      Thanks didier!
      It works great!

      I've already used... πŸ˜„

      One single possible request... would be possible to modify so we could extrude along square shapes as well?
      So in Solo's image above for example, i could quickly build beans, columns.. etc etc.. all square?

      Thanks again!

      PS: i've just donwloaded your all in one file... i'm feeling it'll take me ages to check them all...

        for the problems, maybe you must disable the old "line2cyl.rb"?
        maybe...

        for me it works with old tool....

        Thanks Didier for a very usefull plugin... I was wondering if there is way to clean up intersection...

            Very nice Didier, thanks
            Additionally may be you could:
            1/ add a rotation parameter (when precision is 4 one would get square section (rotation 45))
            2/now I weld lines to get continuous result. Any chance to get it automatically?
            3/conjunctions?

                Deleting the lines2cyl ruby did sort out the problem.

                  Hi all,
                  Sorry for the inconvenience of the "not showing plugin" problem. My fault. You must delete old "line2cyl.rb" of your plugins folder OR I must correct the name of the plugin in the code (I forgot to change it). If line2cyl is loaded first, SU doesn't create another menu item in the tools menu for the new version.

                  Use a precision of 4 and you'll get square section prisms.(RTFM)

                  Does this make sense ? This function has nothing to do with projection IMHO...

                  The script can't do it (I mean, quite difficult to code). A workaround is to draw as much curves as you can, and select "Yes" in the "follow-me on curves" option. But it cannot clean intersections on T or Y or X branching edges.
                  Maybe next version will do it ?

                      Thanks Didier.

                      Could this be adapted to use a semi-circle with thickness? I am thinking of use for ridge tiles on a roof.

                          This will help me to make tubular chassis instead of what i was making before.

                                  i think there should also be an option to make not round tubes but square hexagonal triangular ones.

                                      I think if you downloaded the plugin and checked the manual you'd see that it already does what you want.
