I have the 2024 version. where do I find the free extension for making simple spline lines?
There’s a free Bezier Curve tool in the Extension Warehouse. Do a search and let SketchUp install it
Sorry Dave but there is not! I searched that exact phrase " free Bezier Curve tool" and the search came up empty. What am I missing? I am a beginner in this and have just paid money for SketchUp Pro. I have experience in AutoCAD and you just don’t run into these problems. I just want to be able to draw simple 2d spline lines. How do I do it? Please give me step by step
I installed s4u-Import DXF, which directly referenced the term Spline Lines, however when I bring it up on my drawing and I click on it, it asks for a file name? what’s that all about? is this extension even useful to me as a beginner?
I finally got it, and your are right! it shouldn’t be rocket surgery but the search in the extension market is not intuitive at all. The choice that you indicate on your reply told me that my SketchUp version did not support this selection. I went ahead and did it anyways and couldn’t locate it anywhere. I expected a tool tray of some sort, so I uninstalled and tried others only to find out they are tools that allow, or join the spline that is already created. I went back and installed it again and I found it listed under draw. The frustration comes from not being able to know just what to download and then where to look. That is why i was asking for a step by step instruction. Thanks
I don’t know why. Searching for Bezier Curve brings up the extension.
The instructions on the Bezier Curve’s page in the Extension Warehouse shows where to find it and step-by-step how to use it.
I didn’t search with the word “curve” I searched with the word Bezier spline, but I had asked before I joined the forum and could never get a straight answer from any of the videos. they covered the spline itself but not how to get it from the market.
There is an extension called Bezier Spline. It isn’t free and isn’t available in the Extension Warehouse but it is much more powerful than the Bezier Curve extension. There’s another one by the same autor as Bezier Spline called FredoSpline. Both are available from the Sketchucation ExtensionStore.
I am just an infant at this point but I can see the possibilities, and I am excited to get proficient. I can also see its gonna be a bumpy road. Thanks for your help
