In one of his posts here Didier said his site was down for maintenance (or what) and should be online about today or so...

Thanks for the update, sir.

Didier,
thank you for this great script!

I'm wondering ... Can you make it work like the follow-me tool so that you can pick the path before selecting the lines to extrude and they would follow that path?

like this image:

It would be great for creating low-poly roof flashing around a complex roof, or for low-poly sunshades with all those blades, so you don't have to make them with thickness, etc.

here's a conversation for this a few months back

just a thought: It would be great to implement the ExtrudelineTool completely into SketchUp by making the push/pull tool work on selected lines. so the push/pull tool works as normal, but if some lines are selected beforehand, it works on these lines like your ExtrudelineTool.

(however, I asume that ruby doesn't give you acces to the native SketchUp tools, right? therefore this idea should be in the wish list section )

Thanks for Updates, Sir!
But I have an idea, hope your scripts have one more option.
The follow me tool twisted the face along the 3d path, so can you fix it by make the line always parabel to a selected face? or more simple, the line always parabel to OXY or OXZ or OYZ of WorldXYZ.
Thanks again and sorry about my terible English.
