I really don't have a solution to your problem, but did you think about making the nose cone in the spline modeller without using the torus function. I believe a symmetrical profile would give you the same effect off a circular base. Just a thought, not certain what your end goals is. memaci

I get those artifacts when the Illustrator file has "corner points", i.e. points with no Bezier "legs" to make sure the curve is integral in both slope (1st derivative) and "flip" (2nd derivative).

Hi, you should try to contact our tech support at support@eovia.com. If we are not able to help, we should at least be able to make sure this is fixed in the next version of Carrara Charles

One thing I notice in Illustrator is that my points only have one handle, not two (but not sure what that means or even how to change it). I created my shape by laying down a circle, stretching it 50% in one direction and then deleting 3/4's of the circle.

There's 1 corner point in the lower right. It looks like you'd get those artifacts from the points in the upper right and lower left.

they only have one handle because the bottom and right edges are straight, so they have no handle -dthrm
