I am was having problems with 'extrude path'

I closed the program and restarted it and it seems to work now.

It would extrude the path but everything was flat and not 3D. Tried it different ways and nothing changed.

Seems to be fine, but if it happens again I will do a print screen for you to see.

onespirit5777:
Here is one thing that happened during extrude path

onespirit5777:
And another one

Remember, this has only happened once and haven't had any problems again.

Steve:
This is not a bug nor anything new to v0.97c.  Extrude along a path always extrudes the shape in it's local Z direction.  If you add a hexagon in the front view then it's z axis will extend the way that the hexagon is facing.  If you add it in the top view then the z axis will extend out in the plane of the hehagon which will cause yuor extrusion along a path to not do what you want.

Switch to wire frame mode and select your hexagon.  The blue arrow on the pivot is it's axis.  You can rotate the pivot to face out in the pivot edit mode.

VBSmiles:
I remember this when it came out, and originally thought it to be a bug as well. I'm sure it won't be the last time it is brought up.

I think it would be nice if you could have extrude to path work in all directions. ( though probably easier said than implimented )

Not sure what part of the program you are working on next. tools?
