thought. perhaps an option would be good to insert groups or components of two ways -

position> onto face
position> as the original

perhaps, following start of the tool. pressing Ctrl ( switch between insert original and ontoface)

hi chris. I thought a little icon for this plugins

you like?

or

or

chris excellent. very good update.
and innovative user interface, NO?

another example of what could be its plugins.

generated with the same geometry:
1 - draw metal
2 - patchface
3 - extrudeedgesbyface
4 - Extrude Edges by Rails

tig apologize.
do not quite understand what you say.
can place a graphic example "?

My idea is that extrudeedgesbyfaces work equally = that estrudeedgesbyface but with two faces and a rail

tig. excellent plugin. thank you very much.

I have some queries.
watch the video.
I see two problems

• The mesh is generated to the side of the path curve.
  should be generated in the center? As extruded by face

• The faces are not automatically aligned with respect to the path curve.
  the faces are flat
  Perhaps the two options might exist?

  Flat faces
  Faces oriented curve on the tour?

it is possible to correct?

if Tig. It has done something similar.
2 faces + path but it can do, but is more complex.

other plugins that generates something like this is tapermaker. but is limited
only use preset faces in a dialog box

but

Extrude Edges by Face is fantastic plugins. is simple and fast

tig apologize. not understand well what you say.
My idea was that the plugins Extrude Edges by Face, work with both sides and a rail.

like the example attached. ( picture + file )

Operating:

select two sides + a curved edge
run the plugins
generates geometria

this is possible?

Sin título.skp

@tig said:

Yes it can.
Make sure the two Profiles' edges - the circle and the square [welded] - are both Curves.
Make the Rail a Curve too - even if it's only one segment long !
Pick Rail-1 and re-pick it as Rail-2 when prompted...

you say use the extrude edgesbayrailes plugins?

my question is can you do with your extrude edges by face.
that automatically positions the face about the curve

the idea is that works like this plugins
http://www.drawmetal.com/tapermaker

is it possible?

hi tig.
a question.
This plugins can work with 2 face and 1 rail?

for example
initial one face (circle), and a final face (square)

or

initial one face (rectangle), and a final face (square)

or just the same face but with a different scale.

for example

face 1 rectangle of 10cm x 15cm

face 2 rectangle 20cm x 30cm

very good plugins.
perhaps could add two variables.
max and min scale
rotate max and min

is it possible?

TIG excellent update. thank you very much for the speed at which fixes plugins

can you add, optional, the orientation of the face?
similar to the file attachment, or other options for rotation of the face
maybe
align with curved or aligned with the axis, or random alignment

TIG is possible?

I have a problem to install the demo version of vray. can someone help?

use sketchup 7.1 in Spanish
windows xp sp3 in Spanish

[flash=853,505:3gkehgnd]http://www.youtube.com/v/cy_cwWDSZ20&fs=1[/flash:3gkehgnd]

if tig.

I did a test with the same curve at different positions.
And they generate deformations of the face, and rotations of the face

"I agree, this is the answer. To be able to drag & drop buttons to build Toolbars, and then drag & drop Toolbars in a window. It can be done, someone just needs to do it.

There is a plugin named SU Tool that is very close to what I think is the best solution; but it is encrypted (or I'd have "borrowed" it already.) But SU Tool is likely close to what the ultimate solution will look like."

this is the way the plugins PowerSutool organizer works.
to arrange the toolbars.
using a html interface, and a text editor

Maybe this can help find a solution?
