When extruding along path - or lofting with rail - the profile automatically rotates, so it is oriented perpendicular to the path. For most purposes this is good. Sometimes, however, I want the profiles orientation to remain the way I place it prior to exterusion (or lofting) - all through the final extruded shape. I want this, because it is the ONLY way, I can generate certain shapes.
So I wish, there was an option within the extrude along path dialogue, where I can disable the automatic re-orientation of the profile shape - if the profile shape is indeed a 3D nurbs curve.
This is hard to explain in a way, that evokes exitement. But it is actually really, really important, so I hope you pay attention at NNA :-)
