      Why you don't make the inverse in your special case? πŸ˜‰

      Take the horinzontal section then make a little vertical loft!
      I believe that Curviloft by Fredo can make that!
      Take a face start (your section), a face end (any what you want )and your profile as path! πŸ˜‰

      Ps Post your file as V6 for a more large audiance! πŸ˜‰

        Thank you Pilou,
        As Jeff suggested I'd need to set up in size and position my basis horizontal and connect them two each time with curviloft, but it is too long for my design as in samples I posted where I solved simply with repeated pull/push+scale.... I search something to short this process

          you might be able to do your example fairly quickly with curviloft's sweep function (the middle icon in its toolbar)

          if you duplicate your profile curve and mirror it to the other side of the path then use the two profiles as rails, it should give the desired results. I'm on a phone right now- I'll try it out later.

            This is curviloft, as jeff suggested. Is it what you want to achieve?
            I've simplified the profile because there was a ton of segments.

                thank you guys,

                I'm proud that help arrived from Italy to Italy!

                Now let's try to shake it tilting the shapes or modify the basis figure in 3d shape

                thank you for your helps

                all the best to you

                          Something like this πŸ˜„

                          Separate the Profile (welded) for a better easy selection of the segments!
                          Select the profil
                          Select the surface
                          (click twice on the middle of the surfaces - zoom it)

                          Click Twice on the empty Space

                          And curiously prefere an horizontal "profil"! (so just a rotation from my previous post! πŸ˜‰

                          Thickness will follow the skin!
