              Nice results. Strange to watch rendering change so much. It's now a text prompt.

                      I am still struggling with the best way of setting complex rails to my model.

                      is the newest profile builder really the best way to setup complex rails with junctions and so on?

                      here I have a typical project to solve:

                      I have set the way for the rails and the proxy for followme.

                        ProfileBuilder won't one-shot that network because there are so many branches.

                        Here is what PB4 will produce if you try to loft the profile across that network or splines.

                          Wow this one looks great.

                          You used profile builder 4 and what did you do then?

                          you took each part and do it one after one?

                            I rotated your profile to lie on XY plane so I could assign it as a Profile.

                            Then selected all the network of splines and used Build Along Path to create what you see in the file I shared.

                                      great ! The model and render are excellent!
                                      But I don't understant why you use meshy ai ? It's a 3d model from photos service.? What ai model did you use for the render?

                                        The model of the car was made with meshyAI. I took some views, meshyAI created the base model and I made some modifications.

                                        The render was done with nano banana pro

                                          Impressive. I always prefered tencent Hunyuan for modeling from photos, (20 free models per day!) but it seems you did well with meshy.

                                          Do you use Universal Importer (by Samuel Tallet) to Import the GLB files?

                                            @Krass I import it to blender as glb and export it as dae to sketchup. It gave me the best results. sometimes glb are to heavy for SU to handle.
