Hello, Having a problem in the spline modeller. I'm trying to extrude a circle along a spline to create a cable loop. See image. The view shown is a view from the left. As you can see the extrusion does not follow the spline, one is offset. The extrusion method = pipeline, extrusion envelope = none. I'm using C3, but I had the same problem in C2. Anyone know how to solve this? Thanks, Andrew

In the Spline Room with the first cross section selected, choose the Sections pull-down menu, choose the Center option which will center the cross section and fix the problem.

Hoooraahhh! Such a simple solution! It's interesting 'cos I always centre the cross section first before I start the path. Thanks Mark.
