hi all
I try to bend an arc (black) around another arc (blue). The problem is that it always rotates 90° instead following the blue curve (green).

Has anyone an idea howto achive this?

Thanks for any hints

hi there..

funny enough, if you rotate the whole assembly by 90°, everything is working as expected..

Hi nos, this has to do with the starting normal being chosen differently from the vertical line and the arc - basically curve flow works similar to sweep and there is an x/y/z axis frame that slides along each curve. In this case the starting x axis direction is being chosen differently for each curve, so that's what produces a different result.

That is something that I should be able to tune up, I've added it to my list of things to tune up.

In the meantime if you rotate the whole thing down to the world x/y plane it should then work ok for you, see attached file.
