    Hi to everyone. First of all I apologize for my poor english. I want to make multiple copies of a post varying the height along a curve and mantainig it's base section at the top. How can I do that? I'm attaching a sketch of what I want to do.

      Draw the posts a bit extra long. Each one should be a group or component. Make a sold group or component with the curve shape on the bottom to use as a "cutter". Then use Trim from the Solid Tools selecting the "cutter" then the posts one at a time.

            Draw some vertical lines Intersected with one curve
            Select all lines
            Use Draw Extrude Line along a vector (Inside Projection By Didier Bur)
            Select all / Make Top and bottom caps (Fill holes by Tig )

            [attachment=1:agajs7kx]<!-- ia1 -->GIF_proj.gif<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:agajs7kx]

            Thank you a lot! What if I have to make posts between two curved lines?

                You could still use the method I suggested.

                  2 Curves on the same plane
                  Draw a big vertical Line
                  Copy Move with /x x = number of thing that you want
                  Intersection
                  Select Only Straight edges (Plugin)
                  Invert selection
                  Erase

                  and make like shown above with Projections by Didier BUR
                  and Add Faces by Tig
