[Plugin] PipeAlongPath
-
@TIG PipeAlongPath and ExtrudeAlongPath are not working in 2024. They only create profile but fail extrude it aling the path.
Any chance to fix it please? -
I just tested PipeAlongPath and it works fine in 2024 - what's your issue...
Do you have the newest v2.2 - but it is 10 years old !ExtrudeAlongPath - what is that ? It's not part of the current Extrude Toolset and it's not in the PluginStore...

@TIG thanks for reply!
I attach 2 old rubies of yours
ExtrudeAlongPath and TubeAlongPath:

I found that pipe along the path can (kinda) substitute the tube if inner radius is set to zero. My only complain is both Pipe and TubeAlongPath doesn't process multiple paths at once (I recall I humbly requested to improve it years ago )
There is still problem with ExtrudeAlongPath - I described it above, it doesn't extrudes. Could you please make it work in 2024?P.S\Offtopic: Is the option to attach files in the NEW forum gone
? -

"no" try drag drop

@Rich-O-Brien good to know, thank you
-
@rv1974 you're "welcome"

@Rich-O-Brien by "" I meant the new forum's design (skin) remaining in the same location. sorry if they hurt your feelings.

lol, thanks for letting me know my feelings are hurt. i didn't realise

TubeAlongPath has been deprecated forever - PipeAlongPath replaces it.
It is 16 years old and expecting a free plugin to be updated is unrealistic.I can't access any of them in your linked RAR file, but I see that ExtrudeAlongPath is 14 years old, and isn't even one of my plugins anymore, having been absorbed into my Extrude Toolset using some other name[s]...
These tools never worked on multiple paths and this late request is unlikely to be fruitful -

Sorry for rar file, I updated the link
>>I see that ExtrudeAlongPath is 14 years old, and isn't even one of my plugins anymore
Author : TIG (c) - this is what I see in this rb file, how it could get stopped to be yours?
Unfortunately Extrude Toolset is waay too less elegant and user friendly -
I can't stop ExtrudeAlongPath being 'mine' - as I wrote it.
However, if you want to fix it then you have my permission to edit it.
Note that it is so old it does not comply with any of the current good coding principles, and even uses some unacceptable $xxx global variables...
That's why it was superseded...And please note that criticizing my newer Extrude Toolset scores you no plus points at all !

@Rich-O-Brien I just tried to drag 'n' drop a rb file - and I was greeted by "not enough privileges" pop-up. "welcome" indeed

RB file uploading was not in the allowed list. Its enabled now.
You're "welcome"

@TIG I'm not critisizing, this is objective fact. Triple Enter is the only thing the ExtrudeAlongPath demands. There's nothing close in terms of ease of use in Extrude toolset (which is designed for more complex things)
-
Rather than prolong this...
Here's the updated v2.0 of the RB, which now meets modern standards etc, and works in v2024 [and earlier]
ExtrudeAlongPath.rb -
@TIG Fantastic, THANK you so much, this ruby is one of the oldest (almost 20 years!) and most usable ones.
Maybe on 20th Anniversary multiple paths support will be added, who knows..
