Move face to wire
Then used follow me

FollowMe can 'twist' as it extrudes...
FAK does not 'twist'...
Which is often what is required -
Then laugh maniacally as the children fly off to their death on the first curve.
Oops Tig slipped in there to explain what I was referring to before I said it.

That the point why the drawhelix13 tool to create a spiral is not a good ideal in general. The top and bottom of his spiral is inverted. What he need is a coil not a spring to use sketchup push-pull tool.So the tool (FAK [FollowMeAndKeep]) you refer too. works well with helix spring for a slide. good ideal.
huh? the draw helix tool has nothing to do with it..
normal sketchup follow me doesn't have a 'road-like top' option.. (or in other sketchup lingo, it will not auto-fold edges)in the case of this slide, the vertical faces need to break (triangulate) in order to keep a level top but follow-me won't do that.. it keeps all the sidewall faces coplanar which leads to the twist..
hence the need for a plugin.

i can think of about 11 different things you mean by that.. none of them related to one another.
mystery is good though.. matches you're avatar

The tingle may be FollowMe Helix. Look it up in the Candy Sto-- uh I mean the Plugins Index. Also, I believe DrawHelix is up to 1.4. And here comes somebody else.

Hee hee! ha ha!
That the point why the drawhelix14 tool to create a spiral slide with SU follow me tool is not a good ideal in general. The wire spiral is always twisted. What he need is a flat coil slinkey not a twisted wire spring to use for the slide.
So the tool (FAK [FollowMeAndKeep]) you refer too. works well with helix spring for a slide. Good ideal.

I tried out FAK today on Vista SU 8 M2
The tool (FAK [FollowMeAndKeep]) you refer too. works well with helix spring for a slide. Good ideal. I also agree with you all now about the curve problem.
