Seems there is a glitch inside the UmbilicTorus when I ask a Closed Loft!




PS What was your regulates for the Unwrap method Circle--> Extrude / Hypotrochoid ? (so no need to strech)

120° of Twist ?

I have a little difference in making one pass!
Normally this must not arrive?

Response based upon memory only :-)

Was unable to do a one step loft. In order to get the solid, had to resort to Boolean union of separate parts.
Do not know why. Something like a torus of circles would only take one step.

Do not understand the "unwrap" question. Recall that 120 degrees was used for something.
The modular arithmetic may help make the 3 corners more equal in shape, since due to the rotation,
different corners meet up.

< the unwrap question
Just
I draw a circle : UnwrapCurve : so I have the length of the extrusion of the volume for Twist it! :)
Then Flow along the circle
But the closed form is not perfect against your is marvelous!

Hi Pilou
Your are correct, the Flow does not result in a perfect connection.
Zooming in on the UTFlow one that I did, shows that the connection is NOT perfect. :-(

I see that using the stretch option did create a solid. Still imperfect though.
