Perpendicular face tool can be useful for draw some elaborate sections on the path!

Guys, is there anyone who can loft it for me? As soon as I press 'enter' to consolidate, SU crashes...

Thanks!

No crash for me. Anyway you have circles with 100 segments. That slows down the operation. Also it's better if the circles are perpendicular to the path. I've reduced the circles to 48 segments and rotated one circle. Do you need something like this?

As Massimo said, you're using way more segment than you really need. And, as I told you twice before, if you insist on using all those segments in your circles and curves, you need to work at a much larger scale. Maybe the third time will get through to you. I had no problem with it when I scaled it up to a reasonable size.

Could you, please, achieve something like this one? (it's a model)

Hey Dave, yes you said me before about the segments, but I need them in order to have, as much as possible, clean PDF files to edit in AI. The 'horn' was 4 meters tall, I thought was a resonable lenght.

As I wrote before use the "loft by spline" tool and play with tension.

Of course you can also do something like that with the native follow me tool.

Grazie Massimo!

I'm gonna try right now.
And thanks to everybody.

Prego.
