        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 tool Extrude 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 box

          but

          Extrude Edges by Face is fantastic plugins. is simple and fast

                TIG, there now seems to be a problem with your latest EEBRF:-

                so far so good..

                It just stops working here after clicking OK.

                  Are you sure?
                  Just wait end calculation ?
                  Do you see something bottom screen left corner screen line help?

                    Frenchy,

                    I am sure. I replaced the latest version with a version from 18 Feb and that works fine. Changing the older one out for the newer again and it still hangs at the same point.

                    I am on a Mac - maybe there's a difference?

                      There are two tools EEbyFace and EEbyRailsByFace - you are jumbling the threads. 😕
                      EEbyFace - you pre-pick a Face and a path of Edges and run the tool there are no prompts to pick curves etc
                      EEbyRailsbyFaces
                      Pre-pick the ProfileFace

                      • you run the tool
                        Pick the profiles as with EEbyRails...

                      BUT it shouldn't dump out like that.
                      I have tried to replicate this and got it too...

                      I have a fix - publishing it soonest... 😒

                        TIG,
                        True, I was jumbling the threads, I got confused here :-
                        Screen shot 2010-02-20 at 19.26.48.png

                        Face - Faces..

                        and went on to see which of the plugins was actually giving me colours and got hung up on EEBRF. A different naming scheme would make it easier for us mortals! After all, EEBRBF extrudes a selected face along chosen edges, so something like "ExtrudeaFacebyRails" could help differentiate it better.

                          I puzzled long about the names 😒
                          I have a fix for that glitch but it's made another - offsetting the colored lines !
                          I'll fix it tomorrow... 💭 ➡

                            but it is annoying for make a perfect quarter volume! ❓

                              EEbyFace is a kind of 'FollowMe' and you will get un-square ends - use EEbyLathe to be perfect solid by revolution - simply select the face+edges and an axis centered on the arcs cpt... 😕

                                Is there a plugin that can delete all the faces in a structure, leaving it with only the edges? I would like to use the nice Extrude Edges by Face plugin to create a typical steel-like structure.

                                I would like to make a structure with steel beams

                                  To add/remove things to/from a selection there are several tools [e.g. see thomthom's selection_toys script]...
                                  Here's a one liner that takes a selection [it assumes faces and edges are selected, and leaves only faces in the selection - hit delete key to erase faces...]

                                  m=Sketchup.active_model;s=m.selection;sa=s.to_a;s.clear;sa.each{|e|s.add(e)if e.class==Sketchup;;Face}
                                  

                                  Paste it into the Ruby Console and hit return...
                                  To make a function wrap it in a 'def' thus:

                                  def isolatefaces()
                                    m = Sketchup.active_model
                                    s = m.selection
                                    sa = s.to_a
                                    s.clear
                                    sa.each{|e|
                                      s.add(e) if e.class == Sketchup;;Face
                                    }
                                  end#def
                                  

                                  ans save it in a plain text file called isolatefaces.rb in the ../Plugins/ folder.
                                  To run it first select somethings, including faces, and type isolatefaces in the Ruby Console - out of the original selection just the faces are now selected - to erase them press the delete key...
                                  🤓
