      You make a plug by a day! 😮
      That is a good average 😄 😉

      PS An automatic order Selection curves will be fine for exemple in case of use plug like Grow by TIG? 😉

          Thank-you so much TIG for the cool new tool and the pictures to go along with it.

          Best,

              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 😒

                            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.

                                Thomthom is working on a Vertex-Editor. which I think would become the basis of this editing tool ?

                                      UNREAL!!!!!! You are the man TIG!!!! 👍 👍

                                      I'm starting really wish you would take these algorithms and write a new plugin to handle making terrains similar to "From Contours" but without the rats nest of a mesh the native tool creates. Your meshes are so smooth. Google needs you on staff immediately with a nice fat salary so you can code to your hearts content!

                                        I don't know if this is another Mac peculiarity but I get very strange results. From three circles (two copies plus an original), when I would expect a cylinder to result, I get this:-

                                        I attach the skp file just in case there is something weird lurking in it.
