        @L-i-am it is just the simple Nano Banana on gemini.

        i used that prompt:

        "Photographic image of the interior of a tram in 1975, traveling through the vineyards between Ellerstadt and Gönnheim, smoking passengers, conductor with money changer and uniform checking tickets, keep geometrie, bright sunny day at fall"

                            ProfileBuillder would be a good option.

                            Or CurviLoft

                            CurviLoft to make profiles follow a curve in SketchUp

                                I can't remember v1 but v3 has an Along Path option that has rudinmentary support for branching paths.

                                  I need a path in the middle and two rails (special profile) left and right, to follow the path.

                                      Curviloft does a good job to be fair, not sure why you need anything else. Upright extruder perhaps (Or whatever it is called now).

                                        With Curviloft the profiles can be offset from the path...

                                        Profile offset from Path using CurviLoft

                                        That does mean you need to do each side as a separate operation.

                                        Or with ProfileBuilder 3 (or above) you could make an Assembly with a mix of Profiles and objects like bolts to do it in one sweep.

                                        SketchUp_vZFjUGLOX5.gif

                                        TIG's Extrusion Tools would do it too similar to CurviLofts approach.

                                          the newer version of profile builder seems to be a good tool.

                                          Is it possible to insert an own profile?
