      There is a reason for those end segments not bein parallel: they are kind of "parts" of a whole circle and if they were parallel, the other segments of the same circle should be parallel, too thus two segments would be on the same line which is not good with a circle.
      These arcs are "tangent" that - in theory - means they "tend" (or what) to the line (to 90 degs) but never "reach" them.

      There have always been problems with SU when it comes to extruding a curve around a corner for instance - and this seems to be exactly the same glitch.

        hmmm, what i dont get is why it doesnt work when the arc being extruded and the arc being followed are the same, but when they are different it works perfectly.

            Since im in here and have your guy's attention, is there a way to do custom render sizes in kerkythea? If i could do a 500x150 render for example, that would speed things up a bit when it comes to making renders for people.

              When opening the render dialogue in Kerky, at the "Resolution" dropdown there are the default "sizes". Simply overwrite it with your custom resolution (I have just tried out and it worked).

                That worked wonders, thank you.

                And sorry for coming in here 5 times a day with questions, i pretty much just use SU and Kerky and you guys know both of them alot better than i do.

                  Well, there are a lot of things I don't know either - especially in Kerky.
                  You (me, most of us) just learn something almost every day...

                      Considering I am more than twice as old as you, we can still put it this way: you have the time, man...
