Use Curviloft to make the skin, then JPP to give it thickness. | | SubD | Subdivision modeling (smoothing low-poly cages) | Alternative. SubD smooths meshes, but requires clean quads.

You installed Curviloft but forgot to install LibFredo6, or the LibFredo6 version is too new/old. Re-verify your versions on SketchUcation.
SketchUp 2015 uses an older Ruby API environment compared to modern subscription versions. To make Curviloft run smoothly without crashing, you must install the exact matching support files. 1. The Core Extension: LibFredo6 curviloft plugin sketchup 2015 66
One of the best features of Curviloft is the real-time preview. Before finalizing the surface, you can see exactly how it will look. Use the orange "reverse" arrow to cycle through options or go back to the selection phase to tweak profiles.
You will not find an official "Curviloft v66" on Fredo6’s official forum (SketchUcation). The standard public versions were , 1.8a , 1.8d , and 1.9a . | | Best For | Comparison to Curviloft
: Similar to SketchUp's native "Follow Me" tool, but far more advanced. It allows you to loft multiple different shapes along a single rail curve, enabling transitions from a square to a circle over a curved path.

Generates a continuous, smooth surface by seamlessly joining separate open or closed contours.
The plugin for SketchUp 2015, developed by Fredo6, is a powerful organic modeling extension designed to generate surfaces (skins) from existing contours. It is a staple for users needing to create complex, non-geometric shapes that the standard native tools cannot easily produce. Primary Modeling Tools
Created by the legendary extension developer Fredo6 , Curviloft solves one of SketchUp's oldest limitations: the inability to easily generate smooth, non-planar skins and lofts natively.
Unlike native tools, Curviloft allows the profile to scale, rotate, or morph into a completely different shape as it travels down the path. You can start with a square profile, morph it into a star in the middle of the bend, and end with a circle. 3. Skinning (Boundary Surface Generation)
