            Hi,
            I have missed the website for a bit and I see this wonderful plugin!
            I was waiting for that since long time....for many shapes i was still using rhino's tool:sweep2rails.
            I am going to play with that but I want to ask:
            I create due rails e my curve profile and it works well, but if I would like just a line rather than a curve....it looks like an error.
            Sorry probably i have to read better, anyone has a simple answer?

            thank you.

              I am still trying...but not results... ๐Ÿ˜ž
              When i try to select a simple line rather than a curve (just the first step before the selection of the 2 rails), it is impossible to select anything, but if i draw a curve it wors immediately.
              It looks like strange!
              I know....it is a stupid error by me!

                    Job Done!
                    I needed so much that script working well because i need to create something like that:

                    http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/1400/catturaspirale.jpg

                    I have seen something similar in this topic.
                    I need 2 different spiral curve and then a surface that run through the 2 spirals.
                    Any tips?

                      No problem
                      Draw your 2 helix curves and just one "divided line"
                      Call the plug, CLick the line, CLick curve rail 1, click curve rail 2, click again the line!

                      I suggest you to draw just one module then make a group or a component then copy past it!

                        Quick and without problems!
                        I have tried to download the plugin "curvemaker" from the website http://www.drawmetal.com but the website doesn't work. Any info about that?
                        I think that could be a good plugin.

                        thanks a lot!

                          so you must use another plug or draw your module curves by hand ๐Ÿ˜‰

                            Right click : divide your line ? ๐Ÿ˜‰
                            And weld them in any case or if you have several in connection! โ˜€

                                      even tried tig's example file from the second page of this post so i don't think its the files. maybe i'm missing some other file that's needed. like progress bar or something although i know its not that.

                                        Works perfect for me? Here's a snapshot of my plugin folder if you wanna see how it compares to yours?
