Yes, it sounds perfect. I'll try both options and see which is best for my work-flow. Thank you again (for both helping and the plugin ;o) )

Hi folks. Using the "Follow me" tool on this path that goes around and up and down will result in an unavoidable twisting of the facet. Using the "Follow and keep" plugin may help. Also, try to use an arc with as few segments as you can to minimise edges and face count. Three or four segments shall suffice to give a neat look. You may even try simply smoothing the edges at the interscetion of the two shapes to see if the "rounded" look may be sufficient. Just ideas.

i think if anyone has a copy it would be nice if they posted it and Jim could get a copy back. Maybe you could list all the plugins you lost. i'm sure there are copies hangin around.

Sorry for double post, must've pressed the wrong button

That might work as you can get the plane from a selected section-cut BUT then working out the offset for each selected edge etc and the fact that any fudged dimension-adding-tool will not leave its dimensions 'associated', makes it somewhat useless... The built-in tool is already pretty quick to use and gives you the ability to fine tune where the dim is, snap to align etc...
