        I suspect that the combination of tiny segments in the profile face perimeter and the path curves is resulting in the well know tolerance issue.
        Sketchup will not create edges shorter than 1/1000" - its tolerance.
        Causing issues with missing or overlapping geometry.

        The workaround is to do the FollowMe at a bigger size, thereby avoiding the issue.
        Select the path and the profile and make them into a component.
        Copy the component to one side and Scale the copy x1000.
        Edit that copy and do the FollowMe.
        Because everything is bigger the tiny edges issue is sidestepped.
        Exit the edit and delete the copy.
        Because the original component was also changed by the FollowMe you should see that as being fixed too.
        Tiny geometry can exist but it cannot be created from scratch.

          Thx TIG!

          I tried scale tool as you told me but it didn't work that well
          maybe I couldn't fully understand and follow your explaination

          but I got it when I made the radius of arcs lot bigger (maybe this was your suggetion, too)

          I havent tried shape bender yet but hope it works,too

          thanx again!
