Declan, there is an extrude to point component, so you could extrude into a cone and then trim with a surface, or use this as an alternative.

Tom,

I'm trying to use the Flange Vector component, and after plugging in my crv and vector (Z), I get a runtime error of "Invalid U and V counts".  Is this a problem with my crv?

no, it's not periodic or a circle.  it is a closed crv and will create a flange if I run it through Convert To Bezier, but then it is no longer closed and extrudes as individual surfaces.  See attached

I created a workaround, see attachment!

Hi,

I see that the page you linked out has been removed. How can I get ASTools?

Thanks!
