MAJ FollowMe – Main Documentation 1. Overview

MAJ FollowMe is an advanced SketchUp plugin for creating 3D geometry from custom profiles with full interactive control. It allows users to place, switch, scale, and manage profiles dynamically while drawing, with real-time material control and multiple Follow Me modes.

This plugin is designed for architectural details, moldings, trims, rails, and any profile-based geometry where precision and speed matter.

1. Tool Activation

Click the Draw icon to activate MAJ FollowMe.

The message box will appear, allowing you to select profiles and settings before or during drawing.

1. Profile Placement Workflow

Select a profile from the message box.

Click a point in the model:

The profile will follow your mouse pointer.

Each single click sets a fixed point.

A double-click completes the path and generates the 3D geometry.

This interactive workflow allows accurate placement without predefining paths.

1. Switching Profiles

Profiles can be changed at any time:

Message box: Use Left / Right arrow keys to switch between profiles.

During drawing: Press the X key to switch profiles instantly without stopping the operation.

This allows fast comparison and adjustment without restarting the tool.

1. Follow Me Types

MAJ FollowMe supports three Follow Me modes:

Normal – Standard Follow Me behavior.

Directional – Maintains profile direction for consistent results.

Rotate – Rotates the profile along the path for advanced geometry.

These modes provide flexibility for different modeling scenarios.

1. Profile Scaling

Profiles can be scaled from 0.1 to 10.

Scaling is applied accurately and consistently across the entire geometry.

Useful for adapting profiles to different project sizes without redefining shapes.

1. Material Management

MAJ FollowMe includes full material control:

Assign and change materials on profiles in real size.

Add or remove materials from the material list.

Switch materials quickly to test design variations.

Material changes are applied instantly to generated geometry.

1. Creating Profiles from Model Faces

You can create custom profiles directly from existing geometry:

Click Pick Profile.

Select a face in the model.

After the yellow guide line appears, select two points around the face.

Save the captured shape as a new profile.

This allows reuse of real model geometry as profiles.

1. Profile Library Management

The Profile Library allows full control over stored profiles:

Add new profiles.

Remove unused profiles.

Rename profiles.

Change profile order and position in the list.

This keeps workflows organized, especially in complex projects.

1. Language Support

MAJ FollowMe is available in 6 languages, making it accessible to a wide range of users worldwide.

1. Recommended Workflow Tips

Define and organize profiles before starting complex drawings.

Use the X key during drawing to test different profiles quickly.

Use Directional or Rotate modes for predictable results on curved paths.

Assign materials early to preview the final appearance accurately.

1. Stability and Performance

MAJ FollowMe is optimized for interactive use and reliable geometry generation. Minor bug fixes and workflow improvements ensure consistent behavior across SketchUp versions.

Final Note

MAJ FollowMe is built for users who value speed, control, and precision in profile-based modeling. If a task requires repeated Follow Me operations, this plugin is designed to make that process faster and more predictable.
