      The general workaround is to scale the model up by 10 or even 100 temporarily, do the follow me (or other) operation then scale it back.....In any case, scaling is the trick.

      Correct - that was successful . Thanks for your help

    • Follow me problems

      Hi, I am trying to draw a metal dish plate that is pressed and has radiused corners. I tried to draw this using a rectangular block, extruding and then using 'Round Corner' plug-in but the file ended up huge.

      So I tried 'follow me' after laying out the basic rectangle to follow plus the plate shape - with the aim to 'pencil' the inside to fill the bottom inside and back of the dish.

      However whilst it was almost successful, here's what happened - first pic shows the shape, the path to follow and the overall result

      The problem is obvious that in the corners there are gaps in the surfaces. I used smooth edges and tride to fix it from there but to no avail.

      Any clues on what went wrong or how I get these surfaces repaired? ( I tried the arc and pencil tool but ended up with problems )
