Trying to work out a way to build a surface between non-parallel lines. I've got an attachment here to show what I'm working with - basically, I've got four straight lines connecting to each other, none of which is parallel to any of the others. I want a smooth curve, but all I get is a corrugated surface or a sharp angle formed from a line directly bisecting the region. Or a stalled plugin.
Trying to complete the missing side of this, basically.

But I can't get Sketchup to recognize the faces thus drawn as being separate from the surface they were drawn on. It continues to treat the thing as one whole face.
You still need to make the surface on which you are drawing a group or component first. It's the same as if you were using the native tools to draw on a surface.
I'm sorry, Dave, but that makes no sense to me at all. If I make the target surface a Group it doesn't change the behavior at all.
One thing I did figure out is that I had the option to make the output a group turned on, which is why it wasn't integrating with the surface properly. If I turn that off, however, it seems to behave badly with the geometry of the surface and I get random triangles disappearing on the edges. It does, however, at least recognize the surface enclosed by the drawn object as separate from the outside.
Don't know what I'm doing wrong here.
This plugin is a great idea. If I could get it to work properly I'd love it.
But so far I'm just getting more frustrated.
It loads properly. No errors. I can draw whatever I like on curved surfaces with it without any problems.

I'm on SU2017Make with LibFredo 7.5 on Windows 10, if it matters.
