    • RE: [Plugin] Shape Bender Beta

      I actually don't recall which ones, sorry. Not from this site, I found them elsewhere before I found SketchUcation. Everything I need seems to be here or referenced here. Strangely though, all other plugins I had in the Tools folder seemed to work.
      Thanks for the help.
      My goal was to take a 3d wall carving and wrap it around a post for cutting on a 4 axis cnc router. This should work very well. thanks for this great plugin!

      So I'm learning. Many of the plugins I have picked up had instructions for placing in the tools folder. I will remedy that on my end.

      Thanks TIG. if progressbar.rb is not installed there is normally an error when the shape bender is started. the issue I had was putting everything in the TOOLS folder, not the PLUGINS folder.
      Dropped the clf_shape_bender folder and progressbar.rb into the plugins folder, retarted SU8 and all works fine now. Many thanks

      This tool looks incredible! I haven't gotten it to work yet, though. I have created a ramp and an arc and a line that stretches the length of the ramp - the line is on the red axis as the instructions indicate. I select the component (the ramp), then I select the shape bender tool and then try to select the single line. It doesn't seem to recognize the line - or anything once I've selected the shape bender tool.

      Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

      I have the same issue. I have an object(in this case some simple 3d text). I have a curve. I have a line on the red axis.
      I select the object, hit the bend button, and cannot do anything else. It won't let me click a line or otherwise.
      With the ruby console open, I get this message repeating on mouse move or clicks:
      Error: #<TypeError: can't convert nil into String>

      I am using the free version of SU8.0.14346
      I get the same issue on SU7
