        Albert, this amazing tool, so many options! 👍
        Thank you.
        Are you planning to add more options? If yes, may be you could add some special mode that instead of continuous curve (spiral) it would build closed shapes perpendicular to the path? In example (see video 0.30) it could create evenly enlargening N circles.

              Will give it a try, it seems very good!

              One option I would love:
              variable pitch.
              Any can dream.

                                    Congratulations:
                                    This appears to be a very robust and refined version of helical construction.

                                    I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                          Hi 3dalbertsoft,

                                          Here's an attempt at a helix. I have one question, why is the radius of the tube limited?

                                          Charly

                                            Karlheinz Hi, thanks for the image , this limitation occurs only if the program detects that could be built with very small length edges, there are circumstances in which the radius of the tube not allows the correct construction of all polygons in each ring that make up the tube, since this plugin is supported by followme tool of SketchUp, this limitation is needed to avoid bugs splats, but in the future could incorporate a tool "followme" own specialized for the needs of this plugin, which would avoid the need for the limitation.

                                            You can try the tips mentioned in the alert message, may be helpful
