      I've not tested it in v2017 - but if it is "flaky" it will now be unfix-able because its code is encrypted !

          Doesn't work with 2017 version. I removed the en version of the file.
          I made polyline and a face, selected both, clicked "Extensions/FollowAndRotate" but nothing happens, no dialog box.

            Yes, if you read the posts above yours, this has already been reported. Unless the author fixes it, the extension won't work, It doesn't seem likely that the author will fix it so it's probably a good idea to find other ways to manage what you did with this one.

                  It is still in developing, here is the current version.
                  Get the latest version as an RBZ from the PluginStore:

                  wikii, This is such a cool, useful and needed plugin. Alternatives to get similar results are tedious, time consuming and not always effective. If possible, I'd like to encourage the continued development of this plugin for SU2017 and SU2018.... resurrect this puppy so it can be used without reverting to SU 2015/16.

                  I hope you release a new version since this does what needs to be done. And again, thank you for making this!!!

                      Houson, I have a problem 😞

                      I installed Follow and rotate, checked that all files have been pasted into Plugins folder. I clicked the extension record but the plugin window didn't show up 😞 Instead, Ruby throwed an error:

                      Error: #<TypeError: wrong argument type (expected Sketchup::Entity or Array of Sketchup::Entity)>
                      c:/users/dell/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2017/sketchup/plugins/followandrotate_cn.rbs:42:in add' c:/users/dell/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2017/sketchup/plugins/followandrotate_cn.rbs:42:in wikii_push_pull'
                      c:/users/dell/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2017/sketchup/plugins/followandrotate_cn.rbs:109:in block in <main>' SketchUp:1:in call'

                      I preselected a face (with and then without its bounding edges, as TIG advised) and a welded path-curve but nothing happened. Adding quide point at the begining and ending of path did not help either. I read that many people had similar problem formerly but I didn't find solution in the thread.

                      I removed the .rbs file with _en suffix which prevented SU from splashing error on startup but still I cannot run the tool.

                        Einstein, see this. It doesn't work in SU2017 or SU2018 and the author would need to fix it because it is encrypted. So far the author hasn't shown any interest in fixing it, though.

                            If you've downloaded the RBZ file to your computer, use Install Extension which will be found in Window>Extension manager. There's not much point installing this one, however. If you read my post before yours and follow the link I provided, you'll see it doesn't work in SU2017.

                                Go back to posts over a year ago where it's explained how to remove the incorrect RB file so that it at least loads.
                                However, since it's already been reported as flaky in v2017, its encrypted files might not now be fixable...

                                    It's already been reported that this extension doesn't work in Su2017 or SU2018. See the previous posts in this thread regarding that. It appears that the author isn't going to update it for newer versions of SketchUp. At least they haven't yet.

                                      As Dave says the original author hasn't supported this tool for many years.
                                      It doesn't work in any of the newer SketchUp versions.
                                      Under the terms of its Β© notice it could be reworked and republished, but I looked at it last year and found that to make it compatible with newer SketchUp could involve so much work it might as well be rewritten from scratch !
                                      So search for an alternative tool...

                                          If you read the posts above yours, you'll see that it hasn't been updated in quite a long time. Evidently the author has elected not to support it anymore.
