      TIG,

      When I used the Mirror Extension (which I assume was written by you), the console was populated with information, because I made a mistake in the way I used the extension.

      When I used the FollowMeAndKeep Extension there were no comments in the Ruby Console, but nothing happened either.

      However, subsequently, I changed the position of the surface from horizontal to vertical, and changed the path from pointing downwards at an angle of about 42° to 0° which then created the extrusion. But it did not correctly follow the path will have to try other angles, dimensions, etc. until I get it right.

      Previously I have used the Eneroth Upright extruder, but I had problems with that one as well.

      I shall keep on trying.

      Thank you all for your help.

        John, it sounds like Follow and Keep may not be what you need.

        Best bet would be to start a new thread asking 'How to make this shape?'
        Add images of what you want to achieve and any model you have so far so we can perhaps offer better suggestions.

          Box,

          After having changed the position of the surface from horizontal to vertical, and changed the path from pointing downwards at an angle of about 42° to 0°, I also used the Scale tool to increase the size of the whole thing by 100; this appeared to make the FollowMeAndKeep Extension do what I wanted. Then I used the Scale tool to take me back to the original size; all was good.

          So, I have finally solved my problem and once again thank everyone for their help and suggestions.
