Hi,
I made a curve and I want a circle to “follow” it, so something like a cable or a tube is created.
So I added a sweep-node and connected my curve and a circle. At the end, I added a skin-node to make it actually a cable.
But nothing happens, just circles at the curve-points. Please help.

Next step… I mirrored the curve and connected the end-points. This got me some kind of….saddle.
The skin is very wired now, how can I fix this? You see the basic shape I'm trying to archive in the fuse-node.
