Whoa, boy. Sit down. Relax. Get away from the stimulant drinks.

Did it leave a mark on your forehead?

Rich O Brien

A Punchuation Mark?

Imagine how fast you'll be at this stuff when you don't have to actually type. You'll be able to think what you want and your fingers won't have to be the go-between.

OCZ OCZMSNIA Neural Impulse Actuator $99.99

"There are a number of sensors installed in the headband to read your brain wave signal, and convert them into control signals. Working with the nia’s calibration program, the Actuator captures a variety of signals, such as facial muscle movement, eye movement, brain Alpha waves and Beta waves to control the game. So you can launch the desired behavior and shoot with the "blink of an eye", without lifting a finger."

AAAAAAh ! Ok but that was not "Google Bezier" but "Bezier" short

Yes - but since there was other bezier tools out there I added "Google's" to the title, so there would be no confusion...

thomas,

would you mind explaining a bit more what this is all about? what google bezier plugin? where is it? what is the problem with it? etc.

thanks.

EDIT: sorry, I jumped from the first page to here without looking at the intervening posts. is this "official" plugin any good?

One of the plugins Google has had available for download is a Bezier tool - let you draw Bezier curves. It came before Fredo made his excellent collection of Spline tools.
Googles plugin is availible from the link Jeff linked to: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=30973&start=15#p274374

The problem was that due to a SU8 bug in the API you could not edit the curves any more. I simply added a small workaround to make it function again.

thanks, thomas. but what is the correct procedure: to have both installed or just your fix?

thomthom

Overwrite the old file - if you have it.
Though only needed if you are using SU8. (And not using Fredo's power pack... )

Dave R

Thomas, I apologize for creating such a mess for you. I didn't realize there were so many people who had no idea of Bezier.rb. I've had it for so long I don't remember where I downloaded it from. I still use it along with Fredo's excellent BZ tools.

thomthom

No worries!

Jim

I think the bug which caused the original bezier.rb to fail has been fixed in the SketchUp 8 M1 (8.0.4811) release.

Although this (Thom's) version will still work in version 8 M1, and the original should work again.

Although this version, as well as the original should both work now.

Correct.

irwanwr

thank you both Jim and Thomas,
so that's why i still can use bezier.rb normally
because i use SketchUp 8.0.4811
i was thinking to erase the one that i already have after reading this topic
