I have two questions (that I will ask in separate messages). 1) What does one do when a model created by the sweep function in MacroModel 1.5 for the Mac does not have capped ends? I have made sure "End Caps" in the Preferences is checked, but the sweep doesn't close. I am trying to make a column that has surface detail, so my sweep profile is not a simple shape. I am also changing the proportion of the end of the sweep, so the column tapers at the top. I am creating the profiles in Vellum, exporting a .dxf file, then selecting the bits and pieces of my profile in MacroModel and joining them to make the profile. All of that works, except my model won't close. Anything I'm missing? Thanks!
