      maybe...

      I did not have a chance to look at this until now on my work machine. I had line2cyl.rb here as well. I installed Lines to tubes and got the same results... not showing up. So I then tried as you suggested Pilou, deleting line2cyl.rb and now it is showing up.
      Thanks. ๐Ÿ‘

        i think there should also be an option to make not round tubes but square hexagonal triangular ones.

          would be possible to modify so we could extrude along square shapes as well?

          Use a precision of 4 and you'll get square section prisms.(RTFM)

          Simple anD easy.. MERCI!

            I think if you downloaded the plugin and checked the manual you'd see that it already does what you want.

                      Great plugin. Is there a way to close the gaps in sharp corners just like in "Pipe Along Path"?

                        Great plugin, I was trying to create a window and realized that using precision 4, the corners were at 45 degrees, can I control the orientation of the angles?
                        Thanks!

                                    I love this plugin! It's so incredibly easy to use and all the options I need are included. A+ for ease of use!
                                    Combined with the soapskin bubble plugin it's almost addictive ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

                                    It does sometimes crash my sketchup. The progress percentage builds up, slows down, and eventually just stops. A second or third try (saving before starting) usually does the job though.

                                    All in all, pretty much brilliant!

                                      first I must thank you for your handy tool Dider, and then I thought if you could combine this plugin with a geosphere creator + an option to have sphere in junction points, then we would have A LATTIC TOOL ,right in sketchup, that makes space frames easy.

                                          My EEbyFace also does something similar but it allows you to define the extrusion's cross section by making a 'flat' face [it's Y green axis = extrusions initial Z blue axis] - the face can be any shape you like so you are no longer limited to circular tubes...
