[plugin] EdgeFollowMe - UPDATE Aug 30, 2011

[utiler]

Sam, does this only work on a single path?

[sdmitch]

No, you can select any number of connected edges or a curve.

Follow Me And Keep is really better

Thanks make, not really getting that to work. do you:

1. select profile
2. select start point for extrusion then keep picking around a path or points till finished?
   how do you finish; double click?

This EdgeFollowMe was meant to be a EdgeFollowMeAndKeep ?
The FAK code is readily amenable to adjustment - swap 'face' for 'curve', and find midpoint of curve.vertices rather than face.vertices etc it should then work much the same...

[sdmitch]

Looks like I have been wasting my time if FAK already does this.

Andrew, Just like Sketchup's FollowMe, select the entire path first then run the plugin and select the profile.

[Krisidious]

not a waste of time as FAK does faces and it keeps.

[TIG]

FAK works on selected face[s].
BUT you could recast some blocks of its code to process a curve's vertices rather than a face's vertices...

I was hoping to be able to place a profile in place the pick a path, Sam. At times it's easier to do so rather than zoom out to find the path then execute...

I don't think you have wasted your time at all!!

Thanks Sam.

[sdmitch]

Sorry Andrew but EdgeFollowMe3 is the end of the road.

[utiler]

no worries, Sam. Thanks for your input...
