Help with creating this ribbon structure please

In the last video, did you weld the 2 curves? I couldnt tell exactly what you were doing. Also, are you using an older version of SKP? The toolbar editor doesnt work on 24… or does it?

I welded the segments to create the curves.
I used SU2022, but that shape can be made in Make 2017 or Pro 2024 just as well.

Toolbar Editor offers you a custom toolbar with icons from different plugins/extensions, but it is not mandatory to use it, you can use the extensions without problems.

Do you have any suggestions or can point me in the right direction for best practice on how I can improve modelling with FredoSpline? What I mean is that I’ll model the geometry, but when I use Curviloft, I can’t get a good grid like skin. Then using Joint Push Pull doesn’t produce good results when I try to thicken the surface? Hope that makes sense. Thank you.

On a different note, Tools Editor appears as an error in SU 2024 and can’t use it :confused:

Id like to use it. I installed it on 23 about a month before 24 came out…
Im hoping that dev updates it for 24 but so far has not yet.

The vids are great btw, very helpful not just to the OP.

Watch tutorials, do a lot of practice and think of ways in which you can improve your technique of using the options that the extension offers.

I already wrote that it is not necessary. In the present case, to select the edges I used SketchUV > Path Select Tool

I know its not necessary. I WANT to use it. I used it in 23 and its great for clearing the clutter of tons of toolbars. Fredo has a similar one (lord of the toolbars- i believe) but im not a fan of the fredo one.

I quoted the text for which I gave an answer to each one separately, and I answered @gloriettequartet about the Toolbar.

What and how you use it is only your business and I have nothing to comment on.
