I am used to using the FollowMe tool by first selecting the Path line, and then selecting the Face to do the following. This is particularly good for creating spheres from circles.
The my.SketchUp version appears only to work by selecting the Face, and then following a path line.
I do not know what is generally preferred by other users, but I’d like it the former way.
It seems to be a little inconsistent. When I tried it before posting, it didn’t work. I left it for a bit and did something else. I just tried it now and it works. Weird.
It’s what I still use in desktop SketchUp and it became quickly intuitive for me since “What the…?” was constantly coming out while gazing upon the result of my first sphere attempts when I started…
Well, it seems the method where you’re selecting a face as a path is easier to accomplish since the first time you’ll select the follow-me tool, the multitool fly-out will still be set to Push-pull. Which you have to click (activate) to make the menu fly out. Meaning a selected face will stay selected, but a selected path will be deselected. So… why not make the menu fly out on hover?
