The Right Question :

How to change the (normal) of line so the direction of extrude modifier will change also .
OR :
(making the extrude modifier have an option like local X,Y,Z direction)
in this way there is no need to attatch the line to another one with correct normal direction .

This fn do the right job.
Options:
*theShape - spline that you need extrusion
*offset - extrude/offset value
*type - choose three type of extrusion:#center, #in or #out pivot alignement
*banking along the spline (on or off)

fn extrudeSplineXY theShape offset: type: bank: = if isKindOf theShape Shape do ( local ext = offset as float profile = SplineShape pos:(point3 0 0 0) addNewSpline profile addKnot profile 1 #corner #line (point3 (ext/2) 0 0) addKnot profile 1 #corner #line (point3 (-ext/2) 0 0) updateShape profile local sweepMod = sweep CustomShape:1 GenerateMappingCoords:on Banking:bank case type of ( (#center): sweepMod.PivotAlignment = 4 (#in): sweepMod.PivotAlignment = 7 (#out): sweepMod.PivotAlignment = 1 ) sweepMod.shapes[1] = profile addModifier theShape sweepMod delete profile ) extrudeSplineXY $ offset:10 type:#in bank:on

This is a way for you to

This is a way for you to develop your tool...

sel = $
applyOffset $ ey
select sel
modPanel.addModToSelection (Extrude ()) ui:on
$.modifiers[#Extrude].amount = ez
 
)
 
 
extrudeLine 5 10
