Flowify problems

[pilou]

could you please explain in detail why a quad mesh is required?

You can't project something with Flowify on a complete sphere 3D!

But yes if you make a little triming somewhere like that!
You have now a "quad" surface!

hi I have an issue also with flowify, it is not working and I dont know if it is because of my mistakes or plugin's issue because when i checked my extension manager, there's a text in the flowify says UNSIGNED. May I know what does it mean and if that was the reason why i couldnt work with flowify )) thank you

[cotty]

It's not the reason
you can upload the model and we will have a look at it...

[Dave R]

...there's a text in the flowify says UNSIGNED.

Signed or unsigned has no bearing on the functionality of the extension.

As Cotty, suggests, share your .skp file so we can see what you are working with and what steps you need to take to sort it out.

I have a strange behaviour too...
The flowify command generates a huge model, with an array of sectional faces.

First the source material: Group 1 composed of A target surface / B source surface / C projection vectors and D the source mesh (exploded)

flowify B.JPG

The resulting groups from the flowify command

I succeeded all the other meshes with the same method but here I've got a bug...

did you find any solution for this error?

What version of SketchUp are you using? Your profile says 2021 Free/Make which is impossible.

From the instructions...

Your target surface isn't suitable.

[MrKrabs]

is there any way to make it suitable?

Hi Pilou, No unfortunately mine is a 2022 version How else can we do this?

[pilou]

I suppose that you have choice when you make an exportation...(save as)

[Rich O Brien]

Meanwhile back in 2022...

The Error message Flowify is outputting is telling you the problem. Your source and destination should share some level of topological similarities.

Hi, i'm currently having trouble with Flowify.
I'm trying to place wall studs on a curvature wall but this input error keeps popping up.
I'll appreciate it if someone could help.

[tuna1957]

n hong, Flowify might not be the best tool for what you want to do. I’m not a Flowify expert but my tests end up distorting the shape of the wall studs. Your might be better off using something like “Copy Along Curve” by Anton S.

[mingjawaz]

Can someone help me to solve this flowify problem. Why i cant use the flowify even i have followed the steps of group things

[Rich O Brien]

The projection plane is either an empty rectangular face or a flat custom made quad grid with the same topology as the target surface.

Your target mesh is not Quad Grid.

You've some work to do
