Is there a Ruby like FollowMe?

[Jim57]

Is there a Ruby that is similar to the FollowMe tool, but works at only one given angle to the path?

Normally, FollowMe, used around a circle, would drag a profile radially around the path. What I'd like to do is maintain the orientation of the profile relative to the axes and just lift it over the path.

I've made a sample file. Note how the ends of the final shape are different when the pattern is lifted rather than dragged normal to the path.

Thanks,

JIm
