Problem with Curviloft, SOAPSKIN: after I finished making by "skeleton" by rails and cross ties, I was happily using Curviloft or SOAKSKIN, depending upon the geometry, to skin my model. After performing this exercise a number of times--remember that when done the area is now grouped--I would explode the group and go onto the next "pane" to be filled in. But then when I went to explode this newly formed group, which I had happily done without problems, heretofore, the context menu did not allow me to explode as explode became unavailable: it was there but I could not select it.
What did I do wrong? Is there another way to explode other than the context menu? I do I proceed? I am at my wits end (I have short wits, I guess). I am using Pro c. 2022.

How to bend a voronoi surface: flat to curved?
I want to make a curved surface with voronoi structure. The voronoi software seems to work only on flat surfaces. How do I go about bending a voronoi pattern flat surface to conform to a bendy surface e.g. a spoon or an egg?

Making a "mesh" of printable fibers
I want to buy a printer that prints in fiber, say kevlar. I want to make a stocking so that I can use a "clutch" to tighten it up. I have no idea how to go about designing this "mesh" of fibers. Will someone point me to a reference or video on how this might be accomplised.?

RE: Give that child a hand, brace
Box, you are brilliant. It worked!
Thank you so much and anyone else who even tried to think of a solution. I has made an amazing difference in this kid's pain level. -
Give that child a hand, brace
I need to make a brace for a contracted toddler who is very contracted and frail. The brace would be the hand and forearm. The brace would extend from a "half pipe" supporting the forearm to the hand. The hand is contracted into a fist now, but I can extend the fingers and palm so that the hand would look kinda like it is holding a glass of water--so that she can grow into a more or less "normal" hand position. My problem is to use the hand model I have to make the palm and fingers "fit" into custom grooves to maintain the drinking position mentioned above; keeping the fingers curved a little and spread would decrease her pain a lot. I don't have the pro version to subtract the palm and fingers from the solid block to make it custom, so I need some "workaround" help. But once done, I could easily fit the forearm "halfpipe" onto the hand to complete the brace. Any help would be help me help my patient.

Problems with polygons
I just downloaded and began to use SU2015. I cannot make a circle or other polygon. I did just what I did in earlier versions, but when I click to change the diameter, it disappears. Is there a setting I need to change?

SketchyFFD problem
SketchyFFD.rb exists in my plugins folder. How do I use it now? I see no icon for me to click on. AND if you have a comment on the use of SketchyFFD, I would appreciate hearing it, for I have Tgi3d, and it works well, but the tutorials on SketchyFFD seem much more interactive and useful to my project. Any help is really appreciated.

References to apply scaffolding to model to print it
My planar spoon collapses during the print process. Apparently this is a common problem. Is there a secret or common method or software to solve this problem?
