Below is a W.I.P. made with TIG's extrude plugins. I drink a toast to you and your genius, TIG. (Sorry that the cup is empty, but I already drank the toast.

TIG, thank you for this most excellent tool. It made these twisted spindles absolutely trivial to draw. And lightweight at 47 Kb, too.

Possible?

That'd make it the Bezier-surface-editor that ThomThom's working on ?
You could add a central 'spine' curve scaled/adjusted as desired and make the mesh in two halves that you recombine later on - erasing coplanar edges etc... To quickly make the spine-rail divide the profile into two equal parts and weld back, then use EEbyRailsToLattice > Rails only - then adjust the central spine-rail as desired and use that curve as a rail twice to make the two meshes you'll later combine.... -
I just want to be able to place Cpoints here and there as anchors for the mesh. It's not possible? [under one tool]

davs001 from 'CatchUp Edition 4' thread ...: I have problems when I followed the niche tutorial. When I tried to use Extrude Edges by Rails in SU8, it allow me to select the profile, rails, etc. but nothing happens. I changed to SU7 and the extruded surface came up immediately. This is my second Issue with SU8β¦
Your help please...
[I've split the thread off into EEbyRails...]
Assuming you follow the steps correctly as prompted there should be no issues with EEbyRails
There are some rare clashes with other scripts that change base classes - like group - ill-advisedly... These then stop some tools like Mirror, EEbyRails... and 2dBoolean - actually it's more common in v7 than v8
Some culprit scripts are DrivingDimensions[seen with v7 only - so far], SketchyPhysics[some versions] and a few pretty unusual tools I can recall off hand but you are unlikely to have loading...
The scripts that fail are doing nothing wrong - the 'rogue' scripts are messing with the way Sketchup handles groups etc... -

I did the same steps in SU8 and SU7. they allow me to select all the elements. The difference is, in SU8 after selecting the melding profile nothing happens, but in SU7 it generates the surface immediately. May I offer you some information to diagnose the issue?
Kind Regards from CHILE! -
If you try it with the Ruby Console open do you get any error messages?
Most of users [99.9%] have no problems with any 'version'.
You must either have something wrongly installed OR [more likely] an unusual script loading that's messing with stuff !
So - error messages and/or a list of loading plugins, please... -

See here for notes and link http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=201286#p201286 ( QF 0.4 will change the definition of a QuadFace slightly, after a discussion I had with Fredo. But I'll be offering a conversion tool, so it should be of no trouble for users to get things working while the new definition is rolled out. I'll let you know when it's shipping ready. )

Version 3.4 has been released - it now includes a 'Quad Face' option [smoothed+soft+hidden diagonals only] to complement thomthom's imminent Quad-Tools...

The Quad Faces option now meets latest changes to Thomthom's spec.

Please help!!! "Extrude Edges by Lines" does not work with edges and circles as the path. The Edge does not rotate at the center of the circle.
I prefer to use extrusion tools instead of "follow me", with follow Me i would use the Circle as the path and delete the unnessassery faces...
