          Me gusta este pluguin,se ve interesante, pero lo veo un poco complicado y de poco uso en Arquitectura, no sΓ© si en otras carreras sea tan ΓΊtil. Voy a buscarle una funciΓ³n. gracias Oxer.

                  I feel like a 5 year old. The geometric forms created are gorgeous and I haven't the faintest idea how to use this.

                        Very cool plugin!
                        But a progress bar could be very helpful. Because I 've installed it and by performing the plugin it seems to take hours to generate a surface and I don't know if it is really working!

                        I've waited for more than 25 minutes for a simple eqation so I have to give up finally...
                        In other words, I can't get it work in my sketchup 8.

                            I figured out that SurfaceGen has a conflict with another plugin calls 'Modelfuction'.
                            If you get Modelfuction installed in your sketchup, you can see the pop-up window by applying Surfacegen, but it will not create any surface.
                            I have uninstalled Modelfunction now and SurfaceGen works well!

                            By the way this is really a awesome plugin. So it would be perfect if the author can get rid of the conflict with other plugins...

                              I far as I can see SurfaceGen does not use any unusual methods or interfere with base/built-in classes/methods. However, Modelfunction may well do that - there are a few scripts will ill-advisedly mess with these and thereby they affect other tools unpredictably [often messing with 'group', 'face' etc].
                              As Modelfunction is a paid tool [and you must be a customer] I suggest you contact the author direct to get him to fix his code...

                                I haven't posted in ages, but I just noticed that there was a way I could improve the speed of this plugin. The new version only calls "eval" once to create a proc object which it then calls repeatedly, so it shouldn't have to keep parsing the expression each time.

                                  I added version number and time of update to the thread title so it's easier to see the change when scanning the thread titles - also the Plugin Index works better then.

                                      Wonderful tool, Diggsey. Many thanks. Nice that folks are sharing their settings. I wish someone with the appropriate skills or not would chart up some many examples, something like the pic below, and/or list many equations to experiment with. I do not have those skills. I had modeled something like the intersecting sine waves not long ago manually... tch, tch.
