i'm doing this pipe to hold a compass in a "vessel", but strange thing... whenever i try to do a matrix extrude on this pipe the damn thing instead of rotating in one vector direction, he goes in a double vector direction, whatever the angle or the extrusion... 1st i thought it was an error so i've restarted r10 and new scene and it still does that

here (http://werlintm.no.sapo.pt/ME%20problem.jpg) it is

why it does that? i'm trying to rotate him up and dont have a clue for why this behavior, i even tried to center axis to normals, object or world and nothing

please help if you can!!

Thanks 4 your time & attention
peace&light!!

now the axis is acting weird.... the axis is an axis whatever its going on it should be 90º between bands all times....

does anyone has any idea why?

btw... i figured out that the 1st problem was because it was a 8 point based shape, now i switched to 4 point based shape its not going to be as rounded and on top of that there's this problem
