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

[CadFather]

gotcha!..

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

TIG:
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.

[majid]

thanx dear TIG .. it is great. maybe the next step is adding options so that it could do something like Follow me ,+ FollowMe&Keep, but whit a noncouplanar profile (like your scrip is doing)... again :it is great TIG
تیگ عزیز،ممنون از سخاوت تو

[plot-paris]

wow, really a nice plugin! thanks a lot, TIG! jumps out of his seat
(and thanks Gaieus, for pointing me here...)

that is quite a useful tool.
next step: birial operation? (two different path-curves and/or several different base-curves...)

[mitcorb]

As Plot-paris said: "next step: birail operation? (two different path-curves and/or several different base-curves...) and then morph along rails to preset sectional outlines, and who knows what else?

I am currently enjoying some experimentation with this plugin-- craggy curtains, canyon walls, insect "skins"....

Thank you TIG

Great TIG, thanks a lot for this SU enhancement.

Congratulations TIG!

A very useful and well executed script.

Questions/Suggestions:

1- I assume the order in which the two groups were assigned determines the alignment of the mesh; to the last defined of the two selected groups.

2- Not critical, but could there be a Smoothing Dialog that prompts: "a)Smooth or b)Smooth and Soften"?

3- A defaults dialog triggered by pressing the [Tab] key? You'd would then be able to assign defaults of a Yes or No for each prompt and which which dialogs would be shown (if shown, then user could temporarily change their default as the script is playing).

[TIG]

Here's an update...
Version 1.2 20090625
Orientation speed optimised.
Glitch on groups erase fixed.

Wow...!
Many thank you very much ...!

Excellent tool, thank you very much again and a hug from Central America ...!

[massimo]

Hi TIG and many thanks. I've tried both "intersect with self" or not, but nothing changed. A little problem...
