        On the face of it, it looks like you aren't making a set of edges and grouping them as the 'profile', and also a set of edges and grouping them as the 'path'... Do this, then select the two groups and run the tool... The error message is telling you you haven't selected two groups...

        If you have other problems then please expand in your explanation...

            This is an astounding plugin, I've already found myself using it on lots of 'ordinary' tasks where usually I would have had to stuff around for ages with followme, copypaste, etc.
            Thank you very much Tig.

              Edit ๐Ÿ˜„
              Seems there is something wrong in the "Zoom" ๐Ÿ˜‰

              That don't work ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
              zoom out must be made before the first dialog box "Orient faces"
              Without that zoom don't work even at the end ๐Ÿ˜„
              (I have of course the 1.5)

                Here's v1.6 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=166780#p166780
                It fixes a glitch with large mesh group results not zooming properly so that you can see them all...
                The way it works is that it selects the group, 'zooms selected' and then removes group from selection - fine for modest sized meshes BUT if the group is too large SUp hasn't found the selection to 'zoom to' before the selection is cleared... so I've put the 'remove from selection' part after the first dialog so it has time !

                  Is the result you wanted when erasing coplanar edges?

                  P.S.
                  JSClements is a temp login until I can get JClements restored.


                  Is this the result you wanted when deleting coplanar edges.skp

                          I will check on why this might be happening... I thought such things had all got trapped... watch out for an update !!!

                                  First, TIG, thank you so much for this awesome plugin! I've been begging Didier for years to write a Follow Me tool for Edges for a long time.

                                  The only issue is that the edge remains in its original orientation as it follows the path, it does not re-orient to be perpendicualar to the edge line, or at least keep the original angle between them.

                                  Please see attached to see what I mean, I am looking for a tool to create something like shown on the right of this image example.

                                  if this tool is not intended to do what I'm looking for here, please ignore this post. thx.

                                      You are correct it is 'extrude edges *by*edges' and does NOT extrude alongedges as in the followme mode... It's not exactly what you want.
                                      However, I am looking at another tool 'extrude edge by rails' - you'll select a profile and two 'rail' edge-sets [or just one 'rail' and the other will be inferred as being like the first but at the other end of the profile] and then it extrudes the profile along the edges in a followme manner; these rails can be different shapes and orientations and a complex surface mesh is made from the three in combination... It's WIP at the moment... watch for first beta release...
