Nice Hat! I'm hoping to become proficient with MoI as you. I have also been trying to do Sweeps and the rail thing.

I beleive it's the same as another modeler "Carrara" I use. creates a "Spline object" which has "Symmetry" lines for manipulation.



Seems as though the Rails option (Two Rails) represent the Extrusion path in the 2 planes? (Carraras shows 1 symmetrical pink line) and the "Scaling rail" represents the "Blue and Green" symmetry paths"?

I'v been trying to figure out the 2nd rail option.

From Carrara, The scaling rail is the one with 2 "Plane" options, and if you need to change the extrusion path (the rail) you would add a "Cross section" and new rail and continue. Have I equated the 2 the same?

I'm not getting the result with the second sweep rail I thought and trying to adjust as needed!

Any thoughts? (did my question make sense?)

Thanks Burr
