I’m trying to put a half-round edge on the surface of the attached. The resulting Follow me I attempt along the edge (be it the upper or lower one) does not stay on that edge and I cannot understand why. The distance between the two edges appears to be equal throughout and the profile is perpendicular to the beginning of the edge. Whichever edge I use and whichever profile I use, the result is the same to varying degrees.
I’d be grateful for any help and advice.
Regards.

You could try Fredo Curviloft or Tig Extrude Tools. And on a larger scale, at least 10x.
Another option would be Upright Extruder or Fredo6’s Fredo Corner or Round Corner.
I would suggest you scale you model up to work with inches as meters. That will let you work with smoother curves.
I thought the same, so I tried but couldn’t get it to work…
I was able to do it but I had to leave the house and didn’t have time to post it. I will when I get home.
Thank you all for your very swift replies.
I have tried running Curviloft along the edges and end up with a very lumpy result: I don’t quite know why (as ever).
Kind regards.

John McC and I tried Upright Extruder last night and also couldn’t get it to work.
Clean (quad) topology
And we worked out why it shouldn’t work - the profile semicircle has to follow the curve round, not stay in the same vertical orientation.
I got exactly the same result!
I changed the axis in the extension interface to X=0, Y=1, Z=0.
