OK, was actually working on the CCP (Carrara Community Project) and trying a few diff things I just haven't been happy with the shape I get in the vertex modeler so I went back to my tried and true Spline modeler, got it all done, but notices this error in shape after a render. It's find on the front view, but the back view is all screwy.. (Right hand of the image below)

any ideas?? I can move the point on the sweep path to make it go away, but then you get an overlap and the material blacks out funny... :scared:

Hexagon, Carrara, Sculptris, and recently Sketchup.

It's a phenomenon that shows up in pipeline extrusions.

You're better off starting with a flat square in the front view and doing changes along a straight path.

ya, think i figured it out/remembered the quirk/fix... need to draw the outline, then just add a SINGLE section, then you can add multiples after, for some reason if you don't do the single section the first one never acts as a normal one... kinda wierd, but here it is.. and it seems to work..
