Hello,
I created a surface using the Biral 3+ Tool and the surface seems to be created fine, and should be visible, but it isn't. I can't see the new surface until I delete one of the profile curves. Any ideas what is going on?
Thanks!

The birail tool is a little funky. Basically your profile curve has to touch your rail.

Easiest way that I know to get the tool to work right is to create all the curves that I'm going to need, place them in as close to position as I can get them, then right mouse button on a curve, select Edit Point, then curve snap the edit point to the curve it needs to touch. Do this at both ends of the curve and it usually works every time.

Thanks! I used curve snap when I drew the curve but I think it was thrown off when I used inherit tangency. I'll try that method.
