        One option I would love:
        variable pitch.
        Any can dream.

                              Congratulations:
                              This appears to be a very robust and refined version of helical construction.

                                    Hi 3dalbertsoft,

                                    Here's an attempt at a helix. I have one question, why is the radius of the tube limited?

                                    Charly

                                      Karlheinz Hi, thanks for the image , this limitation occurs only if the program detects that could be built with very small length edges, there are circumstances in which the radius of the tube not allows the correct construction of all polygons in each ring that make up the tube, since this plugin is supported by followme tool of SketchUp, this limitation is needed to avoid bugs splats, but in the future could incorporate a tool "followme" own specialized for the needs of this plugin, which would avoid the need for the limitation.

                                      You can try the tips mentioned in the alert message, may be helpful

                                        It is also possible to use this plugin to make a random offset

                                          Hi, 3dalbertsoft:
                                          I see the Create Tube parameter highlighted, but I do not see the parameter that determines the offset to be the jagged profile. Or, as usual, did I miss something?

                                          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.
