      Thank you Caul. fantastic extension.

      on my pc the impose grid has no effect on the plane.

      hence flowify shows errors (but at least it fires), got the 3 groups in place etc.
      tried with a default plugins set up (flowify the only extension). no success.

      attach the sample, in case someone can see any blindspots...

      the tutorials were some of the best i've seen. 👍 👍

      %(#BF0080)[EDIT: 😳 i think i made a mistake. i thought i could place the lines a bit inside the group, not always on the extremities. sorry the false alarm! 😄]

      EDIT 2: %(#FF0000)[OUT OF THIS WORLD! 😆]

        This is the most amazing thing I've seen in a while. Brilliant! I've been following a little... but, just took the time to really look at this. I can't believe what this does for workflow! I'm sharing this with friends... people have GOT to know about this.

        Unless... of course... I'm the last one of my friends to start paying attention... either way. I'm really excited to use this. Thank you for sharing with us.

          Hello Caul! I like it. I watched videos again many times, but I could not use it.
          Please, share SketchUp files of examples with us. So everyone will know better. Thank you.

                  Would it be possible to have timer while flowify calculates?

                      @pilou

                      "Render real time by the free Visualizer 1.3"

                      this is not right..the version you must pay

                      here a part of the main page

                      https://www.getvisualizer.com/

                      **"Why is it now free?
                      [b]ooops i have read "not" and not "now"

                      As part of Imagination Technologies’ longer term plans and investment to bring interactive ray-tracing to a mainstream mobile audience , we’ve decided to focus the Visualizer development team’s expertise on helping us bring a new generation of graphics chip technology to market. Unfortunately, there’s so much to do we’ve had to do this at the expense of ceasing all further development of the Visualizer product line.

                      Our final release 1.3 of Visualizer for SketchUp is the most capable yet, and we think every one of our thousands of Visualizer fans will want to use it. We have no plan for further changes to Visualizer for SketchUp beyond our 1.3 release."**[/b]

                      ~~i´m not really sure, however maxwell for sketchup have a free version.

                      if you show renderings with Viz 1.3 than pay this please..provide the developer in this new project.
                      19.90 euro is not really expansive.. and you can better sleep if you use a registered version.

                      i know many developer here.. give away some plugins for free..however keep in mind...writing code, bugfixing etc. is lifetime, too..and many plugins are free and have safe my time... freeware is a good will...

                      example: if eneroth would work for the Townhouse System i would pay this. however Eneroth have actually not many time for this project.. im unhappy about this...however this is eneroth life time.
                      spend time is everytime a good will.. and when the plugin doing a good job..i can pay this..and i can sleeping well.~~

                        Have I missed something in the comments or is Visualizer 1.3 off topic?

                                  I've tried some examples downloaded from here, but I always get the message:
                                  "INPUT ERROR: Not enough Input".
                                  Can somebody please help

                                  Thanks in advance

                                    You must have BOTH the support group and the source geometry selected before running Flowify. Below is a screen shot (from the example file) of what this looks like.

                                        Absolutely brilliant. And Hide Overlapping Geometry Removal as well. Great time saving when rendering. Thank you!

                                            Hey, brilliant plugin!

                                            I can finally make complex lattice structures with the aid of Bezierspline and Curviloft...many possibilities for pseudo-parametric facades and forms as well (for the architects among us).

                                            One minor bug I've found - I'm not sure how to describe it in words but there are some geometries that go jagged when mapping to a steeply curved surface - have a look at these screenshots.

                                            The SketchUp file (I'm using SU Pro 2015) is too big to post here, but let me know of a way to send it to you if it helps...

                                            Cheers
                                            Joel


                                            Support group + array of components + target surface


                                            Some of the mapped geometry becomes jagged after Flowify :(


                                            What I'm trying to achieve...
