                  Can this plugin be used for screw threads?
                  Any help would be appreciated.

                        Hi 3dalbertsoft,

                        Thank you very much for this great plugin!

                        On a related issue, I am desperately trying to find a way to model, in SU, a conical helix where the helix maintains a constant and specific pitch angle to the conical surface. It is also known as a conical log spiral. Can anyone help me?

                        The helix I am describing would have the coils get closer together as they approach the apex of the cone. Here is an example:

                        http://www.satimo.com/sites/www.satimo.com/files/imagecache/product_view/Conical spiral_0.jpg

                              Hi all,

                              Please could somebody tell me how to install that plugin step by step ? Because it doesn't work for me. I install it but there is an error message when I open Sketchup. I use Google Sketchup 8 in French on Windows 8.

                              Thank you guys

                                  How have you 'installed it' ? 😕
                                  What are the errors?
                                  I suspect they relate to missing files ??
                                  This plugin's archive [ZIP file] looks like the attached image.
                                  Copy those two items into the Plugins folder, keeping the contents in the same relationship.
                                  That is one .rb file and the plugins's subfolder [containing other code files, images etc].
                                  You need FULL read/write security permissions to the main Plugins folder...
                                  ['Compatibility Files' issues and the 'VirtualStore' beckon otherwise 😒 ]
                                  Also set SketchUp.exe to 'Always Runs as Administrator'...
                                  There are may posts covering these aspects in great detail...

                                    Hi thank you TIG for your help, it works thanks to your explanations. I think I copied only the .rb file in the folder "Plugins" of Sketchup.

                                    Bye

                                          Thank you for this plug-in. Very useful! I am looking to hire a contractor to take my hand-drawn sketches of a mens watch project (details at http://www.votsh.com) and create SketchUp files. Please email me fcohen at votsh.com for details on the contract. Thanks! -Frank

                                            I have verified that helix along curve works in sketchup 2014, you can install and use without problems

                                            😉
