Follow me tool while different height on surface?

I have this tube which I want to connect to the part that is lower on the surface.
The orientation should be the same as the higher and lower part (light brown area's), facing straight outwards.

Can I do this with the follow me tool? Or should I use another method?

Hi chieldeno and welcome to SCF!

The Follow me tool will always twist the shape if the path is not strictly on a coplanar plane (i.e. 2D only) so you cannot use it precisely with your 3D path.

There is a plugin however; "Follow me and keep " (i.e. "keep the orientation" of the face when it comes to 3d Paths) which would work perfectly with your model.

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much. This is an enormous time-saver.
