Hey Kiril, didn't know where to post this so that it would be easier, so i thought id post on both.
the 2 faces and path tool only works for faces along 1 path. is it possible to blend two lines (or splines) along a path ?
heres an example.

Kiril, i have a question. I really like both your plugins - blend and path to face. I noticed on a thread that you have the ability to blend segments instead of simply geometry for the blend plugin. Is it possible to do the same with the path blend tool - i.e. blend 2 paths along another path?
just for reference, here's an example
Tig, is the extrude edges by rails going to be something that has the ability to morph 2 different polylines into each other across another polyline? Much like a cross between Chris Fullmers loft plugin and your extrude edges by edges?
Btw, just curious, how long does it usually take to program something like this? I'm amazed at all your and everyone else's work!!!! Thanks again.
Chris! you were right afterall...removed sketchy physics and component spray and voilaaa!! it works!!!
I will try installing a new version of component spray (v.1.1?) and sketchy physics. Maybe theres a newer version? Thanks a lot for all your hard work and attention!

Hey Chris,
I have done just like you said, i even tried the other way, and i got an error saying that it couldn't find the clf_shape_bender.rb via the loader. The file is the same as the example you show in the video - the shape is grouped, under it a line and an arc that it is to bend to. Just in case i can upload the file itself. btw, in the bottom menu when it gets stuck it tells me that it is search for objects to explode (don't really know what that means, perhaps it can help?)
also, could it be possible that it might conflict with another plugin? Like profile builder for example?
Thanks in advance.

i also tried doing it on a previous version of sketchup (6.0) and on a different computer.
Here are the specs for computer 1
Intel Core 2 duo, 3 gigs ram, 250 gigs hd, ATI radeon hd 2300
Computer 2
Amd dual core 2200, 1 gig of ram, nvidia geforce 9700 gts
Perhaps i am installing it incorrectly?
No problem, just tried to load it up again just like you said from the icon this time. i wasn't sure how far up i was supposed to go in the log, but i did notice that whenever i moved my mouse after i specified the arc's and lines new code started showing up in the dialogue, so i had to cancel it right after i pressed enter in order for it to load. maybe a screen shot might help too. Btw, i don't have any errors as soon as i open up Sketchup either. Is it possible i might need to reinstall Sketch up?

Hey Chris,
Love your plugins again! I've been trying to play around with shape bender, but unfortunately haven't been able to get it to work. The problem is that it gets stuck after i choose the arc to bend it on and shortly afterwards it asks for me to press enter, however when i do, nothing happens, it just gets stuck at 1% (and i'm repeating the bending of a regular box example). I checked the console and this is what it printed out. Also, the visual bending simulation didn't show up as it did in your videos and every part of the plugin is in the right place - meaning clf_shape_bender_loader.rb is in the main plugins directory while clf_shape_bender has its own folder with the rest of the icons/ruby file. If you would like, i can also supply a screen shot.
