Perp Frames off-set

I have laid out Perp Frames around a circle and extruded in two directions.

First the extrusions follow the vectors a the point of the Plane. Any ideas how to make the extrusion follow the curve (circle) instead of the Vector?

Second, as you see in the jpeg here I need to fill in the space between the Extrusions. I want to create a stagnating effect. Any thoughts how best to achieve this? Is it possible to Orient a second plane and a new set of Perp Frames.

Thanks for any ideas to come.

Matthew

As I look at what you have done, am I reading this correctly?

You 'shattered' the line into a number of curves (set by the slider) = 0-57

You 'reparamaterized the curve into to values 0,1 (the beginning and end?) and by using the slider you take something like a percentage of this curve.

You compile this as a List and feed into the Sweep 1

And Cap the ends

Do I understand the methodology correctly?

Thanks

Yes. The circle is shattered using the 't' values from 'PFrames', then each of the resulting segments is reparameterized and shattered into two parts using the 't' value from the slider. 'Item (List Item)' passes the first of the two parts (i=0) of each segment as rails to 'Swp1 R' input. The 'Graft' on that input is redundant and unnecessary since the list has already been partitioned by the second 'Shatter'.

"stagnating effect"?
