      OK TIG, that's what I meant. In fact, I'd probably not need it for coplanar curves (I can't really imagine a situation like that when it's needed butof course, who knows) but definitely something other than perpendicular can be handy.

      Even better this "freedom" of the different elements in the groups (I guess that's why they are grouped but I wou;ldn't understand the answer anyway πŸ˜„ )

      If you don't mind... 😳

        Tip: single lines and arcs won't group, so draw another edge,
        then group everything, edit the group and erase the temporary
        edge...

        Seems it's not necessary! πŸ˜‰ (line, arc)
        Just go Menu Edit / Group for each object! πŸ˜‰
        Then launch the plug

        I find that single lines or arcs won't group, but drawing another temporary line with it then grouping, then editing the group and deleting the temporary line seems to work to give a single arc group... It's because I use ashortcut key that isn't available on a single selection, BUT the Menu Edit >> Make-Group item is still OK... So if you can group single arcs via the menu without a hitch then that's great...
        Any ideas on improvements or clever uses welcomed...

          Works like a charm! Bravo! 😎
          Here with 2 arcs without "another edge"! πŸ˜‰

                I noticed it actually does not follow and rotate along the path. Although interesting proposition, and it works without any problems, it would be usefull if it coud also work in manner that can be predictable in design terms.

                  I pushed it with a lot of geometry and it seems very stable. It performs orienting and reversing faces without problem. Triangulation did not make any problems as well. πŸ‘ πŸ‘

                    One can add a point too and then group. β˜€

                      It doesn't matter what's in the groups - only edges get processed...

                        This tool extrudes edges by edges without rotation. If you want rotation use followme tool or followme_and_keep script: you'll need to make the profile faced first by adding a back set of lines - you also need to unhide/unsmooth all edges to get a 'mesh'... The advantage of extrudeEdgesByEdges is that the profile and path can be in complex in 3D and also not continuous...

                            This was the subject of one of my first wishful posts. "Extrude" a curve along a curve.
                            Excellent work!!!! This is another one of those jaw droppers. We're gonna have you bronzed. Plotparis will jump out of his seat when he sees this.

                                        Hi TIG! Instead\in addition to(?) of consistant orientation mode (in the center: extrudeEdgesByEdges.rb) It'd be perfect to get the one of profiles get turned along another one (the right example: push-pull+eraser)
                                        Thanks.
