        Can you save your model in SU 2017 for a more large audience ?
        Sur I can use the very cool free Pconplanner for that but... πŸ˜„

            I believe that you must have your surface made with these 4 curves! πŸ˜‰

            Tig has a cool one for that! πŸ˜‰ Extrude Tool and take the first one πŸ˜„
            (pick Profil 1, rail 1, rail 2, profil 2 )

              As your object to project is very heavy that can take several minutes to do! πŸ€“
              Object to project must be an only one object and not an object of objects! πŸ€“

                  It's for make your target surface!
                  You must draw first 4 separated curves (but connected by their extremities)
                  Call the first TIG Extrude Tool
                  Click the left Profile 1 (the red one above)
                  Click one Rail 1 ( up green curve) 2
                  Click second Rail 2 ( bottom green curve )
                  Click the right Profile 2 ( red curve again)

                  Like this you can create any surface defined (here 4 ) by 3 or 4 curves (Coons Surfaces)
                  (in case of 3 curves click twice on the Rail)

                  You can now apply your Flowify with confidence! β˜€

                      Your 4 curves are maybe not welded themselve?
                      And your drawing is curious ! It's a canoe ?
                      I have just keept your 2 Profiles and draw any 2 other rails...

                        not a canoe heheh...so if I make curves at random the plugin works...the shapes come to me...but when I try to do it with the empty profile I drew of the sofa...it can't do it... I don't understand where I went wrong in creating that specific profile...

                              Yes it's that!

                              You must redraw your curves for have 4 curves welded!
                              Use the Fredo Bezier plugin for have automatically 4 curves welded!
                              https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=BezierSpline

                              In another case you can use the recurve plugin for weld curves selected!

                                  It's a contextual menu on the right Click when something is selected! πŸ˜‰
