Couple of question... about follow me.
-
as you can see in the pic Ive attached ... these questions occurred to me:
1.Is there some kind of smart follow me or something like it?
2.why a curve explodes when I use it as path?
3.why sometimes i cant make an exploded curve 1 polyline?
4.your idea about this situation?
5.what are "follow me use like" plugins(extrude,fredoloft)
-
The Follow me tool explodes the curves used in the profiles, I think.
So you can soften those edges with the Eraser tool (with the Ctrl button pressed), or you can use the weld plugin http://www.cad-addict.com/2008/08/sketchup-plugins-weld.htmlIf you´re trying to loft two different contours along the rail curve, Fredo´s Curviloft is the right tool for the job, as far as I am concerned.
you can add some thickness to that with the (again) Fredo´s Joint Push Pull: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=6708&hilit=plugin -
Some Extrude Edges tools by Tig can also makes the trick

Dear friends
My questions are these:- in one of the pics I mentioned exploding curve after follow me... question is how to avoid this(if its possible)?
- in another Ive shown two lookliked shaped which each of them was made by circle(not polygon) but afterward one of them( not converted one) act like polygon and Ive shown some line... question is : imagin Im workinbg with the left one and I need to remove lines (mentioned in pic) and I cant go back and convert it ...so what can I do to make it look like exactly the right one?
3.and in one another Ive shown one shape after extrude which the edge is not polyline and its like exploded(As is mentioned on pic)... question is how to avoid? and is there any easy way to select curved edge(except selecting all and deselecting)? - its out of topic but I dont know why sometimes I have trouble with making polyline with weld which I will ask later( but if you have anything in mind I would be glad to be shared)
Dear numbthumb, I didnt understand your solution.. if you could explain more I would be glad.
Thanks dear pilou for your suggestion.
