-
Mamma mia, this is a great learning experience!
Thank you very much Blajinov and TIG for your help, is much appreciated!

Blajnov - exactly did you do that I can't reproduce it ???
I enclose a file with scenes of action
-
I see now...
So to recap: DON'T use EEbyRails for making Fillets between Rounded Legs and Arms etc - instead USE Fredo's 'Round Corners' - it's quicker and produces better results !
Blajnov - it might be best if you edit / retitled your SKP without reference to EEbyR, to avoid confusion
-
Here's a way to make a Multi-Railed Mesh with EEbyRails by making sub-meshes and combining them...

Awesome plugin! Thanks!

I don't understand you diagram.
You can already do this ?
Are you wanting some sort of 2-face FollowMe ? Just use the faces edges [welded into a curve] as your Rails ?
With EEbyRv2 [that is about to be launched] you will be able to choose the Profile, Rail1 and Rail2 and then a 'Melding-Profile' that fixes the end form too - is that what you want ? It will allow a definite start and end profile location form to be predefined...

next:I wish it could be add rotate and scale function

Yes,it could be "2-face +2-path+FollowMe"
I also do not have this plug-in, I use the LATHE. RB command generates images shown, as you said, the first path to the same, choose the second Rails as a control Rails
"lathe" you can see it http://www.sketchupbbs.com/thread-40382-1-1.html -

Your proposal for my plug-in very useful, thank you!
-
very fun indeed. Is there a toolbar? I get the command in my Plugins Tab, but Is there an onscreen toolbar as well?
-
No Toolbar yet OR webdialog BUT it's on the list - trying to get v2 and segmentation right first...

Here's v2 - now allows a final 'melding-profile' if desired and facets minimized... -
Here's some examples of EEbyRails v2

Amazing work on the new version. You've created almost a patch method with really clean mesh results. THis is going to make a lot of people happy!
-
Thank you TIG!! Amazing!!!
This plugin deserves its own toolbar... what about adding one?

Daniel SThanks for the button pngs.
Now I've got it working v2.1 will probably have a toolbar and I'm looking at consolidating the closing dialogs into a single [web]dialog... Might take a good few days as I am busy on other things right now... -
Thanks TIG, I'm sure that this is gonna be one of my most used rubies. Awesome work.
