Hey thanks for this plugin Fredo. It's by far my favorite surface generating plugin. Great work.

Hi,
While using this tool there seems to be white text? I can't read the instrucctions
-
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.

I appreciate your hard work very very much. tools like these make sketchup do crazy stuff man!!
once again thanksssssssssssssssss to the developers and any one else

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.

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.

Hello Fredo,
I have almost the same thing to do : a wing - but this time curved like a kitesurf wing.
I have yet done this with a triangular half wing and CurviLoft worked fine for this with 3 edges, but since I have added some right tips to do a trapezoidal half wing, I'm not able to re-do the miracle.
The problem : I would like to make a skin on the upper face following the tailing and the leading edges as rails, with the upper half of a foil as upper skin shape, then end flat to the tip.
In attachment you will find the half of the wing I talk about :
The purple is the upper half foil shape, the dark red is the tailing edge, the dark green is the leading edge and the green is the tip.This happen after I select Tailing and leading edges as 1 & 2, then clic, then select upper foil shape and tip as 3 & 4, then "skinning" : nothing happens.
The same trying almost all other selecting orders.Could you take a look and tell me were I'm wrong please ?
Best Regards,
Guy

I mocked-up something similar to your picture and can't get it to fail. Seeing as I can make a number of things fail, perhaps you should post your SU file, to see what it is exactly. But the way I am doing it is: I just select all of it and pick the skinning tool.
-
Thank you very much for your try to help pbacot,
here in attachment you will find a SKP file with the half kite wing a talk about to test it.
