Another one to be added to the list soon....

Originally designed for building steam domes for locomotives it has many applications.

It works similarly to a normal extrude, but it performs several at once and attempts to follow a smooth arc of 90 degrees.

The interface below shows the parameters you can enter - the first 2 are the same as the extrude operation.
Extrusions is the number of steps to use in the extrusion (a value of 1 gives the same result as a normal extrude)

Scale is a degree of curvature - 1 means full curve, 0 mean straight edge - values outside 0 to 1 are allowed but results may be unpredictable.

This was created with two runs of the plugin, with a positive then negative bevel...

Hello PaulGausden,
 It doesn't seem to matter where I set the bevel I get a flat top. Could you give me your settings for the mushroom so I can try to duplicate, please?

Hi KB,

I ran the plugin twice...

Create a cylinder primitive
Select top surface, extrude 2,1,3,0.7
Select new top surface, extrude -2,1,4,1

(I don't have a copy here, so I can't check this, but in theory this should work)

Regards

Paul
