Curve to Ribbon
Video demo. Curve to Ribbon generates polygon mesh strips based on input curves. There are settings
for subdivision, thickness, center and offset as well as for the ribbon plane: XY,
XZ, YZ or auto. Works with multiple curves and even merged curves. Requirement: »keyvis Curve Tools« by Eugen Sares (moved directly below).

Curve To Ribbon
Hello,
I want share with you my last plugin.
It create ribbons from curves.
I use the offset command from the "keyvis Curve Tools" addon created by Eugen Sares.
It create a perfect base before the loft.
So, you need to have this addon already installed (but who did not ;) ?) if you want use mine.
"Curve To Ribbon" have a custom property witch drive all proxy parameters from the differents meshes/operators.
Quick video demo :
Cheers.

Re: Curve To Ribbon
He,
That's a neat little tool!
Thanks for sharing, much appreciated!

EDIT: Just tested it here, but getting python errors and an OLE message. It does create the curves, but no geometry.
SI 2013SP1, installed the .xsiaddon in a server workgroup.

Re: Curve To Ribbon
Thank you guys !
Can you give me your model for a test ?

Re: Curve To Ribbon
Hi,
didn't do anything special. created a sphere and created the curves like in the video.
after that ran your tool.
retried with a couple of restarts of SI as well, same result. I do run the SI internal python thingy btw..

Re: Curve To Ribbon
I also run SI internal Python.
Can you send me your log ?

This is what I get after selecting the extracted curve and running the tool:
Application.SelectObj("crvlist", "", "")

Re: Curve To Ribbon
It's seems that you don't have the "keyvis Curve Tools" addon installed.# AttributeError: Application.ApplyOffsetSubcurves
Can you check this ?
Re: Curve To Ribbon
Ah... that makes sense.
I misread your comment on the Keyvis Curve Tool. I was under the impression you used that part of the code.
But you use the plugin as well to get to this.
Problem solved! ;)

Re: Curve To Ribbon
Cool !
I use my own extract subcurves code but use the "ApplyOffsetSubcurves" command from the "keyvis Curve Tools" addon.
