      i was drawing this while you replied (which is what d12dozr was saying) but i think it might actually be what you're talking about except you'd like the orange ribbon to be a much tighter spin and it wraps around letters?.. if so, i don't think there's a one click method for that..

        i'm sorta sure this isn't what you're after but i got stuck on the idea of it and had to figure it out.. let's hope this isn't what you're trying to draw -or- someone has an easier/faster method than mine.. this took over an hour 😆

                  Here's the Down and Dirty tutorial..

                  Ell_Down-N-Dirty_tut.skp

                  component stringer will repeat a component along a path.. you can also set it to rotate that component along the path.

                        8 minutes: With the same procedure as I said initially...
                        Although not is it what the moderator need for its job

                            Hi Solo,

                            Is that what you want to do? I used in this example GROW and CURVILOFT. With GROW you can manipulate almost all parameters. Other options are the diameter of the circle and the angle of the edge. The process is very easy.

                            Charly

                              GROW and CURVILOFT are a good combination for many profile designs.
