[Plugin] FollowMe and keep (v0.04 update 20090210)

ITS NOT WORKING FOR SKETCH UP 8!!!!!

Yes it is - and please,
do not use ALL CAPSon the forums.
A "not working" remark will never help trouble shooting what you are doing wrong. First of all, did you install it correctly?

Works fine on SU8 for me.
If you want help, why not help us help you and give us some information about what's happening? Post an example SKP or something.

Greeting. This is my first post here. I have been trying to model a roller coaster type object and the "follow me" tool in sketchup was twisting my shape. I think found the "follow me and keep" tool here which is great. My only problem now is that my shape is not symetrical and the follow me and keep tool is flipping my shape as it makes turns. It is one shape I am extruding by somehow it doesn't quite work. I tried this shape with the native follow me in sketchup and it does maintain the general shape but, as mentioned before it twists the shape. Is there something I am doing wrong, or is there any way to fix this? I have attached my sketchup file.
Thanks!

All works, simply draw again a structure...

I hate drawing railings on staircases, that said this plugin works fine, but it would be better if it didn't have auto-smoothing, or an option that would allow the user to turn it off. I have to explode the group the plugin created to make the railing look right. I also have to add lines between segments of railing, to make the railing look sharper. Any thoughts?
-
I have just one thought. Well, two but one of them isn't related.
Open the railing group for editing and then select all of the geometry. Right click Smooth/Soften and adjust the slider down slightly. That should give you the lines you're looking for at the turns.
-
Thank you for FAK. Sometimes the path is repeated in the result, sometimes not. In my case, with a road centerline, I do not want it, or if it is there, I'd like it grouped or left as a curve and not exploded as this requires cleaning up.
-
Have you tried setting up the path so it is not in contact with the profile? If you do that, you won't have to clean up the group that results from the extrusion operation.
-
@wikii, I have just tried your plugin. Thank you very much for an awesome solution, that 1001.bit could not solve

I either neglected to see this, Dave, or couldn't fit it in my little head, or it simply didn't compute for some reason; not sure.
Now it does. I'll try it. Thanks.
-
Why are you expecting any more than that? That menu entry is enough to get the job done.
-
No further menu in plugin? Only show as FollowMeandKeep.

This is a great, great tool! I want in on the list of grateful people... Thank you very much Wikii! My ramps will never look skewed anymore!
-
