[Plugin][$] Curviloft 2.0a - 31 Mar 24 (Loft & Skinning)
-
I already downloaded the plugin and copied all the files to the SketchUp plugins directory but when I open SketchUp it says that there is an error loading several files from curviloft, so the plugin isn't installed. What can I do or what am I doing wrong? please help!

What can I do?
Please, make sure to install everything correctly according to the instructions in the first post. If it still fails, make a screenshot of the ruby console when it displays those errors (or actually you can copy that text and paste it here).

Read through this guide to how to install plugins: http://www.thomthom.net/thoughts/2012/01/installing-plugins-for-google-sketchup/
You might want to use the installer utility it links to. -
I'm getting errors trying to get this to run...
I believe I have the Fredo package installed correctly, but the Curviloft plugin seems to not be working.I've read all of the install directions and i have un-zipped everything into the directories as instructed.
What am I missing?

Do you also installed the LibFredo6? It's clearly written in the very first post.
-
It appears to be an installation problem. Post a screen shot of your Plugins folder as well as the folders called CURVILOFT_Dir_12 and LIBFREDO_Dir_46.
-
Here are the three screen shots, I couldn't figure out how to embed them in the reply, sorry about that...
-
I also used the installer plugin to try to install both but with no luck. I've gotten other plugins to work using the same approach so I'm kind of stumped... Could it be a version issue?
-
As I said, it's an install error.
You have extracted all those curviloft... .rb files into the Plugins folder. They are loading at the wrong place. They should be in the curviloft folder. Go back to the first post and look at the Footprint of the plugin as described by Fredo.
I think if you delete all the curviloft .rb files you see in Plugins you'll probably be fine.

You can also use this utility to help you install ZIP packages correctly: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=42315
-
I get the same error after deleting.
I tried using the install utility as well, as was recommended in earlier posts. I pointed to the libfredo plugin zip first, followed by the curviloft plugin zip.
-
Can you show a current shot of your entire Plugins folder and the current contents of the Curviloft and LiFredo folders. You must still have something installed incorrectly or the plugin would work without errors.
You can upload your images to the forum by clicking on Upload Attachment below your text window.

Hi everyone, like some people i am having trouble with the plugin, below should be the screens of my plugin directory:
I added fredoscale and round corners with no problem, but when i downloaded these they have Z_loaders (ZLoader__FredoScale) with the curviloft download there is no Z_loader...is this the problem?
-
Look in Window>Preferences>Extensions and see if the box for Curviloft is checked. If it isn't, check it.
-
Just looked under extensions, curviloft does not appear on the list at all.
-
What version of Windows are you using? Please edit your profile to make that information useful. Do you have full administrative rights to install files into the Plugins folder? If not, change that and reinstall the files.
-
im using windows 7 and i have full administrative rights, the trouble is that curviloft is the only plugin that has not worked for me, could the missing Z_loader be the problem?

This shows that you do not have FULL access rights to your Plugins folder.
If you did they'd be no 'Compatibility Files' link on the bar.
Select your Sketchup folder's icon and right-click > context-menu > Properties [last item on the list] > Security [tab] - find you details and select the item > Edit [button]... set all permissions to be 'checked' == FULL.
You might need to be 'administrator' to do this effectively.
Being an administrator is not enough to ensure correct installation settings - even an 'admin' can have limited rights to folders within 'Program Files', which are causing you these problems.This permissions-set should ripple down through the folder's subfolders/files so that you can now add files/subfolders into the Plugins folder without the system hiding them in a subfolder without telling you, and thereby giving unexpected and perplexing results.
This 'fix' will also allow you to use save_as etc for Materials, Components and Styles into those Sketchup subfolders too... -

TIG beat me to it. But you don't have full administrative rights.
What missing z_loader? There isn't one for Curviloft.
-
It's quite possible to be an administrator and for you still not to have FULL rights to change some folders or files.
The system tries to protect things within folders like Program Files by limiting what you can do by default.
However you must reset the Sketchup folders to be 'FULL' to allow installation and save_as to work as desired...
