Model > Curve Distribute between Vertices in Maya 2014

Statuspending

This is great tool! I've used it for many years with various versions of Maya, and I find it really helpful.

I'm using ZenTools in Maya 2014 for the first time, and I'm running into a problem. When a select some vertices and try to run Model > Curve Distribute between Vertices, I get this error:

// Error: file: .../maya/2014-x64/scripts/zen/mel/zenLoop.mel line 559: No object matches name:  //
// Error: file: .../maya/2014-x64/scripts/zen/mel/zenLoop.mel line 559: Error evaluating argument at position 1 in procedure "zenReturnFirstStringItem". // 

I am able to use Model > Loft Distribute between Edge Loops, but for some reason Curve Distribute does not work. Any ideas why this might be? Could it be something specific to Maya 2014?

    I had the same problem when using the arc function. What worked for me: I enabled not only the necessary plug ins from the bonus tools but ALL plugins to see if I was missing one that the script needs. Indeed now it works, even after i disabled everything I don't need. Not sure if this was pure Luck or if really a plugin wasnt enabled in the manager.

    EP instead of Arc worked for me as well. Using Maya 2018.4!

    I've been running into the same problem and don't know how to fix it. What does EP instead of Arc mean?

    So... Using the 'ARC', I got the same errors in Maya 2018.3. I then used the EP and it worked. I went back to the ARC and then the ARC worked. It has worked since then. I restarted Maya and the ARC worked the first time...

    I did what he did except in Maya 2019. Just an fyi to let you guys know this script still works in the latest Maya version.
     
    Cheers!
     
    P.S. -

    I'm not sure of the actual difference, but I believe it's just the difference in how the plugin calculates curves. Arc uses "Locators (found under the Maya Menu > Create)," whereas EP uses Maya's own inbuilt curve tool (Create > Curve Tools). Something like that. ^.^
