      I will examine that πŸ˜„
      I hope that can be input in the ruby console 😳

      For the French line does it possible to have the original
      because seems the translator gives a very exotic result πŸ˜†
      something like that! 🀣

          It's actually the same is English !
          Even the same word, but without the 'e'.
          Means much the same thing, 'faire pipi'...
          We say "taking the " = making an unwelcome joke.
          A convoluted way of saying someone is making a bad joke at your expense is to say, "You are extracting the urine, aren't you?".
          C'est comme 'chier' ?
          Noteworthy: to be "ed" is to be drunk [intoxicated] in the UK, but it means very fed-up or in a bad mood in the USA.
          In the UK we would used "ed off" to be very fed-up or in a bad mood...
          Which confusing is a vulgar way of saying that someone has left unexpectedly [probably in a bad mood] - e.g. "He's ed off !" = He has [just] left here.
          Then to be on the '
          ' is to be out on the town drinking.
          To be a drunk is a to be a '
          -head' [pejorative].
          To waste something valuable is to '
          it up the wall'.
          Whilst something of unacceptably low quality is said to be '
          -poor' !
          In construction '****ed' means to be out of plumb - not vertical: e.g. "That door-frame is ****ed".

          All very confusing πŸ˜•

            Ok I see what do you mean πŸ˜„
            But that is absolutly not the same in French πŸ˜‰
            That don't exist with this liquid for these meanings! πŸ’š
            A very familiar slang can be "vous vous foutez de moi" = you exagerate, you overpass the limits, you take me for a fool...
            (or "tu te fous de moi" between best friends )
            A convoluted way of saying someone is making a bad joke at your expense is to say
            More elegant : "Vous vous moquez du monde", "Vous ne manquez pas d'air", "vous me prenez pour un pigeon, une andouille" etc... πŸ˜†
            "Vous me faites chier" is the ultimate, insurmontable, for something who is absolutly obstrusive disturbing in the univers of the person! πŸ˜‰
            But very slanguy language indeed! πŸ˜’

                  I don't see how I could do the same with else tools

                  Maybe 2 faces + path + FFD(or fredoscale) πŸ˜‰

                  Hi Pilou πŸ˜‰

                  First, using "Extrude Edges by Rails to Lattice"

                  1. I had kept the perfect control on the general shape ( I think it's not possible at such degree with FFD or even with Fredoscale )
                    2)I had presently used a simple grid of rails, so I could do it by hand (erasing unwanted in the skinned shape). I can't imagine to achieve the same on a real large number of curves without the help of EEbRtL ..

                  Secondly, you are right for Kirill "2 faces + path" which plays in the same playground with "ExtrudeEdgesByFaces"

                    It now has 'Diagonals' as an option.

                    This new tool is already but still growing an absolute "must have". Thank you so much Tig!

                    Reversing the order of picking the Rails swaps the direction of the diagonals.
                    very elegant solution indeed πŸ˜‰

                          There's a new version of EEbyRailsToLattice in the zipped set.
                          The change is to the way the Line only versions are Grouped...

                              Thank you Robert,
                              very simple.

                              RE: take care to carefully place the component axis (the blue axis is going to follow the curves)

                              Then You will need Component Stringer from (our wellknown very nice fellow) Chris Fullmer

                              It is recommended to apply a shortcut to this plugin :_ Window/ Preferences/ Shortcuts: for example Alt+c
                              Because we have now to apply it one by one to each diagonal curve.

                                  If the profiles and rails are parallel [copied etc] the diagonal lines are not needed for face forming - hence the prompt to remove them.
                                  BUT if you make a lattice of the two sets of diagonals [regrouped and exploded], then they do not make coplanar quads and so they can't take faces - of course by adding a diagonal to a quad it will face, but then you have then gone 'full circle' and might as well have used plain EEbyRails in the first place !
                                  So diagonal 'diamond' lattices won't take faces.
                                  This is about as near as you can get - make a quarter using EEbyRails, copy the mesh to one side, Scale -1 to mirror the diagonals and overlay the two so the 'diamonds' form, then manually erase the unneeded orthogonal lines to get the diagonal lattice - note it must have some horizontals to let it 'bend' over. Rotate-Copy x3 to form the whole. Now use Windowizer to add the frames/panes ?Capture.PNG

                                      But for this sort of thing prefer this maybe more easy πŸ˜‰
                                      I have used Windowiser by Rick Wilson and this little useful plug of Multiple face Offset by Remus, Selection Toy by Thomthom and of course your Inverse Selection! πŸ‘

                                            Thanks TIG, truly marvelous tool!!
                                            one question, though - is there a function to generate 3d geometries on the diagonals? the same effect of "extrude edges by rail by face" but for diagonals.
                                            right now i can get the diagonal lines using "extrude---to lattice", but i'll have to "follow me" each line with a profile.
                                            thanks a lot!
