        Curviloft

        That geometry will need to be polylines is some cases though. Post back if you've hassle. Or post the model and let members go wild 😉

            Hi

            You can get the model form here:

            I tried using the sandbox tools, but it seems to use triangles...

                TIG's Extrude Edges by Rails would be another good option. That's how I did the above.
