This new utility allows to create a surface by extrusion of a shape along a path. The path is defined as two sets of lines, provided to PathTruder as two LDraw files. The shape, also a set of lines, is the third required input file. The fist segment in shape file (in red in the image above) defines how the shape file is attached to the path, one extremity is applied onto the first line, the other onto the second line.

Program, documentation, source code are available here.

Watch soon for an update of Mikeheide’s LETGUI with support of this tool...

Enjoy!
