Curviloft default settings

[pipingguy]

OK.....I updated my Fredo files. However, I am still unable to preserve the parameter 'junction by orthogonal elliptical curves' as a user-defined default. I am not really seeing anything in the parameters dialogue box that would be applicable. See attached images.

You have to go to the Default Parameters dialog box of Curviloft
menu is: Tools > Fredo6 Collection > Curviloft > Default Parameters.

Monsieur Fredo (or anyone)- how best to extrude the attached tapered volute?

Curviloft does not like that the two circle are coplanar.
I don't have time to investigate and troubleshoot at the moment.
So I suggest you look at Spirix, which is specialized in creating spiraling shapes.

That's OK. I will just continue doing it in 4 pieces, then 'welding' them together.

From what i can see, there is no such thing as default parameters for Fredo6:Bezier Spline - correct?

NO, but it should keep the parameters to their last value when you exit BezierSpline.

Not that I can see.
