      Apologies if I've asked this before, I likely forgot.

      When sweeping a profile around a spline, say for a baseboard, often the result is inverted. Is there a better way to fix this instead of messing around with the axis of the profile itself?

        Hi smckenzie,

        Thanks for the file.

        Select the Thicken. Spline and use the Main Menu> Spline> Point Order> Reverse Sequence if it is 180º

        In difficult cases, you need to work with a Rail, typically switch "Use Rail Scale" off.

        Let me know if that helped with your project.

        All the best

          Hey Dr. Sassi,

          I had tried both of those prior without success.

            Let me know what is different when you do it.
