Custom Mesh Extrusion Problem
#1
Hi there,
great plugin so far, really intuitive and solid programming as well! I just ran into a problem I'm not sure how to solve. When I use the SplinePathMeshBuilder to extrude a custom mesh, I can't seem to get it to extrude right.

I am trying to extrude the following mesh:

Which results in the following:

The extrusion mesh shipped with Curvy seems to work as intended:

It appears that all the extruded faces seem to connect to the wrong vertices that don't really represent the original shape anymore. I am unsure how exactly the extrusion algorithm determines how to connect faces and was unable to get any custom mesh working. Even a simple quad seems to turn from a square tube into an "X" shape.

I have attached the mesh I am trying to extrude. The mesh was created in Blender (and is also attached as blend file). Did anyone else run into the same problem here? My guess would be that it's either a miscommunication between Blender created meshes and the SplinePathMeshBuilder or a general problem with it.

Thank you in advance.
