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

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

            for the problems, maybe you must disable the old "line2cyl.rb"? ๐Ÿ˜‰
            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‘

            Ahhh, great.
            Thanks Pilou!

                  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...
