[Plugin] Extrude Edges by Rails

TIG:
Thank you very much for sharing v2-1. In your honor, I renamed my copy of the zip file TIG-EExRv2-1. This will also help me to identify the file for housekeeping.
You really are a very talented non-sleeper.
Best regards,

Thanks TIG! This is what I've been waiting for! It will help me with making the hull of the Brazilian steam frigate Amazonas and some other 19th century warships that are waiting to be made in 3D.

Dear All,
Having read through all the posts, and noted all the different examples and advice on how best to use this plugin, it seems to me that now would be the time to collect the body of knowledge encompassed by the many posts into a succinct User/Readme document (preferably a .pdf document). Anyone feel like doing this? I would, but I'm much too lazy, and I think TIG is probably too busy.
Kind regards,
Bob -

As I understand, the melding profile is optional. I don't see the switch/option to disallow this in 2.1, or is there one?
I do have the toolbar icon loaded. -

I do have the toolbar icon loaded.In this Tool both Rail-2 AND the Melding-Profile are 'optional' BUT you must still pick four things...
- Pick the Profile
- Pick Rail-1 [can be any Curve except the Profile]
- Pick Rail-2 [can be any Curve except the Profile] OR you can re-pick Rail-1 which will then be 'repeated' at the other end of the Profile as Rail-2
- Pick Melding-Profile [can be any Curve except the Rails] OR you can re-pick the Profile which will then be 'repeated' at the other end of the Rails as the Melding-Profile
-
That clears it up for me.
Thank you, TIG -

it doesn't work well...why??? on OSX 10.5.8 SU version 6
Easiest way to get that to happen is to click out of sequence. or by re-using the same profiles, there's lots of tips to avoid that in previous posts, any by me were done on 10.5.8 with SU7 (may make a difference, but I haven't seen any reports on that front)
keep trying, it's well worth it.

The more I use this tool the happier I become

A ply chair in the making, Boo?

It looks like a great tool, only if it worked for me... so here is the problem: I downloaded, unzipped, installed, it shows in "plugins" and "view""toolbar" and I also have a nice icon. I draw one curve, a second and a third, I click on icon EEbR (I just downloaded v2.1) and the msg. at the bottom displays to click on profile curve, I do, askes to click on 1st rail, I do, askes to click on 2nd rail, I do and finally it askes to click on melding profile (profile curve), I do. Then it ask few questions like do I want reverse 1st rail, do I want reverse faces and etc. . Once it's done IT DOES NOTHING it only shows some crosses on my profile curve. So I read the whole topic and msgs over and oaver again, reinstalled it, I even downloaded TIGs example on page 6 (seems like the same problem as "dicoy88" pg. 6) and it would not work... anyone know why?
thanks
Oh, and I have a SU v6 -
Try it with another version of SU!
Rename your SU folder first for have no overwrite of your curent version! -

I'm still unsure why this is happening to a small handful of users - I can't reproduce it at my end - can you PM me an example problem SKP with the curves etc and perhaps so text added to them to show the order of picking the [1/2/3/4] ? -
Could this condition be related to another author's plugin that somehow preconditions the session? Or is this just farfetched?

Thanks for the idea, but I don't think it's a clash - EEbyRails has no 'global variables' etc...
-
Could it be some plugin modifying one of the base classes..?
-
I'll be waiting for a new updated version, till then I'll work on trying to figure out what is the problem.
