      You installed it incorrectly. You copied all the files out into the Plugins folder instead of leaving them in the Curviloft folder as they should be. This has been covered repeatedly in this thread. Go back to the beginning and look at the footprint Fredo shows for the plugin. Make it look that way on your computer.

              Hello everybody,

              When I installed this plugin on my MacBook Pro with Retina it worked great but it did not look like it is suppose to look. It would be very great if this wil be fixed! πŸ˜„
              I put an image of how it looks in the attachments.

                      That's due to a limitation in the SketchUp API. Screen text take on the colour of your edges. You'd have to temporarily use a different style that doesn't have a white edges.

                      @Fredo: one workaround for you could be to detect the edge colour setting and swap between light and dark background.

                          Any progress on implementing a contour error check and reporting ❓ ❓ ❓

                          I just spent an hour redrawing almost the entire contour, endpoint to endpoint to eliminate a single totally invisible .001 inch extra line fragment error. Yet when I first selected the lines using Skinning, I got solid yellow all around. Hitting the Checkmark either gave me a red perimeter, or nothing at all.

                          I also noticed that if I am selecting edges using the Skinner, and zoom in past seeing the edges selected, when I pan or zoom out the selection (yellow) sometimes get lost and the next line selected is red or purple. If I reselect the lines they are okay, and the previous selections reappear.

                            I provided some elements of cleansing in Curvizard::Clean up. Part of it is integrated into Curviloft as well (you may get a message).

                              I really need to spend some time to learn some new tricks. Curvizard is in my update SU list, like a bunch of other stuff. πŸ˜’

                                      EDIT: Sorry, I just found the Fredo6 at PayPal menu item in Curviloft. All set here.

                                      Thank you Dave R.

                                      Do you recommend I install this plug-in, in order to follow your instructions?

                                      That would be fine. I just want to do this right.

                                        Hello, i really like this script, but i have 1 little thing i cant seem to get it right.
                                        Its a airfoil of a wing and 2 path, with the sweep function i only can select 1 path.
                                        How can i make this work that the airfoil stays between the 2 path??

                                        Best ragards,

                                          You cannot do it in one pass, because there are 2 surfaces to generate.

                                          So Use Skinning and select the 4 contours on the top side, and again the 4 contours on the bottom side.
