Extrude Along Path

[JSiegel]

It would be nice to have the option to select the "edge" of an object as the base point for "extrude along path" rather than the centroid. As when using the feature with its present settings requires 1) drawing reference path 2) determining 1/2 the distance x & z 3) offsetting reference path by x dimension 4) changing view to a "side" view 5) moving object in the z plane... could be much simpler.

Jeremy, there is an easier way, although still requires an extra step. Create the EAP object and don;t worry about offsetting the profile object. After creation double click the object and choose Edit Profile, then simply move the profile object such that it's edge(s) align with the crosshairs in the dialogs. Upon exiting your object should be properly aligned. I admit that you have a 50/50 chance to get this right the first time, but it's really quick... P

Peter, that worked perfectly.... I retract my request ; ) J
