      Make sure the FollowMe face is square to the start of the path...
      But... I suspect that it's a 'small geometry' issue. 😲
      SketchUp baulks at edges < 1/1000" !
      So... try Scaling up x100, do the FollowMe, then Scale down again.

      ALSO - your faces are 'backwards' - use the context-menu option to reverse those faces - so no 'blue' backsides are seen...

        thanks TIG

        I've tested previously Change scale But in this case does not respond.
        Currently backwards are not allergic and problem with follow me priority. Otherwise You're right, and must be Take care of our backwards .

        You could model correct with this file ?

          You should place your face outside of the profile...

              I've done it with the original scale.
              I think the trick is the position of the face outside of the path...

                I know, but scaling up/down can't hurt 😉

                    Your problem is inherent to FollowMe. Basically, if offset fails then FollowMe fails. There is a script here which handles some of these special cases. The script does not deal with loops so you have to join the frame manually with pushpull.
