Hi all,

I have an object that has to be extruded according a spline in the backgroud. So far so good, but as u can see the object banks at the corners . I want it to stay horizontal, it should not look like a rollercoaster. Is there a way to do this?
I have lw7.5b, thanks in advance.

I believe you can extrude a path with 4 splines,(or possibly two) try that it should keep it horizontal.

Hey what do you mean by four or two splines? Side by side? whereas just one is to narrow?

two plain splines mirrored and set purpendicular to the shape you want to extrude would be one way.
