Hello,
I am modeling a roof beam structure that has curved posts arraying on a curve. I have the geometry of the posts and am trying to orient them to the curvature of the roof, however I’m having difficulty doing so. I normally evaluate the surface to create a plane to orient my geometry to, however, I couldn’t produce a surface from th roof curve, and when I tried to deconstruct an extrusion the orientation result got flipped in one part. The curvature should be facing up. What should I do?

Please internalize your geometries or attach also the .3dm file.
It’s impossible to help you otherwise.
Hi, sorry about that. I also simplified the cure which made the orient continuos but still flipped on one part. Here you go.

You were constructing planes with a constant Y vector, that can’t be good.
Notice how your planes are used, V directions (plane Y vector) have to change gradually up to a whole full turn 360° …

btw, you have a small overlapping segment here:
thank you so much!
I also need to divide the surface to model each element like this
I was able to model it on the initial beam section but when I try orienting it to the main curvature the split fragments don’t orient properly.
I realized that it’s because when I Deconstruct Brep and list item it indexed more than one curves which creates the issue. Does anyone know how I can fix that?
