This isn’t precisely the same thing because the section curves are now perpendicular to the rail, but it’s very close.

I think the result you want is more like this? But for some reason, it isn’t a ‘Closed Brep’ as expected. :frowning:

Wow. Aside from the cleanup of the unnecessary List Item components and differences in where we grafted, the most significant factor in getting a ‘Closed Brep’ appears to be the DeBrep component?! If you skip that then you too get an ‘Open Brep’. I wonder why?

Thank you everybody this was exactly what I needed.
