      I have been experimenting with Curviloft along path. I cannot figure out to establish a volume when I use more than 2 faces. The faces in-between the first and the last leave a edge behind which I think is the issue. How would I best resolve this?

        Delete the faces of the two intermediate profiles and select just their edges ?
        If you move the extrusion away from the profiles does it retain those two internal partitions ?

        Also you form looks 'inside-out', so reverse its surface's faces...

          Does anybody know whether curviloft takes face direction into account? You might want to reverse the last two faces if so, to keep all faces oriented along the curve.

            In my example I found that the path itself is the problem
            Probably because it becomes part of the volume along the edge
            Once I removed the path the volume was calculated as a whole.

            I retried when moving the faces slightly away from the path (so not connected)
            Somehow the volume was not calculated, but when I now deleted the intermediate faces as TIG suggested I got the complete volume,

            Strange...
            Anyway its working now, thanks for the suggestions!
