Thank You, d12dozr...give me a few minutes. I need to strip the two lines from my model.

Good afternoon (ET), all...I have been reviewing all of the plugins listed on this forum, as well as others mentioned. I have two "J" shaped parallel lines with the right side line with a slight arc and kink. Is there a "Follow Me" plugin that will follow these two lines where the left side profile follows the left "J" and the right side of the profile follows the right side "J" with variations? The single line Follow Me works perfectly bending around the curvature of the "J". Perhaps two Follow Mes and somehow joining them? Thank You...Bob

New member here. Hoping that I've found the package I've been seeking.
I'm an old retired programmer. I am now into designing and producing professional pitching horseshoes. For the last two years I've developed my patterns using traditional woodworking equipment. My latest designs are more appropriately developed using 3D graphics. I've experimented with a variety of packages and seem to be able to do most of what I want using SketchUp. However, a common requirement for foundry work is the need to produce patterns with "draft", usually 3 degrees. It is necessary to add a little angle from bottom to top of any pattern to enable the removal of the pattern from the sand filled flask. I've begun the process of looking at the various plugins to see if one offers this capability. The main problem is when adding "draft" of 3 degrees to an extruded curve. I have been able to create some portions of the design using the "Follow Me" tool, however, there are some portions not easily created. Hoping there are some foundry types who have solved this problem. Looking forward to delving more deeply into this excellent product. Regards...Bob
