Pattern along path and extrude cut external curve.

Good morning !! Having a problem with the position of an extrusion along the path, the deep one does not follow the  arc.

Hi

The array can be easily wrapped along the path, but the array elements will remain rigid. The shaping elements themselves will not be curved on individual path elements. It sews on the principle of caterpillars (segments), not plasticine.

If you really want to get a graphic effect, you can go this route:

1. Measure the length of the inner loop
2. Create a flat pattern in an array of cutouts
3. Make 2 bends to wind the tape and close the loop.

Alternatively, you can model it by hand.

Here is a quick and dirty example, you can play around with it. Not sheet metal, but just utilizing the "bend part" command (2022 version)
