So the current beta expires in about 5 days (aug 8-->oct 21). Whats the game plan?

Hi Nick, I'll be putting out a new beta real soon here, I'm just going to see if I can possibly jam in the last remaining things for v2 over the next couple of days or not.

If not then I will put out one beta and then there will still be another one after that. That's probably what will happen but I want to see if I can possibly wrap up some work on sweep for this next one.

Thanks Michael, looking forward to the sweep enhancements!

Same here!!

Well, it looks like I got one piece of sweep tuneups done, which is a fix for 2-rail sweep so that it is not so sensitive to the spacing of control points on the rails.

Previously the profiles would slide along each rail possibly at different "speeds" depending on how that curve's control points happened to be spaced out, which tends to cause a kind of twisting effect on the profiles.

With the next beta that should be all fixed up, it will travel at a more even speed along each rail regardless of how the control points of the rail happened to be spaced out from one another.

So that should help make 2rail sweep a lot more predictable and fixes several bugs that were reported with twisted results in 2-rail sweep.

There are still some other things I want to do for sweep, like mitered corners for 1-rail sweep but those will go in another beta after this one. I should be able to put out this new beta tomorrow.

Thanks for getting the enhanced sweep functionality into v2 Michael.

I believe that is the only tool I really missed from Rhino since I use sweeps all the time...
