Both methods have worked well lads.

Michael with a bit of trial and error to get a more square end as it approaches the ends works okay.

Eddi, a bit more work but a nice finished result. I have only used your version as a render as not sure how you have done it yet, is this possible in V2?.

I work primarily with Turbocad, but find that some things are better done in Moi as some of Michael's routines are very flexible plus Turbocad and Moi file interchangeability works spot on.

I think easy, try it, if problem occurs, ask for solution.

Will do Eddi, and thank you for the input!.

EDDI, still trying to figure out how you did it with blend but managed it with sweep.

Hi Michael to use Blend you would need to extrude out the circles, hide the circle curves (so they don't get in the way of selecting edges), and then delete the end caps of the extrusions (or extrude them with "Cap ends" option unchecked) so that you have 2 extrusions with open unjoined edges at their ends. Then you select the edges and run Construct > Blend to build a blend surface between them.

The setup with 2 edges selected (again, note it's _edges_ that must be selected, not the original curves, hide the original curves so you don't select them instead and the edges should not be joined in between 2 surfaces so that's why you delete the end caps) looks like this:



Then when you run Construct > Blend the connecting blend surface will look like this:

Got it Michael, I must have been selecting the curves.

Will give it a try!.

Foiled again!

But since I made it, I'll put it here anyway.....

Many thanks lads all has worked well with the different variations, just got to set about finding out which one will produce the smallest acis solid file size in combination with the best profile and then I am on the move.
