      Remus there is an easier way, select both curves and click on 'from contours' in the Sandbox tools.

        That only works in a few situations though, if you rotate your example through 90 degrees (for example) it will not work, whereas the methods i suggested should work in most situations.

          Thank you all for the answers. The problem I have is to connect this two arcs to make a closed
          3D outlined (wire) and then use the script "Soap Skin & Bubble". Does someone know how can I make it to make a closed 3D outline ?

          Thank you all of you !

            muralt,

            I am sorry but I do not understand exactly what you want to achieve, could you try explain a little more maybe show an example of what you need and upload the .skp for us to play with once you have explained.

              Solo,

              The soap skin & bubble script allow me to make shape like you can see here :
              http://www.tensile-structures.de/help.html

              But first how can I make a closed 3D from two arcs and then generate the script?

              Thank you for your kindness.

                I now understand, I am sorry however but I cannot help as no matter how many times I tried to remove my old version of 'soap bubble' and replace it with the new one it still tells me my time limit is up, so I do not use that tool anymore.

                    Hi Muralt, hi folks.

                    You must specify the path that is to be used when going fom one shape to the other.

                    Is it linear or curved. If curved, what type of curve ?

                    Just ideas.

                      However, I use other tools like sub-divide to achive similar results.

                        ...or two, connecting, smaller arcs if you want it a bit smoother?
