      I wanted to play around with the aperiodic monotile: https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~csk/hat/

      I made a few polygons based on a few animation steps and tried to use Curivloft to join them into a solid shape: https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~csk/hat/examples/animation.gif

      However, Curviloft seems to get rather confused by these shapes. It wants to wrap the vertices around corners creating a twisty result, as illustrated here:

      I think my main problem is when I run Curivloft, I am unable to use the rotate tool to move the model around and make corrections on all sides...

      Thanks for any suggestions
