      This is a great plugin, I have been using it in Sketchup 2017, however it doesn't seem to work/install in Sketchup 2018!
      Anyone else got it to work in Sketchup 2018?
      Thanks,
      Jez.

            Is it possible to find input on a helix I already drew? Or to match properties? Once I move on to another curve or experiment with scaling the helix I'm not able to find details on my previous input.

            Thanks!

                  The PluginStore entry downloads just fine...

                      To what are you referring? This extension installs and works fine in all versions of SketchUp.

                      Please correct your forum profile. There is no Free/Make version of SketchUp 2022 as you pit in your profile.

                        Hello !
                        Using Sketchup 2024 on MacOS, I have a very small problem with the plugin, which is that I can't find a way to not let the plugin show when the project starts up, ( I mean the floating shortcut not the shortcut in the pref bar )
                        Thank you!

                          @Aurora2017SRL what do you mean by "floating shortcut"? Are you referring to the panel where you enter the values?

                            This extension [actually a plugin] is well over a decade old !
                            It's also encrypted in the old RBS format.
                            It's unlikely to get updated.

                            Luckily the toolbar's code is in the editable RB file...
                            Find the file in Plugins, it's named Helix-along-curve-tool-0.9.rb
                            Edit it with a plain text editor [Notepad++ or on MAC bbedit || wrangler ?]
                            Find the line
                            helixD_bar.show
                            and edit it, adding extra text to read
                            helixD_bar.show if helixD_bar.get_last_state.abs == 1 # TB_VISIBLE/NEVER
                            Save the changes and restart SketchUp.
                            Now the toolbar's status will be remembered across sessions - i.e. either visible or off
