Help with follow-me please

[thegoodguy]

Hi,

Can anybody please enlighten me as to why when I follow-me the flat shape using the circle, the result is a cup?

Many thanks.

Scale the model up x 10, use follow me and then resize it at the end. SU can't create very tiny faces, so some parts of the model are missed if the model is small.

If you want the resulting turned shape to be the same size and in the same location when you've finished, make a component of the profile and the path. Then Move/Copy the component, scale up the copy as Massimo indicated. Open the component for editing, run Follow Me as normal. Close the large copy to get out of edit mode and delete it, Zoom Extents will take you back to the original copy all nice and tidy. You'll probably want to scale up by at least 100x. Your line segments are so short that even at 10x, the point doesn't fill. Delete the path circle at some point after Follow Me completes if you don't need it anymore.

You also have the problem that the profile isn't centered on the circle.

True that.

Scale and centre. Got it.

Thanks to all for their attention and expertise
