      Well TIG, this is a nice script and I hope sweep-two-rails can be done (keeping my fingers crossed ๐Ÿ˜„ ). It could be a big time saver for doing landscape/topographical, asymetrical surfaces.

          Hi All

          I have encountered some strange behaviour of TIG' last Plugin. Have you notice that Experimental SketchyPhysic 3X may block ExtrudeEdges ?

          Using SketchyPhysic 2 , no problem at all .... please let's share your comments

              TIG, very nice plugin... can you improve it to add the option for another rail "edge", thus effectively transforming it into a SWEEP 2 RAILS plugin??
              It's on the list...

              Drool...

                Wow, what a great plugin! Just downloaded it and have been playing around with it and I have had no real problems at all. Had to do some minor clean-up work but nothing unusual. Love it. ๐Ÿ˜„

                        On the face of it, it looks like you aren't making a set of edges and grouping them as the 'profile', and also a set of edges and grouping them as the 'path'... Do this, then select the two groups and run the tool... The error message is telling you you haven't selected two groups...

                        If you have other problems then please expand in your explanation...

                            This is an astounding plugin, I've already found myself using it on lots of 'ordinary' tasks where usually I would have had to stuff around for ages with followme, copypaste, etc.
                            Thank you very much Tig.

                              zoom out must be made before the first dialog box "Orient faces"
                              Without that zoom don't work even at the end ๐Ÿ˜„

                                It fixes a glitch with large mesh group results not zooming properly so that you can see them all...
                                The way it works is that it selects the group, 'zooms selected' and then removes group from selection - fine for modest sized meshes BUT if the group is too large SUp hasn't found the selection to 'zoom to' before the selection is cleared... so I've put the 'remove from selection' part after the first dialog so it has time !
