      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.

            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.

                        The video may be old.
                        Anyway, could you be more explicit et advise whether there is a problem. Thanks.
