        Hi hsjyangbin,

        I think you meant to ask Kirill. He's the one who wrote the plugin.

        I have no idea about code. lol

                I am having some difficulty with this shape. It is a spiral with a shape, and it tapers as it it travels down the spiral.

                I thought this plug would work but I am getting odd results.

                Any ideas?

                Thank you for all,

                  Use the Perpendicular face tool by Chris Fullmer for put your 2 faces at the extremities of the curve!
                  Don't take care of their positions explode the groups select all
                  and launch 2 faces + path 😉

                    Hi Frenchy,

                    I used that when I set up the model. Also tried flipping the normals on the shaped ends, various options in the dialog box, its not behaving like I thought. Driving me crazy

                      Maybe it's your curve! I have drawn a new one 😉

                        I was guessing it may be that the spiral was precisely formed.

                        I'm trying but I still can't get it.

                            Thank you much, Kirill.

                            I'm trying to get up to speed. Not being a ruby cooker, I am ignorant of why a straight 'curve' is needed rather than an edge, multi- segmented or not, though you clearly state that a curve path is what is required. I wish error messages could be generated to help users, say if they make selection errors. Or perhaps that the plug be made to work with edge paths, so slow-witted users wouldn't need error messages.... So much.

                              You may try new version of 'LSS Toolbar' instead of '2 Faces + Path' plugin.
                              New version of 'LSS Toolbar' is still under construction, but fortunately '2 faces + path' tool is already implemented and work even more stable, than '2 Faces + Path ver. 1.5' stand-alone plugin.
                              You may take a look at demonstration video at https://sites.google.com/site/lssoft2011/home/lss-toolbar

                                Interesting, Kirill. The first try gave me this result. I would expect a smoother transition from the circle to the lozenge shape. Any suggestions on a way to make the transition correctly?

                                  Yes you can use 2 command buttons within '2 Faces + Path' section of web-dialog:

                                  • Flip face normal
                                  • Rotate face to dock vertices with other face
                                    It is also possible to fix the situation after 'pathface entity' generation: you can rotate any of two faces manually and refresh 'pathface entity'.

                                    I promise, that I'll write some manuals after 'LSS Toolbar' functionality update completion.

                                    looks and sounds good.
                                    been waiting for the new LSS Toolbar.
                                    thank you kirill.
