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

        Thanks TIG... 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.
        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.
            Thank you.

              This also works with the freehand tool in SU6, if anybody was wondering.

                        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.

                            For that use followme tool or followme_and_keep script... add lines to the profile to make a face then erase the 'back' edges to make the shape required. EEbyE works with non-coplanar profiles and paths, and non-contiguous edges in paths and profile[as FAK] - which isn't possible with traditional followme...

                              Hi TIG, Thank you for the gem..

                              could be me doing something wrong.. i noticed that if i draw a circle on any plane (as path) and an edge in elevation (profile), the script always considers the circle the path

                                  thats because the the script doesnt rotate the profile along the path so it apears as if the circle is being extruded, to which TIG will reply: if you want that function use Follow Me or Follow me and Keep.

                                  Tig: it seems people would really really like that function πŸ˜„ πŸ‘

                                    And if you want multiple curves along a path use "Simple-Loft" by Chris Fullmer πŸ˜‰

                                    The extrudeEdgesbyEgdes is for particular uses as sections are always parallel!

                                          Did you notice the plugin will displace the resulting group a distance away from the originating groups? I don't know if this is a random distance or a proportional distance, or if it is dependent on the geometry of the originating elements. This is just an observation, and not necessarily a problem.
