Before I give up on you…
Your ‘seed’ geometry might well be bigger than ‘tiny’ BUT the follow-me surface will almost certainly have tiny facets as it tries to wrap the geometry at the ends etc these edges will be tiny and will fail to form.
This is not just a follow-me issue - any operation which creates geometry is at risk - e.g. solid-tools subtraction make non-solid results… the same workaround can be used with this.

yes. 3d modelling tends to be more complex than most people expect. and frustrating. no matter the software.

Happy you got to some sort of misunderstanding that works for you. I’ll add you to my ignore list so I won’t annoy you in future.
Sounds great! I am glad to see that you’re beginning to understand the value of your time—SketchUp makes the profit, not you, unless you work for SketchUp 
Interesting! That sort of makes more sense than just saying 1mm is the limit for sketchup.
Obviously you don’t understand the value of simply being there.
Oh no, it takes time to understand how to deal with people here.
Basically I should’ve just asked my question and waited for answers and didn’t have to reply.
Do not reply is the most important lesson of the day! 
Thanks again! Bye now!
Just for anyone reading this in the ‘after’ editing has happened.
Don’t worry, nobody is reading this. The post is removed by the team.
I was worried.
Your right about waiting for all the answers. Sketch-up has a language of it’s own. It is easy to be confused, if you don’t have a background in Sketch Up 3D modeling. Patience and thick skin helps.

Very true. I am a woodworker and 3D modeling is not my lifestyle. As for your comment regarding having a thick skin, I think the solution is to give 
to them, to keep their ego getting more value. Simple solution!
This is more about your ego than theirs…
Imagine after spending decades studying, teaching, and someone new to all this questioning you. They know the right way, but it is difficult to explain to newcomers. It is understandably frustrating for them, regardless of ego.

For heaven sake, it’s not about thick skins or elitism, if you ask a question we give an answer, if you ask something like, tv isn’t working but it did before I went to the pub, but now I’m at my friends and the tv isn’t working there either.

When I teach woodworking, I don’t tell my apprentices in such a tone that the “teachers” in this community use. I listen to their question and explain to process. I don’t tell them that because they are a beginner, they should do something else.
This thread has shown what kind of people these teachers are and I’ve leaned how to communicate with them in the future, if need be.
I’ll ask my question and just see them giving solutions. That’s very easy. To make it even simpler, I’ll not take an effort in recording the screen. I’ll just post the model.
Got it.
It’s very clear you don’t understand this type of forum. Feel free to ask whatever you want.

Don’t be an asshole to people trying to help is really the lesson here.
But…

I taught woodworking / shop / fabrication to college students. I had some folks who would listen, and other folks who barged right in like you are doing here, demanding that the world / tools / shop / schedule bend to their every desire. Those kids never got to learn the table saw, much less really grow as students and creators.
The kids who listened to myself and my team thrived, learning skills, tools and methods to produce the work they envisioned. And it was never about myself or my team - my job was to teach students how to build their projects (5 year college of art and design) - many of them never touched a power tool before. But at some point the people who are there helping should be listened to and learned from - until you know enough to carry on safely or smartly with doing your own thing.
But hey, you do you.
