Square Tube Along Path plugin?
-
Is there a "Square Tube Along Path" like the "Pipe Along Path" plugin? I'm also willing to accept a plug in that does Polygon Along Path if I can spec the number of faces. Thanks!

Cant you set the number of faces in pipe along path? set the number of faces to 4...

Or, you can use the newest line2cylinders ruby and change the precision to 4. This will give you a square along a path.

Or use TIG's tubealongpath ruby:

Doh!
You're right, that works fine, though it's too bad it doesn't make the top surface parallel to the red/green plane, but beggers can't be choosers; I can rotate it. Thanks!!
[edit] Well that's annoying. The way it draws a square, I have to put in the diagonal distance in order for the flat-side dimension come out right. That is, putting in a radius of 0.707 gives a 2" square tube. Oh well, it's still better than having to do it manually.

Where can i find this line2cylinders ruby? -
TIG's
ExtrudeAlongPath.rb - select the path then specify rectangle's details...
or
ExtrudeEdgesByFace.rb where you draw a flat rectangular [or any shaped] face with up as its Y/green axis and have a path of welded edges...
