Hi

I cannot get Net surface to work. It only wants to create 3/4 of the surface I want.

Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong ?

Thankyou, would never have figured that you have duplicate the first and last curve to get it to work.

All working well now.

right! It happened to me too long ago. You could try Guide Skin Solid if your version allows it as an alternative approach. If you need to hollow it, you can just do the usual hollow command.

I actually found guide skin prior to your response but the resultant surface buckled slightly outside my guide lines while net surface held its shape to the guide curves so that is the reason I wanted to use net surface.

Over the years I've used a few CAD programs but none of them require two curves at the start and finish of closed net surfaces, so it had me stumped till you posted, so thanks for that.
