    Maybe more info, last night I got to an ok version & saved it as a model, the lofts are no longer attached and did their own thing on length. they are pieces ... so it all needs lofting again.

     

    How do you save a model as *.evo and preserve translations to the blend curves?

     

    They always lose them and looks like that's why the lofting sections broke into piece back to 0,0,0?

     

    Should I remove the curves and re-loft the gaps after using profiles to build it? (will try this soon)

     

    In any case, will post if I find a solution as haven't found this in FAQ & keyword yet.

    Hi Timallard,

     

    This is a very strange error. Saving a file should retain all changes made irrespective of which object they were applied to.

     

    If possible please share the model with us using Help-Submit feedback option within Evolve.

    Check your system email, got the error page after posting, tried twice ...  tested if it was related to default settings and it got better zeroing axis origin & pivot, used world.

     

    After saving it did change, was better, still no go from waviness thrown into some profiles.wavy-extrude-resaved.jpg

    Did you try saving the file as a .evo file by using save as instead of save as model?

     

    I am afraid we did not receive any mail. You can send the file to me at arjuna (at) solidthinking(dot) com

    Don't know if I tried just saving so will check that, sounds simple enough to be the problem ... thx.

    Think I found it image/emoticons/default_smile.png' alt=':)' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' width='20' height='20'> , Norton 360 did a new thing so new settings -> programs that default to 'auto', set it to 'allow', explicit permission, test loft opened & was perfect.

     

    Got onto it as chrome wouldn't open any website until reset it.

     

    Appreciate the comments to keep me going after what it could be, knew it wasn't evolve.

     

    cheers, tom

    Spoke too soon, it was better yet faded back into not saving some transforms, a few would make it, tried to see why & seems that was tied to settings when I got better results by adjusting origin, still adds waves to some curves couldn't see why.

     

    I'm on a win7 laptop has decent speed & memory but not a workstation, I think the event-handling on windows needs a look.

     

    Anyway, it lofted a  very complex wing really well after I learned how the tool works, stoked.
