Thanks TIG!

TIG:
This was the subject of one of my first wishful posts. "Extrude" a curve along a curve.
Excellent work!!!! This is another one of those jaw droppers. We're gonna have you bronzed. Plotparis will jump out of his seat when he sees this.
Thank you.

This also works with the freehand tool in SU6, if anybody was wondering.

Really great tool, TIG!!!!

TIG,
It is great, Thanks

[urgen]

great tool! thanks!

[REDS]

Its very useful thing. Thanks

Hi TIG! Instead\in addition to(?) of consistant orientation mode (in the center: extrudeEdgesByEdges.rb) It'd be perfect to get the one of profiles get turned along another one (the right example: push-pull+eraser)
Thanks.

Thanks.

For that use followme tool or followme_and_keep script... add lines to the profile to make a face then erase the 'back' edges to make the shape required. EEbyE works with non-coplanar profiles and paths, and non-contiguous edges in paths and profile[as FAK] - which isn't possible with traditional followme...

Hi TIG, Thank you for the gem..

could be me doing something wrong.. i noticed that if i draw a circle on any plane (as path) and an edge in elevation (profile), the script always considers the circle the path

[silver_shadow]

i wanted this soooo much

thats because the the script doesnt rotate the profile along the path so it apears as if the circle is being extruded, to which TIG will reply: if you want that function use Follow Me or Follow me and Keep.

Tig: it seems people would really really like that function

And if you want multiple curves along a path use "Simple-Loft" by Chris Fullmer

The extrudeEdgesbyEgdes is for particular uses as sections are always parallel!

Thanks TIG, this is a big script and works so well

[CadFather]

gotcha!..

..the script does lead you into 'lofty' considerations..

Did you notice the plugin will displace the resulting group a distance away from the originating groups? I don't know if this is a random distance or a proportional distance, or if it is dependent on the geometry of the originating elements. This is just an observation, and not necessarily a problem.

The result sometimes displaces... It's to do with the translations of the two groups, I haven't yet worked out how to ensure it always snaps over the original - the displacement is the bounds of the new group v. the originals...

Thanks for the ideas...
Peace, hello: I am happy that the website is active ?
My Farsi is not so good...

TIG,

Very grateful for your talent, and for sharing.

Thank you.
