My water slide becomes a death trap

100% casualities..
I made a helix with the Curve Maker plugin, then used the Pipe Along Path plugin to make a spring like shape. After that I sliced the pipe with the follow me tool. The result is in the attached picture.
Is it possible to make the slice only follow the top half, so the slice doesn´t rotate around the tube?
I´m not expecting an easy answer (or any at all) on this one, seems complex, but maybe I missed some vital detail when constructing the object?
Thanks!

Have you tried Eneroth's Upright Extruder?
You could do the whole thing much more easily if you simply drew the final profile at the end of the helix rather than making the pipe and cutting it off.
-
Right, tried that. Could´ve skipped the pipe plugin. Thanks.
I will try the Upright extruder now.
-
NICE! Now it came out correct!
-
Hey! The pipe plugin is somewhat pointless just struck me now
-
Well, not so much if you need to draw pipes. It's pretty nice to be able to pick a path and call the plugin. But for extruding other shapes, yeah. I guess that's why it isn't called Other Shapes Along Path.

It's available in the Extension Warehouse as well as the SCF Plugin Store. Look for 'Eneroth' or Julia Christina Eneroth. She's made quite a few cool plugins you might find useful.
