[REQ[ Extrude profile line along path
-
hmm i think im making a confusion lol
Ok say for instance, you for a free hand line that you want to extrude along another freehand line, kinda think it will take forever to do each segment.
I use a lot the line extrude tool, but i kinda just thought if this is possible,...great. saves so much time, give you more flexibility on organic modelling.

I've just quickly hacked Didier's 'Extrude_Lines' ruby - and made the few simple tweaks needed - it works fine - just as I think you want. Now you can select the edges/arcs etc to extrude into faces - and they don't even need to be connected - then pick the start, then end of a vector - this can be the vertices of lines forming the required path or in fact any other two points - the edges extrude into faces along the vector - the focus of the selection switches to the new 'end' set of edges - since the tool stays active you can now pick the next two vector points and the extrusion of faces continues, re-focusing the edge selection as you go on, and on, and on...
I can't publish my tweak - it's Didier's code and it's encrypted [I happen to know how to decrypt it
]...Let's hope Didier quickly introduces this useful upgrade to the tool...
Edit: It wouldn't take much to take Didier's ideas and apply them to the vertices of a pre-selected path... If Didier doesn't do it I can...

I have a passable version that should be available for beta testing during next week or so...

Looks excellent and I shall enjoy testing it

If you have 4 different lines that is Coons'surface
Have a good work TIG
Sandbox by contour makes that but mesh result has not quadrangles
-
Seems you can make that with the Copy along a Path / nodes by Rick Wilson
In 2 pass
Select line 1 gouped
Apply on Line 2Select line 2 grouped
Apply on line 1
Then Explode result and select allCreate faces / orient face et voilà
Not so a big deal
-
Any progress on this?
-
I'm beta testing it now hopefully next day or two will see it's general release...
