9. Pro Tips & Best Practices

• Always group before JPP – Keeps history clean and prevents accidental geometry merging.
• Use Weld (from Eneroth Weld or Fredo6 Tools) on paths for Follow Push Pull.
• Test on a copy – Complex extrusions cannot be undone easily (no native Ctrl+Z for the operation itself).
• Lower subdivision for preview, increase for final export.
• Combine with FredoScale after JPP for tapered extrusions.
