TIG thanks. exelentes contributions.
I found a little mistake.

TIG,
I guess you never sleep! Or perhaps you do..You left Manifold stuff out of the TIGtools folder.
OK - I know it wasn't really a mistake , I just did a wholesale replace of the folder - me being lazy.
Now and then, I find myself thinking, "I should use XYZ program, it's easier to do XXX" then another plugin arrives that mostly addresses my problem and I save $500.

I see the problem... a strange scaling of the extruded face when it starts on a downwards curve ???
I will investigate and report back...
-
if tig.
I did a test with the same curve at different positions.
And they generate deformations of the face, and rotations of the face[flash=800,600:71pbjs74]http://www.youtube.com/v/jDUGeV5K5_w&fs=1[/flash:71pbjs74]

here's what i get:

The first experiments reminded me of the plug-ins "Convert arcs, circles ..... to cylinders" and "tube along path". But the fact that you can use different profiles I see it as a powerful extension of the possibilities which the above mentioned plugins have.

TIG excellent update. thank you very much for the speed at which fixes plugins
can you add, optional, the orientation of the face?
similar to the file attachment, or other options for rotation of the face
maybe
align with curved or aligned with the axis, or random alignment
TIG is possible?
-
hi tig.
a question.
This plugins can work with 2 face and 1 rail?for example
initial one face (circle), and a final face (square)or
initial one face (rectangle), and a final face (square)
or just the same face but with a different scale.
for example
face 1 rectangle of 10cm x 15cm
face 2 rectangle 20cm x 30cm
-
Yes it can.
Make sure the two Profiles' edges - the circle and the square [welded] - are both Curves.
Make the Rail a Curve too - even if it's only one segment long !
Pick Rail-1 and re-pick it as Rail-2 when prompted...

you say use the extrude edgesbayrailes plugins?
my question is can you do with your extrude edges by face.
that automatically positions the face about the curvethe idea is that works like this plugins
http://www.drawmetal.com/tapermakeris it possible?
-
It's the
Extrude Edges By Rails **By Face**plugin that does this.
That works very similarly to EEbyRails BUT it makes the ribs from a preselected face - like the individual 'rib' made with EEbyFace.............. -
tig apologize. not understand well what you say.
My idea was that the plugins Extrude Edges by Face, work with both sides and a rail.like the example attached. ( picture + file )
Operating:
select two sides + a curved edge
run the plugins
generates geometriathis is possible?
-
-
OK you can already do this with EEbyRails IF the edges of the two faces are Curves and you make the 'path' curve as the two Rails...
You want a toolExtrude Face to Face By Rails?
You pick Face1 then Face2 then Rail1 and Rail2 [or Rail1 again].
It'd work just like EEbyRails but the Profile and the Melding-Profile are made from the edges forming the two faces' outer_loop...
I'll think about it but I think it's been done
-
if Tig. It has done something similar.
2 faces + path but it can do, but is more complex.other plugins that generates something like this is tapermaker. but is limited
only use preset faces in a dialog boxbut
Extrude Edges by Face is fantastic plugins. is simple and fast
