Twisted Geometry -- Am I Missing A Plugin?

Dave R

John,

That's what I get with Follow Me. The problem is that the square at the top is turned 45° relative to the bottom. I want it to have the same orientation at both ends.

Dave R

Rich, that works. What did you do?

Rich. Thank you very much! And thank you for taking the time to make the video. It's absolutely perfect. And it turns out I was indeed just not looking at the right plugin since it is there.

Thank you again.

I know what you mean by not knowing what to use. It's a case now of understanding which plugins are defunct because of curviloft. It's the most powerful tool out if you ask me. Mix it with Tgi and Artisan (and Pen Tool + ) and you're sorted

I see Rich and you Dave have sorted it out.
This is what I could come up with comparing both your curve and mine.
(see attached file)

With your curve I unfortunately got the same result as in your first post.

Comparison of curves

Dave R

Rich, you are absolutely correct.

Gerrit, thank you for taking the time to look at it. Your points are something to consider. After I drew the Bezier curve and the vertical lines, I checked the segment count and used a circle with the same number of segments. I just used Bezier.rb for the curve and could have used a BZ Spline tool instead to get more segments.
