Hi Burr,

Please post the .3dm model file with your curves in it that you are trying to sweep, that will really help me to see what problem you are running into and give you some advice on what to do differently.

I'm not really familiar with that Carrara tool, but it looks to be different from a sweep - a sweep in MoI is not really constrained to work relative to the x/y/z planes only, it follows the rail curves.

So that allows for stuff like this for example:



I'm not sure if that Carrara tool is going to be able to do stuff like that, if it is focused very much on editing from a side plane projection it probably will have some difficulty when a path wants to kind of loop around more freely...


To do a shape more like what you are showing there in MoI you would probably draw cross sections and then use loft, something like this:



It is possible to use sweep to do something similar with a straight line as the sweep rail, but Loft would probably be more typical for something like that.
