Rotate along a path.
-
Trying to rotate a simple cube along a path, any ideas? I have searched the forums and found reference to a plug-in which is apparently no longer available. Ta.

I think this does what you want http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=200751#p200751

Tried that, thanks. I must have some issues, the plug-in does nothing I can see.

That's a particularly useless 'error report'.
What 'doesn't it do'?
For example...
Download,
Install into the Plugins folder,
Successfully Load,
Appear as an Extension,
Activate as an Extension,
Add menu items/toolbars,
Do something if you have the correct things selected when it is 'run',
Open a dialog,
Work on 'correctly oriented' components...
Print error-messages on screen,
Print error-messages in the Ruby Console
etc
etc...
You can see from this brief list that there were many things you could have offered to us to help us help you...
Please step back a few paces, retry it then post something helpful... -
I appreciate the assistance, I really do. I have the plug-in correctly installed and whatever I di nothing happened. no dialogue box or report of any kind. All I got was the word 'start'.
I have re-tried and had a success, my earlier post was me trying to work out what I was doing wrong and there was nothing for me to describe other than it did 'nothing'. I am going to have a look at what I was doing earlier to trace my error. It is pretty obvious I was the faulty component in this chain.

As an animation?
What kind of path? Straight? Curved? Single segment? Multi-segment?Component Stringer requires you to pre-select the path and component before executing the plugin. It places a copy of the component at the beginning of each segment.
