      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...

      did you find any solution for this error?

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

            From the instructions...

            flowify_target.JPG

            Your target surface isn't suitable.

                          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.


                            INPUT ERROR

                              n hong, Flowify might not be the best tool for what you want to do. Iโ€™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 โ€œCopy Along Curveโ€ by Anton S.

                                  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.

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

                                        ...you can go like this too

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

                                            I believe it's not 4 + X = group
