                      Though it skips segments in the very first try.

                        Without the skp to try I'm unsure what's up...
                        Are the curves continuous - it would help it they had the same number of segments [although that IS meant to be coped with].
                        Can you post [or PM me] a skp displaying this glitch ?

                                I've tested your skp and I agree that the tool has a glitch - for some reason it's missing out a part of the mesh in the latter/earlier stages - the two versions I first illustrate below are by picking the curves in their reverse order - different bits get missed out...
                                The original has curves with varying edge counts...
                                In the 'copy' I edited the curves so each has 12 edges [or 24 for the S one] - to make them readily sub-dividable - now it works fine - so it must be a bug in the re-division of the edges to try and get them to match each other - also used in EEbyRails incidentally
                                I'll debug and get back to you...
                                In the meanwhile please use curves with more closely related edge counts - they will work... any number SHOULD work...

                                  I see that the problem is that the 6-segment zigzag is being divided into pieces of four to match the 24-segment S-curve BUT at one point it's becoming 1 piece short [3] and at another one too many [5] so that the 'apportionment' of the edges goes wrong and it fails - so at least I have the effect... but now to find the cause ๐Ÿ˜’

                                    And what logically follows in the ExtrudeTools collection?
                                    It was inevitable. Thank you, TIG

                                      TIG:
                                      What would it take to make the resultant mesh into a Bezier mesh? Or am I talking about another tool?
                                      In other words after generating the mesh, you could modify it by Bezier control points that would allow you to pull and stretch the mesh like a rubber sheet, and even unfold some unwanted contortions.

                                      I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.
