      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.

                          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.

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