Follow me around Radi's ?

Hi all, I'm a Sketchup newbie seeking guidance.
 
Just started to draw a paperclip (nearest thing to hand on desk, I bet everyone has drawn a paperclip device)


 

Is it possible to extrude a circle along radi's ?
Also, is it possible to attach sketchup files to this, It says invalid file when I try. Or am I having brain freeze:oops:


 

Thanks

Yureeka !
For some reason I had made the path into a component, so I exploded it and all is ok.
 
I must admit this Sketchup is very impressive.
Going to try the SU Podium Plugin next.
 
Thanks again

Cubes, there is an alternative if you are just doing circles to follow a path.You can use the Pipe Along Path ruby script located here:

Install it in your plugins folder and restart SketchUp.(C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 6\Plugins)
Draw your path then select it all.Then go to Plugins and choose Pipe Along Path.You will get a dialog box to enter values.
 
Great little script.I use it quite often for pipe railings.
