BSurfaces Error

[kriskendallvfx (kriskendall99)]

I’m trying to retopologize a mesh with BSurfaces, but every time I do, I get this error:

I’ve heard that there are specific settings that you have to use to get the addon to work. Here are the steps that I’ve tried:

1. Switched Grease Pencil Data Source to Object.
2. Switched Stroke Placement to Surface.
3. Drew strokes in Object Mode
4. Switched to Edit Mode
5. Went to Misc>Bsurfaces>Add Surface

After doing these steps, I get the same error every time. Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with the addon itself?

I’m using Blender 2.78, by the way.

likely.

Do you have any ideas as to what I’m doing wrong?

No. This is how I did it, compare it to what you’re doing.

Blender, bsurfaces (not a tutorial)

Bsurfaces takes what order of strokes you’ve drawn. So it’s the best you do not have 3rd stroke drawn in the middle of the first two .

Even if I draw only two strokes, the same error occurs.

No. This is how I did it, compare it to what you’re doing.

I did exactly what you’re doing (added Suzanne with three subdivisions, added a cube, deleted the cube, drew strokes in Edit Mode, checked Keep Strokes) and I still get the same error.

Solved the issue. It was in the fact that I had BSurfaces installed in two places on my computer. Maybe it’s bundled with Blender and I didn’t realize it, so I installed another one on top of that, causing the issue. I deleted the one I installed and now it works.
