>The auto-place can be kind of arbitrary about which direction it decides is the "up" direction when it automatically moves things into place, I think right now it may not quite work as expected if your profiles are drawn in a different view than the Top view.

Just a thought, not that you dont have enough work, for your 2d objects like circles and squares and such, maybe some kind of "definition" about its rotation. I work in a cad program that does this with a 360 degree start/end point so your circle would "actually have a top" (or start point). Can this equate in nurbs creation?

Just a thought to jot down. Thanks again,
