<In order to get the trim to follow the arch I have kept the steps up (10). But this puts a lot of steps in the horizontal trim also (^^^ area) > If I read you correctly, you should find that the 'Optimization' Button in the 3d lofter should work for you. If you turn this on before you loft your shape into the 3d Editor you should find that the unnecessary vertices on the flat lines are not created. See page 16-14, 2nd paragraph in the Tutorials book to see one example of how it is used. See page 16-12 in the Reference Manual to see a lofted object with and without optimization on. This seems to most accurately reflect the problem you are seeing. Hope I am on the right track with this…. Good luck, Kevin
