      hi im getting this message

      For Curviloft to operate correctly, you need to select only the external contours, not the inner corner edges. Watch the short video by Box again.

          For a bit of clarity, in my gif you see me select all of it and show that it doesn't work as it highlights too many edges, then I hold down shift to deselect the corner faces. You could also activate the tool with nothing selected and just click on the edges you need.

              Why don't you upload the SKP file so we can see what you started with?

                  Does the white one look more like what you want?

                    exactly, is it to do with the order you pick the lines?

                      No. The bottom arc has 24 segments so I divided the straight lines on the sides and top so there is a total of 24 segments up each side (including the segments in the arcs at the top.

                          Do what? Divide the edges? I right clicked on an edge, selected Divide and then entered the correct number.

                            Clever , the problem with the video is the curser leaves the screen so you can’t see what he clicked

                                    The only things I saw where the cursor wasn't visible was when he made a group after context clicking on the selected geometry and then when he moved the cursor to bring the Entity Info panel up to show that it's a solid group.
