Flowify problems

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

[attachment=2:17yhee20]<!-- ia2 -->flowify A.JPG<!-- ia2 -->[/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]<!-- ia1 -->flowify B.JPG<!-- ia1 -->[/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...

What version of SketchUp are you using? Your profile says 2021 Free/Make which is impossible.

From the instructions...

Your target surface isn't suitable.

[MrKrabs]

is there any way to make it suitable?

Hi Pilou, No unfortunately mine is a 2022 version How else can we do this?

[pilou]

I suppose that you have choice when you make an exportation...(save as)

Meanwhile back in 2022...

The Error message Flowify is outputting is telling you the problem. Your source and destination should share some level of topological similarities.

Hi, i'm currently having trouble with Flowify.
I'm trying to place wall studs on a curvature wall but this input error keeps popping up.
I'll appreciate it if someone could help.

n hong, Flowify might not be the best tool for what you want to do. I’m not a Flowify expert but my tests end up distorting the shape of the wall studs. Your might be better off using something like “Copy Along Curve” by Anton S.

Can someone help me to solve this flowify problem. Why i cant use the flowify even i have followed the steps of group things

Sketchup 2020

The projection plane is either an empty rectangular face or a flat custom made quad grid with the same topology as the target surface.

Your target mesh is not Quad Grid.

You've some work to do

[meerhumzakhan]

HELP!!!! I have done following steps and got the error in the end.

1=group
2=group
3=group
1+2+3=group (let's call it "X")
imposed grid=Ok
4=group
4+X=group
====> flowify====> not enough input error

[Rich O Brien]

The source and target need same topology and the support should be aligned as shown above

[Rich O Brien]

I lied...

...you can go like this too

So something in your setup is not right. Could be nesting order or topology...

[panixia]

@Rich The text in your example is pure genius

[pilou]

I believe it's not 4 + X = group
but 4 + X = Select!
Then call Flowify!
