Hi Joe,

Charly

Charly,
THANK YOU. The key apparently was "...has to be ungrouped!"

Hi Joseph,

I can not explain why but for me it works fine. Try it once with the attached file

Charly

Thank you Charly,
I can the desired results with curves and other shapes but not the "helix". I can not get the program to recognize the helix as the second line selection. How are you generating the helix?
Again, thank you.
Joe

I can not convert the cone to a helix shape. I can produce the desired results for an arc be not the helix. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Joe

Several years ago I saw a tutorial for drawing a ram's horn. I can no longer find the tutorial and
would really appreciate any information on drawing curved horns.
Thank you
Joe

The folder for 'LibFredo...' that is shown in your plugins folder looks like it's the 'container' - i.e. the folder that's created when you extract the zip-file's contents.
You do not put that into the plugins folder, rather you put its contents into the plugins folder.
So... in that folder there will be a .rb file and a subfolder with a similar name to 'LibFredo...'.
That .rb file and the subfolder should both be in the plugins folder !
Leave any files in the subfolder where they are - i.e. inside the subfolder, which is in the plugins folder.
So it looks like you have not extracted the Lib's file/subfolder properly.
Your Safari settings might be extracting zips as they download, which can be confusing...
But the CurviLoft stuff looks OK

THANK YOU - Everything seems to working fine. If you are every in Alaska and in the Fairbanks area - let me know - I owe you BIG TIME! Thank you again.

You have got the required 'FredoLib' folder of support files etc, haven't you?
Can you post a screen-shot your 'plugins' folder/subfolders/files...
Remember that the 'plugins' folder should be the one in the Mac HD 'root' lib folder path and not a 'user' one.
Also note that depending on your settings Safari can unzip things as they arrive, confusing Mac users who then try to #unpack' things further than they need to be...
As a Newbie why aren't you trying v8 ?
That has possibilities of automating the installation process...

I am using version 8. Sorry, missed that part of your initial response. Again, I appreciate all the help.

Thank you. The downloaded files were copied then pasted to the plugin folder. I must be missing something, but, haven't been able to figure it out. Your help is really appreciated.
Joe

I've read and re-read the various threads about installing and activating curviloft. It appears all the required files are in the plugging folder, but still nothing. PLEASE - HELP!
