHY WONT IT WORK ON MY PC!!??

Like most folks who have problems getting plugins to work on their computers, YOU'VE PROBABLY INSTALLED IT WRONG!
If you want it to work you have to give us some useful information so we have something to go on. Tell us what it does. Does it throw up any error messages in the Ruby Console? Show us screen shot of your Plugins directory showing how the plugin is installed. Do you have administrator privileges to add files to the Plugins folder. You need them on Windows 7.

I just dropped by to say- THANKS AGAIN FREDO!!!
A long time ago I had tried this plugin and could not get it to work... Because- as it turned out, I did not install it correctly... I forgot all about Curviloft and after seeing this post again, I decided to try it again (installed correctly this time).BEAUTIFUL! Truly a tool to empower the imagination!... At the moment I did not have a specific project to try this on so I just started playing around with various shapes and paths... WOW, so cool... So quick too... and I love the way it shows you what it will look like before you commit to it... nice. So many ideas... now where to start!!??
Thanks!!

Hey Fredo6,
I have just begun using some of your plugins and I am LOVING them!!!
I downloaded Curviloft and the LibFredo6 4.2 and dropped them into the plugins folder on my mac, but when I open SketchUp 8 I receive this message;
Error Loading File __loader.rb
uninitialized constant TraductorError Loading File bootstrap_Curviloft.rb

Exactly where did you place the files? The full path please? OR even a screenshot of your plugins folder?
Just about every time someone has problem installing it is because then installed them incorrectly. Either in the wrong location or they didn't maintain folder structure of the zip package. -
NEW RELEASE: Curviloft 1.2d - 13 Apr 12
This release marks diagonals in the mesh in ALL generation modes, not just with the PseudoQuad option on. This will better guide mesh reconstruction for usage by the QuadFaceTools by Thomthom and also for Texturing in Mesh UV mode in Thrupaint.
Marking of diagonals is simply to set their edge property with Casts Shadows = false
To summarize
- With option Pseudo-Quads on, you force a complete triangulation of the Mesh. Diagonals are marked
- In other modes, the mesh is triangulated only where needed. When there is triangulation, the diagonals are also marked.
See main post for download

Thanks Fredo

Thanks Fred! Great update to further SU Quad capabilities. Hoping other authors continue with this trend. (hinting Artisan)
