[Paraview] Creating a ribbon

[Jerome Velut]

Hum... I didn't get what you told. The ruled surface filter works for 3D 
polylines, as soon as you have at least two of them. I just built a 
screw in ParaView with a LineSource, a SplineSource and the 
RuledSurfaceFilter.
I am curious about the context in which it fails. Is it possible for you 
to share the polylines and the expected result?
