            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.

                    I have a 3d helix as a curve and a circular face, but the results ain't right. Any tips?

                        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!

                                    You pick the face and the path, face and curve, no group.

                                    Getting somewhere, at least.

                                    I'm sparing you the mis-starts, by which means I absolve myself of error.

                                      I think that degrees of rotation and scaling over the entire path would be useful settings, saving much perhaps tedious calculation for the machine, which does it so much faster.

                                            I will get a boat and try it. Thank you, Dave.

                                            Thanks, Pilou. I figured my interpretation of the scale setting was the problem. I assumed it was over the entire path and that the number would be the result, i.e. 20% of the original at the end. A few extra words in the setting dialog might save a lot of dead drouge drag. Did you miss my construction point? I managed that.

                                            I think another problem is the helix has too many segments to be workable and I am trying now to work that but so far the routine reverses the helix, etc.
