Michael.

Thank you very much for getting this into MoI v3!

I've been playing with the new feature and I know I'm going to use it all the time - I think it's huge development of the tool. I hope other users of MoI make use of it too.

Just one limitation that I've found is that if the axis of revolution doesn't coincide with the inner end of the Profile Curve, then the surface no longer follows the 3d Rail Curve in the up/down direction. Video here in case my explanation isn't clear http://screencast.com/t/KFNGxmCaFaQ.

I mention it because I've recently been using Rail Revolve with very large radii to create surfaces that are just different enough from Rail Sweeps and Lofts to be quite useful to me, and if it were possible to have the new 3d component present here too, then that would be super. The work-around that I've found is to extend the Profile Curve to the axis with a straight line and delete it and its associated surface later. Another video for this method to help explain what I mean http://screencast.com/t/GJWmaCBw.

Great work, Michael.
