Here’s one way:

First, place the profile at the origin, then set copies onto the surface in the correct location:

One way:

  1. Fin the path curves (Surface menu > Extrude curve > Normal to surface)
  2. SetCPlane on the end of a path curve,(CPLane > Curve) then CPlane Rotate Z to align the plane as needed, or use Rotate with the mapped profile after the next step to get it aligned.
  3. RemapCPlane Copy=Yes from Top to this custom plane.

Then, use Sweep1, with the edge of the Fin surface, not the path curve, as the rail and set Style to’Align with surface’.
