I'm trying to write a small script that helps me automate the creation of walls and any other wall-like segment in Blender. I wanted to use a profile curve or mesh as a base and then extrude it by X amount, adding edge loops if necessary. I find it really hard to explain what exactly I'm looking for, so I found some pictures online:

Why not use the bevel property of a curve? – Leander Jan 02 '20 at 23:13
I can't generate the edge loops that way. – vinnylinux Jan 02 '20 at 23:20
Why not. Make the Curve, make the bevel curve, set the bevel, convert to a mesh? – Leander Jan 02 '20 at 23:20
Here's what happens: https://i.imgur.com/o7n77Tg.png There's no way to add vertical edge loops, it just becomes a huge strip – vinnylinux Jan 02 '20 at 23:37
Bevel curve https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/modeling/curves/properties/geometry.html#bevel – Leander Jan 02 '20 at 23:58
Have used this technique https://blender.stackexchange.com/a/122315/15543 for arbitrarily shaped curves. For circles there's the spin modifier too. – batFINGER Jan 03 '20 at 02:37
