The path is a component and the profile is a component.FollowMe only works on a path that's 'lines' and a profile that's a face.You can simply explode both components back to edges and a face.The face will now 'extrude' around the path and the result will be in the shared context So for example if you want to make the 'extrusion' inside the path-component.First edit the face-component, select the face and Edit>Copy it to the clipboard.Now exit that edit and edit the path-component, use Edit>Paste-in-Place and a copy of the face is now added into that context.Still within the edit - select the path edges.Still within the edit - now run FollowMe and click on the face.The face will now 'extrude' around the path inside the component.This method leaves the original face component unchanged.An alternative, if you don't want the face component to remain, is to go back to #Select the face-component and Edit>Cut it to the clipboard.Now edit the path-component, use Edit>Paste-in-Place and a copy of the face-component is now added into that context.Still within the edit - select the face-component and Explode it back to be just a 'face'.This time the face-component is no longer there. If it does not, select a setting that does by clicking on it and selecting OK. If you do not have a Yes option, you will not be able to display shadows. SketchUp might have problems running on some Microsoft Windows systems. Then you combine these tools to make models that are more complex.
The same goes for a sliver of a stray face on the opposite corner. It’s only about 1/64” long, but it shouldn’t be there. If I run ThomThom's Solid Inspector extension, it shows me a stray line at one corner. A closer lookInspecting the bottom of the arched feet reveals more small problems.
About the AuthorDavid Heim is a veteran book and magazine editor specializing in woodworking. If my advice strikes you as too obvious, that probably means your models are pretty clean already. ThomThom's CleanUp³ extension helps expedite this process. Clean-upFinally, reduce the file size: purge unused components, use multiple copies of components instead of numerous groups, and compress textures. An oversized bounding box will lead to inaccuracies in the cutlist.
