      I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

            Here's v2.1
            A typo meant that the lingvo files didn't translate properly [an ES user spotted it...]

                  tig. query
                  edges by edges, may function similar to edges by rail?

                  • Add option Smooth
                  • Remove requirement of Groups of Edges/Curves. used alone edges

                  is it possible?

                    It is possible, but I have left it as it was originally made for now - it was the first in the set...

                          Took me a bit to warm up to the plugin -- text descriptions of visual proceedures don't work so well for me 😕

                          But now that I made the effort to figure it out I must say this is one very cool plugin set -- I'll have to get used to it but it may very well become part of my regular modeling tool-set... but it's definitely on my short list of plugins that need a Paypal donation made to support its development.

                          Thank-you.

                                You've probably published this in the wrong place ! 😒
                                EEbyEdges does actually take any edges or curves etc within the two selected groups... but offers no controls over the form otherwise.
                                I think you mean EEbyRails ❓
                                This tool takes a Profile, a Rail1, a Rail2 [which can be the Rail1 again] and a MeldingProfile [which can be the Profile again].
                                These each need to be Curves*** - a curve is a collection of edges - these can be as an arc or bezier or ANY collection of connected, unbranched edges that you join using the weld.rb script [see the Smustard site for a free download - it's an invaluable tool with many uses].
                                The reason you them being joined into a curve is that how else would the tool know when you finished picking one set of edges for the profile and wanted to start picking those for the rails ? It is very simple to have straight lines welded into a 'curve' if you want straight shapes as profiles or rails - there are even ways of making a single line into a one segment curve - I actually published a tutorial on this recently in the very tool's thread...
                                So, with most of the EEby.. tools you CAN'T use a plain line [edge] for a profile/rail... BUT it's easy to convert one into a 'curve' before using the tool anyway - use weld... ***SUp calls 'polylines' 'curves which can be confusing as they needed be curved at all !!!
                                😒

                                  Hi, TIG. I am new to the forum, and came across these plugins while doing a little research on a project i am starting. I was wondering do your plug-ins work for Mac? Thanks for the help

                                    They should work on PC or Mac, SUp version 6 or 7...
                                    Just make sure you use the right Plugins folder on your Mac - to find it type/copy+paste this line into the Ruby Console Window: Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins") + <enter>
                                    All of the Extrusion tools and their support files come in a zip file, install them all...
                                    Also ensure you extract the files/folders from the zip file unchanged and put them into the Plugins folder as directed.
                                    Read the instructions on use each tools, activating toolbars etc...
                                    Most scripts will work on both platforms and will say if they are limited or platform specific...

                                        Thats a wonderful plugin there TIG, guess i might be the last one to explore it though. I need help frm any of the wonderful people out there. I need to make an arch, that protrudes to the front, something similar to thats of a hawk's beak. Hope u get what im trying to say. I just cant seem to figure out how to do it...maybe its a piece of cake for u guys. I'd really appreciate it if u could reply soon, as im really running out of time...

                                          hey anarchy,

                                          it's really hard for me to understand what you're after without seeing some sort of sketch.. my interpretation of a protruding arch similar to a hawk's beak looks something like this:

                                          is this what you're after?
