      Has this been solved with a plugin yet? If so could someone kindly point me to the download? Thank you!

        If you look back in the thread a few ideas were discussed. Profile builder for one. There's not a one-shot solution, I don't think. What I was imagining was more of line(s) on surface(s) , select,run ruby, default setting box (depth and width), OK, and --boom --grooves in surface(s), no cleanup or other steps to do.

          IMO The lack of efficient rock solid groove maker is one of the narrowest bottle necks (in SU-ArchViz field). I requested it over 9000 times here and there but no luck. Would gladly buy it for sure.

                None of mentioned above work with preselected edges (THE only edges I want to be grooved).
                The only combo that more or less 'holds the water' is S4U Frame Maker+ Booltools 2,
                but still, there's a lot of space for improvement.

                      About the first post #1
                      If you copy the original component, launch the plug Inflator, Copy in Place then explode...
                      Seems you must have the result asked ?
