Need help two rail sweep

Post by zeeway »

I must be doing something wrong in Aspire 4. Trying to make a simple picture frame, but there is no more check box for "connect rail nodes"...and this is what results. What am I doing wrong? (start points are both in lower left corner).

ps - well it seems to work as a single rail sweep (extrude)...but since I want to control the outer and inner dimensions, that is not what I want. Can it work as a two rail sweep?

Hi Angie,

After you place the profile across the first corner, right click on the profile and select 'Add to All Rail Nodes.'

It was good seeing you again in Columbia.

Thank you Tim. You were exactly right (as usual :) ). Good to see you at Jim's as well.
