Probably the DrawHelix Ruby and Follow me and Keep Rb FAK.rb
[i]Holy Guggenheim! How did he do that?!!!all the sketchup plugin user hotshots!!! please write a step by step tutorial here.. I'm good at SketchUp but not at all expert in using these awesome plugins.. separate practice is required for mastering these out of the world experience things.!!!!
And I want to draw ramps taking measurements. How to take accurate measurements in helixing??.. I'm an architecture student man!! -

Well excuuuuuuuse MEEEEE!!!!!!. GEEEEEZ!
Actually there is nothing VooDoo like in those 2 rubies. Just download--drop into the Plugins Folder and VOILA you're off to the races! They have On-screen menues and everything. Believe me if I can do it. . .you can. Ask anybody. .. that's saying something!
TIG posted his DRAWHELIX ruby hereWhat I did:
- Draw your ramp cross section profile
- Draw the helix according to your specifactions using the DW13 Ruby. Draw>DrawHelix13
- that comes in as a group. Explode it.
- Select all geometry.
- Go to Plugins>Follow me and Keep
- Voila!
PS I shaped mine ramp using the Fredo Scale tool but I didn't want to go there since you are already mad at me. . .

Thanks a lot everyone for solving my problem... thank you very much... i'll try all your ways.. pilou.. i tried your way after closing the i.e. window and it didn't work yesterday.. today i tried this while keeping the IExplorer window open ..switching tween IE and sketchup and was able to make it... i was making the straight line unequal to ramp length that's where i was having the problem.. but now the ramp is looking **ZABARDAST!!!** [Hindi for Extreme, Awesome or Supercool]...!!! :heart_eyes: **Bahut Bahut Dhanyawaad**[Dhanyawaad=Thank you. .. bahut bahut= very very] :smile: -

Pilou ! How did you get to see what was in my desk drawer ???
Those pens were 'a bugger' - getting the line the right width... then they'd 'blob'......... -
I"m not even sure which of the shown objects were 'pens'.....

The things with adjustable ink-ruling pens with a 'bill' nibs - twiddle the wheel and the gap changes to let out more/less ink as you dip it into the inkwell and then try to draw a consistent width line on a sheet of 'animal skin'

IF you were flush you got the pair of compasses with ruling-pen nib so you could [try] to draw inked circles...
-
Pilou !
How did you get that old picture of me ?
or is it Frank Lloyd Wright ??? -
and the behind of the scene
-
I could do with the face-lift, not the Guggenheim !

[attachment=0:36e57kb5]<!-- ia0 -->bead-of-ink.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:36e57kb5]I got one of them things. Used it in my first year of modelmaking to paint window frames on an architectural building. Never used them before - but found some in the old storage of the office I work at now. They initially caused a bit of a mystery.

This is the 'actual image' [even that is a few years old, as more recent images are no suitable for publication!]
What do you look like ?

My portrait by a very cool guy!
(had with him some very funny threads on the ZBC forum in the past) 
I believe a compatriot to you (same island)

I have a few ruling pens. Cantankerous things. Now that we have Photoshop and Render engines. .. they have gone the way of the AirBrush, The Speedball nib and the and the french Curve. Funny. .. drafting stores still charge for them like they were still in demand.
But we digress. . .

its one of those curvy drawing thingys as shown in the above post. We call them French Curves. . .they come from the same place as French Toast & French Fries - -- America!
