Flow discovery go ahead....

i made a solid straw,put on the red line like flow plane then flowed in a bended blue line
you see pointy surface on the top of bended straw



i suspected something...so i tried to export and a message appeared




so i erased bended straw,and flowed the spline i used to revolve it,see flowed spline how many points





i rebuilt it




then offset both sides



use these splines like rails and a circle like section for sweeping





Flow tool now become "a must " for MOIdelizers.No problem,Michael, if sometimes is slow







see you next "heavy" flow:Mauro

Hi Mauro - there is a bug in the first v3 beta with curve-to-curve based flow where it produces a very heavy and slightly wiggly result if you have the curves in any orientation other than flat on the world x/y plane.

So for the moment to avoid the problem rotate your curves so the base curve and target curve are both flat in the world x/y (top view) plane and then you should see it behave better.

That is a bug that I've just fixed up for the next v3 beta.

- Michael
