Hi there,
I am having some trouble running an extrusion without distorting it along a curve. Its not the cleanest curve (for stair railing and side beam) and I am trying to set frames along the curves to loft them. I have a definition that I found from the discussions and tried to modify it a bit but haven been able to make it work. The goal is to have the x,y,z to match the image below.
you can use Align Plane with a Direction vector, the component will rotate the planes around their Z axis, in such a way their x-axis is aligned with the Direction vector
consider that in this case all your planes are oriented with X-axis pointing at +Z, so when you build the loft section curves (maybe more a sweep1 ?) you need to take that into account and orient your curve in such a way their top will be along X-axis
if you end-up with planes that got aligned, but their Y-axis is pointing in opposite directions, then you need to use Flip Curve because the curve has to be reversed (a trick might be to join all the railing curves together into a single one, and use that directly, or maybe to explode it and get sub-curves which are all oriented in the very same direction…)
