Thanks, Michael and bemfarmer

bemfarmer, I saw you post on the way into work, (I have an 50min train trip, so I do a bit of modelling on the train), set up has you suggested and then realized I only have a trial of V2 ,no Flow :(

At home I have a OSX, I have to wait till I get home.



when I realized I did not have V3, I played a bit with curve-projection, realized I might be able to do what I wanted with , curve -> project then an extrude . just have to workout how to add a endcap.... But flow looks miles easier and could be the right solution for a few other models Im working on :)
