          Hi,

          I had forgotten this plugin because it almost never worked properly. This time it has worked once, but only after I had divided the line and rewelded it.

          Then came back the error message shown in Ruby box .

          So for me it only works if the line has been previously divided and re-welded.

            So again, the correct workflow.

            • Draw a line and divide the line (If it is a curve than explode and weld)
            • Weld the line
            • Select Face and Line
            • Start FAR

            This should work for all.

              Charly:

              I've had trouble with this plugin along a straight line as many have posted here (on a Mac w/ 10.6). Tried your suggestions of dividing line and welding but no luck. In fact the line doesn't even "weld". Curved lines seem fine and while "fun", a straight line is also needed more often than not for many hoping to use this tool.

              Thoughts/further suggestions?

                Please try it with the attached file. Only select the face and the line.

                      This Plugin sure appears to be problematic and doesn't seem to work no matter I've tried (based on other posts here).

                      I'm appreciative of its creator's efforts, but frustrated that it isn't stable or bug-free.

                            Hi,

                            It works normally only with a face and a curve. If you want to use it with a straight line than have look at page 5 of this topic. ThereEcuadorian shows a tutorial video.

                                  Better if surface is drawn on the ground (Flat) as a top view as the helix is vertical
                                  but not obliged in theory any orientations can be made
                                  Seems your examples fail because of the Construction Point is out of the surface!

                                  You can add a Construction Point on the surface By the Didier Bur Projection

                                          Do you have to group the polygon first? No?

                                          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                            Your result is normal 😉
                                            Scale 0.2 signify 1/5 at each segment generation!
                                            so
                                            1, 0.2, 0.04, 0.008...so toward very tiny very speedy 😉
                                            Take 0.95 if you want a more smooth reduction 😄

                                            PS Put a Construction Point at the center of the surface make nothing more! 😉
                                            This one must be excentered for make something funny!
