      Hi again,

      Upon closer inspection, although the solidness is good and the profile alignment is good along all of the "straight" section of the rail, using Curviloft, the profile does twist on the shaped part of the rail. Back to TrueBend and solid-fixing. Scaling up x1000 reduced the errors to only 3 ... phew.

      Just thought you might like to know.

        Maybe we can try something...
        Post the file of Profils and Rails in dxf format and let see that Moi3D (nurbs) will made as result in SKP format export...

        ...not sure...of the result πŸ˜„ (it's not your file just a test)

        Here the structure of export SKP

        Reloaded in SU

        I must ask more polygons in export! πŸ€“ (rendered as SKP file)

        morepoly.jpg

        This time edges are perfect! (for an SKP file) πŸ˜„

            Next version of Moi (V4) will be more adapted for erase problems of the DXF!

            Another thing : i must reduce the number of Control Points of the curves!
            Or even redraw over it...
            (Whithout change the form of course! )

              OK: reloadable! πŸ˜„

              Just a question : does the section is on the good place or must be placed like that ?
              Or by it's gravity's center ?

                Looks good pilou.

                I finally got it done using TrueBend.

                Thanks.

                    Just for be sure : your dxf was made directly from SketchUP or from another program ?

                        Hi pilou,

                        Yes, it was exported from SU.

                          Thx for the info!

                          Dxf from SketchUp are specific because curves are polylines so numerous "control points" !
                          Maybe Circles and Arcs can be exported as real curves...

                          With this one by Joergberg πŸ€“ (for SU Make)
                          So circles and arcs are not "segmented" ! 😎
                          dxf.jpg

                          As we can see for the circle...that is a true curve!
