          Hi,
          I have missed the website for a bit and I see this wonderful plugin!
          I was waiting for that since long time....for many shapes i was still using rhino's tool:sweep2rails.
          I am going to play with that but I want to ask:
          I create due rails e my curve profile and it works well, but if I would like just a line rather than a curve....it looks like an error.
          Sorry probably i have to read better, anyone has a simple answer?

          thank you.

            I am still trying...but not results... 😞
            When i try to select a simple line rather than a curve (just the first step before the selection of the 2 rails), it is impossible to select anything, but if i draw a curve it wors immediately.
            It looks like strange!
            I know....it is a stupid error by me!

                  Job Done!
                  I needed so much that script working well because i need to create something like that:

                  http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/1400/catturaspirale.jpg

                  I have seen something similar in this topic.
                  I need 2 different spiral curve and then a surface that run through the 2 spirals.
                  Any tips?

                    No problem
                    Draw your 2 helix curves and just one "divided line"
                    Call the plug, CLick the line, CLick curve rail 1, click curve rail 2, click again the line!

                    I suggest you to draw just one module then make a group or a component then copy past it!

                      Thank you!
                      Quick and without problems!
                      I have tried to download the plugin "curvemaker" from the website http://www.drawmetal.com but the website doesn't work. Any info about that?
                      I think that could be a good plugin.

                      thanks a lot!

                        Seems their addresses are changed! (expire in april)
                        so you must use another plug or draw your module curves by hand πŸ˜‰

                          Right click : divide your line ? πŸ˜‰
                          And weld them in any case or if you have several in connection! β˜€

                                    even tried tig's example file from the second page of this post so i don't think its the files. maybe i'm missing some other file that's needed. like progress bar or something although i know its not that.

                                      Hi Rocky,

                                      Works perfect for me? Here's a snapshot of my plugin folder if you wanna see how it compares to yours?

                                      Maybe something will standout?
