      I must be doing something wrong. It doesnt seem to go for me. I am trying to test a shape around a helix form. I select all, select FAK and . . .nothing. In fact I get a Splat.

      Any ideas? ❓

      If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

        It is not working for me either. I downloaded the later FAK.rb posted and the bit count was the same, just the date had changed. I even grouped the path-no dice.
        Ended up using native followme and cleaned up.

        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

          No special problem with helix except a big time to calculate 💚

            do you have the construction point in place? it's treated as the align point (see original post of this thread)..

            if you don't have a construction point laying around, get it here:
            constpoint.skp

            if you do have the point in place already then i have no clue what the problem is..

              The last FollowMe and Keep requires no construction point. It adds one automagically.

                😳 uh.... ooops 😄

                [edit] even worse, i have the latest version and i've still been putting the point in there manually 😆

                  Worse yet, and a big Duh!

                  I spent $4 in Smustard.com just to buy the "put construction point" tool, only to discover later that Didier Bur's projections toolbar has a much better version, it's free... and after all, I no longer need a construction point to use FollowMe and Keep!

                    you have inside 1001bits an another followme and keep 😉
                    Very long calculation too ! Maybe the helix is some hard to follow?

                          I think I got it to work without adding any point. It took a sec to calculate, butTa-DaH! Good little plugin. Thanks 👍

                              I'm afraid this is a stupid question but how do I get your plugin file downloaded? It's an .rar file and I'm not sure how to get it into a usable (.rb) format for Sketchup to use.

                              Thanks!

                                .rar is like a .zip file, except that most normal users never have to deal with it. So its a bit painful for most of us to have to "unrar" a file, since having a rar utility is not common... <dislikes rar for day to day uses like this, just zip it!>

                                So the answer is to install winrar or even the new version of winzip might handle rar formats. Once you install a rar software, you just open the .rar file and it will have .rb files and maybe folders inside of it. Then copy those to your plugins folder.

                                Good luck. Wiikii, if your out there, mind hosting a non-rar version on the front page? Or do you care if a moderator addds it for you?

                                    Hi, using 7Zip freeware you can unzip without any problems both .rar/.zip files and other compressed formats too.

                                        Great Ruby!!! My only problem is I cant get my crown to be smooth! The Crown molding is Welded, and is smooth when i use the FollowMFolow me and keep test.skpe tool. Just not when I use this Ruby. (Im kinda new at this, Thank you)

                                          Could you upload the molding profile? The file you uploaded has it fulll of many extra interior faces, which makes me think maybe something is wrong with the profile.

                                            Yeah, a bunch of internal faces. Not a big deal to delete them however - just keep hovering over with (say) the PushPull tool and hitting Delete.
