Now I can post an object relative to this thread! ha ha, here is my version of your open profile to follow open path. I still have to work out the kinks in the z space but it works with its material mapping in x and y, the z just skews the tube with out flat spots. ill try to add that next and then the 2d stuff, i added a project for now but i plan on changing it to be hotlines with a fill too.
from what i can tell other than the z it works almost just like yours
you all have been some major inspiration.

and here is my initial attempt to loop the polyline infinite, i have the master and parameters scripts working (or so i think) but im lock in place with the current errors. it would be cool if we can get it to work

Hi Mariosmic!
Your Railing-part is obviously the best railing-Object for Stairs i have seen so far!
I will spread Your Video - in our region - to raise Your chances for selling it - if You like! Now its all going the right direction! i hope You are very proud of this!

They made a function-change possible by using the normal object-dialog. That is a little bit "stone-age" in my opinion...
My idea goes this way: (not really my idea - it has been done similar in the random city object)
Place a little pictogram near the polyline in the drawing-editor - with a hotspot-switch. This should be possible to be turnd off after the operations.
If the switch is in the normal edit-field - the edit of the cornerpoints is possible.
If the switch is in the field for "growing" - the same hotspot works for growing of the polygone-shape
If the switch is in the field for segment-growing - the middle-point grows just this one segment.
If the switch is in the field for Corner-rounding - the same klick on the hotspot rounds the corner
If the switch is in the field for rounding the segments - the middlepoint works to round it like Your functionality.
This could be very near the normal polygon-behaviour in Archicad like editing slabs or hatches with the pet-pal.
The next thing i am thinking of - is: to use just one simple parameter for one polygon - one array with three dimensions for x, y, z and maybe some Flags for function changes - but that is future-music.. So it would be much easier to work with it in GDL - to copy the functionality for more open polygons in one GDL
In my last objects where i made three open polygons-profiles following an open path - it had to copy Esteban ramos-code in the 2D-GDL, the Masterscript, the Parameter-script and the 3D-Script and had to change the name of every parameter for each different polygone x+y (+ Z). The possibility of making some mistakes is very high - and very time-consuming for each profile.
Just one parameter-Array for all of this should be much easier and easier to understand... to alter and to use with less mistakes!
I honestly can't believe i hadn't though of this single array idea. nice. so i applied it, well mostly. take a look
edit: it seems doing this created a bug with adding points... attempting to fix it but not sure what is causing the problem or how its is i guess

Well i got my arcs started... they are half working in the polyline, still have to apply them to the tube. but you can edit the profile in 3d and the second profile can be a hole

Now I'm working on moving and adding new post. In a 3d polyline arc/straight there are a huge amount of variables. Sometime I lost!!!!
I'd like to share my work. But in this forum there is not a section for these kind of post, such us: "what are you working on? Post here!"
It could be nice have a section like this.
