      High I'm wondering if there are any plugins similar to how the follow me tool works but can use 2 rail profiles to extrude the profile Face along? I got tigs extrude tools and thought that its extrude edges by rails would work but I'm having difficulty with the melding profile I'm trying to extrude the edges along 2 closed curve rails and haven't a clue what to do with the melding profile

        With my ExtrudeEdgesByRails you can have two Rails and just one Profile.

        When you are asked for the fourth pick for the "Melding-Profile" just re-pick the "Profile".
        That is then assumed to be how you want to end up too [allowing for scaling to match the Rails' ends' relative-locations etc]

        Of course, the "Melding-Profile" can be quite different from the "Profile", and the form then 'morphs' between them, BUT if you want no 'morphing' you just re-pick the initial "Profile" again...
