Flowify problems

Better to cover the maximum range!
It's the same time to make (1 second)

Yeah, but if you ask something that seems outrageous then people will be less likely to follow the advise.

They want advices so they will make all for that!

But before use the Curviloft by Fredo , use other Tools by Fredo for transform your 4 curves of the ending surface! (Bezier tools (?) )

Don't touch the 2 verticals (depend of number of segments you want but as it's vertical straight lines...)
Transform Curve in PolyLine (Right Click / ) (upper & bottom curves)
then Segmentor of Polyline (upper & bottom curves)
(for example take 10 segments for upper and bottom Polylines - you can move some points if you want)

then you will obtain that in Curviloft (third icon "Skin contour" )

You will obtain a better result! ( 1 minute & 30 seconds) (start surface (C) can be the exact straight rectangle projection of the start volumes (E))

Ps You must also clean your original object!

I have a problem utilizing the flowify plugin, and I think its the density that's the problem, can you tell me a work around for that issue... I have used flowify successfully multiple times so I know the selection or the group isn't the problem... It would be wonderful If you could help me out...

Please help

You need a quad mesh to be able to map it to the flat surface... but there will more work to do to make it a "nice" solid...

could you please explain in detail why a quad mesh is required?

Because it's a requirement in the second sentence of the plugin description?

"The extension bends geometry along quad surfaces."

You can't project something with Flowify on a complete sphere 3D!

But yes if you make a little triming somewhere like that!
You have now a "quad" surface!

After exploding the pyramids in the source geometry group, it's working...

hi I have an issue also with flowify, it is not working and I dont know if it is because of my mistakes or plugin's issue because when i checked my extension manager, there's a text in the flowify says UNSIGNED. May I know what does it mean and if that was the reason why i couldnt work with flowify )) thank you

cotty · 6 Dec 2020, 15:29

It's not the reason
you can upload the model and we will have a look at it...

Signed or unsigned has no bearing on the functionality of the extension.

As Cotty, suggests, share your .skp file so we can see what you are working with and what steps you need to take to sort it out.

I have a strange behaviour too...
The flowify command generates a huge model, with an array of sectional faces.

[attachment=2:17yhee20]flowify A.JPG[/attachment:17yhee20]
First the source material: Group 1 composed of A target surface / B source surface / C projection vectors and D the source mesh (exploded)

[attachment=1:17yhee20]flowify B.JPG[/attachment:17yhee20]
The resulting groups from the flowify command

I succeeded all the other meshes with the same method but here I've got a bug...

did you find any solution for this error?
