          Hi can someone help. I'm trying to create a Spiral Guard see attached image.

          I've created a Helix (The path used to create the helix was also used to create the wire/cable that runs inside the Helix). Using the helix I'm trying to create the Spiral Guard that will wrap around the wire. But I've had no luck. The profile I've created is not following the helix the way I want. any ideas?

          Please find attached a SU example.


          This is an image of a Spiral Guard.

              Thanks for the quick reply Box.

              I used Helix along curve to create the Helix. I'm having trouble creating the 'Spiral Guard'. I've drawn a profile (cross section of the 'Spiral Guard') but I can't get it to follow the Helix the way I would like Using FMK or SUs Follow Me tool. I'll have a look at Follow me Helix

                    Is it in your plugins folder? Are you using an updated version of SketchUp?

                    I somehow find out how I solved mine.

                    If your problem is same as mine, open your FAK.rb and paste this line of code on the very top line:
                    require 'sketchup.rb'
                    Save it, then make sure the rb file is in the tools folder and not in the plugins folder.

                      Incredible!

                      Thank you! Why don't you distribute this through sketchup and sign it? It is very nice work and it would make it easier for the user.

                            This is a really old plugin, it's encrypted and terribly out of date !
                            Also it ships in its RBZ in two versions - the EN one is actually in Chinese and always fails, the other file [CN?] is actually in ENglish and works !
                            There are instructions in earlier posts on how to fix this...

                            In any case it may well prove flaky in newer versions of SketchUp, but you can try it and see...

                              Wikii,

                              I can see the extension in my Extension Manager, but it shows up as, ‘Blocked’. If I click on the arrow, I am advised that it is unsigned.

                              What do I do please?

                                unsigned isn't a problem the extension will work just fine, just relax your extension loading policies

                                Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

                                  juju,

                                  I have done as you suggest and it is now in the Extension Manager as enabled.

                                  It also appears as FollowMeAndKeep, under Extensions, but I do not see it in the Toolbars, so how do I get it onto the main screen?

                                    Read the tool's usage notes.
                                    Many Extensions don't appear under the Extensions menu !
                                    Some appear elsewhere - e.g. for Fredo's tools are under:
                                    Tools > Fredo Collection OR Fredo Tools...

                                    The Toolbars are activated separately...

                                    To use Extensions/Plugins effectively you must read their usage notes...
                                    So don't even have menu items - e.g SectionCutFace which is a context-menu tool only available when there's a selection of a single Section-Plane...

                                        The '[More ]Info' button when considering downloading/installing etc is a good starting point, but also read the main thread's posts for each tool - there are often good tips and advice in those...

                                          TIG,

                                          It was from clicking on the, ‘More Info’, that I got to this forum. And, I have read all of the posts but found nothing that would help me.

                                          Also, as I mentioned earlier, on the menu line, under Extensions, I have FollowMeAndKeep and Mirror Selection. Mirror Selection works, but FollowMeAndKeep does nothing.

                                          Any ideas?

                                            The FaK instructions are in the first post: https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=129504#p129504
                                            There's also some discussion in subsequent posts...

                                            It is old and unsupported for many years, so it's unsigned - set your Extension Manager > Extensions Loading Policy to 'Unrestricted' and restart SketchUp to see the menu-item if needed...

                                            There's no Toolbar...

                                            It appears under the Plugins menu - which is now known as 'Extensions' in newer SketchUp versions...

                                            put simply, preselect a path and a face and run the tool, it should extrude OK...
                                            Run it with the Ruby Console open to see if there are any issues...
