Hi,
So I've got a bit of old geo (from GCode - don't ask) which I'm trying to replicate by slicing it (intersection analysis) into several layers and then polyloft. I've managed to get the cross sections using intersection analysis and got curves that correspond to the shape - I've fused the points and even separated them and remerged them but the geo still comes back bananas - it feels like this should be much easier. How do I get a continuous surface? The curves were generated by intersection and resampled. I think they are polylines - hitting them with a convert to anything else doesn't do anything useful. Or am I using the wrong method? Pics below and scene file attached.
Thank you.
I want to connect these in a predictably linear fashion
