Extrude along curve node

Fairly simple concept. It would be nice to extrude from a surface iteratively along a curve, using the curve's parameters. Currently, I find myself doing a lot of iterative extrustions and fiddling around making them fit a curve.

A dedicated modifier would maybe help, but there are workarounds. Firstly, I am sure this can be done with geometry nodes.

But if you are not a node wizzard, try this:

  1. Duplicate and separate the geometry you want to extrude.
  2. Convert the geometry to a curve.
  3. Use that curve as the bevel shape of the other curve
  4. Convert the result to mesh.
  5. Join this mesh with your original model.
