        Yes, you are close. Put another arc in opposite the first one. That should get you going.

        FWIW, I did it in two halves because the ellipses are split by the arcs joining them. It's an easy matter to explode them and make them into a new component if you need.

              Messimo,

              I've tried this plugin but I'm getting some errors during program startup:

              Error Loading File bootstrap_Curviloft.rb
              uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6Error Loading File CurviloftAlgo.rb
              uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6Error Loading File CurviloftCurveMover.rb
              uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6Error Loading File CurviloftPalette.rb
              uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6Error Loading File CurviloftTool.rb
              uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6Error Loading File __loader.rb
              uninitialized constant Traductor

              😞

              Regards,
              expart.

                You didn't get it installed correctly. Go back to the thread and read the first post. Make sure the footprint matches. Also make sure you have installed LibFredo6...

                  Oh, just noticed you said elipses. So maybe you can try the "offset contour along the rail".
                  About Curviloft: have you followed the instructions contained in the first post for the installation? Better you ask directly in that thread anyway.

                    I'm almost sure that I did.. What is the footprint?

                        I've copied files from directory.. Not directory itself.

                        Thank you for your help!
