      Or works only for curves ?

      Indeed it behaves funny when it is run on rectangles.

      But it seems fine for some others.

            One thing that does not work correctly for me is the Materials parameter. It will only allow me to select a material that has already been used in the model.

            Maybe I am doing something wrong................

              To give you access to the potentially thousands of material SKM files that are not currently used in the model could be unbelievably complex, even it it were easy to do in the API - which unfortunately it is not...
              To be frank having any material choice seems overkill, as it is really a a geometry creator ?

                Fixed the problem with rectangles in my Edge_to_Tube plugin. Normal rectangles are bounded by 4 edges and not a 'curve' as polygons and circles are.

                Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

                      Yes but quid of differents number of segments of sections ? πŸ˜‰

                      @Sdmitch
                      Seems the "Do Curve" don't works in the new version!
                      Edit: Sorry I don't draw a polygon but a rectangle! 😳
                      The trick is draw a poly with 4 edges then resize with FredoScale! πŸ˜„

                          Yes, but this particular plugin is scrambled so only the creator can make that change.

                          I'm hoping to set the default 'Precision' input at 20. looked into the .rb file but it's all scrambled. anyone can help?

                          sdmitch, where can I download your Edge_to_Tube plugin?

                                        It was listed just fine for me on Vista 64bit in the tools menu. Great plugin!

                                        Here's a helix, triple helix, double helix, something that isn't a helix, but sort of close, then another 10x helix or something. I'm sure most of those names are wrong, so just look at the picture πŸ˜„

                                          Just install it using the Sketchucation ExtensionStore tool, select the edges and then run it. It works just fine in older SketchUps.
