Hi Alan,

I'm a little confused because you seem to have the answer to your question right in your file - use the 2nd method you have there that does not have the distortion.

The anomaly on the left one is because curve to curve flow works by treating the curves as a kind of "backbone". The rectangle curve you have as the base curve for the anomalous one is not positioned as a backbone like a centerline on the object, it's a path going around the exterior of the object.

To do a flow with that type of setup you would need to build surfaces for the base and target for the flow, not a closed curve. See attached model.
