Currently the "Extrude along path" tool extrudes the profile in such a way that the axis of the path passes through a program-selected point - looks like the centroid of the profile. That's okay for a default, but I would like to have the option to force the axis to pass through any point I choose - like a corner, or the center of a side, or whatever. I suggest this be done by allowing the user to place a 2D locus at that point. This would be parallel to the way the sweep tool works.
