I'm trying to loft a specific shape of a pulley attached to a shaft. Ive benn having many problems with this. I'll try to show the shape. I uploaded the lofted shape showing the problem(3ds library-pulley.gif). xxxxxxxx x x x x x x x x x x xxxxxxxxx x x x x x x x xxxxxx x x x x x x x x x x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This is basically it. It's slightly longer. I've lofted the basic shape without the pulley – no problem. When I add the pulley with its groove it comes out mis-shapen. I also tried to loft the pulle alone and that is the problem. What am I doing wrong? I've changed all options that I can think of. Changed hook, shape steps, path steps, optimization (on,off), checked shape. I made another pulley in the editor and used Boolean subtraction for the groove no problem. help – Mark
