algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Alright I'm having a little trouble with my sweep, it looks like the curves are getting flipped.  The definition takes 4 sine curves that I built into closed curves and moves them to the quads of a circle.  First they were moved to the quads from the endpoints, but I later used the X-tremez component to attach them at the lowest points of the sine curve so the sweep would retain a perfect circle on it's inner diameter.  Could I prevent the profiles from flipping with a frame of some sort?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Hi Cameron, a simple suggestion is to rotate the flipped section. Very nice ring!!! Regards. ;)

good call, thanks man, I'm gonna print some of these as rings and bangles I'll post them after.

Hey Lucas can you tell me why you only had to rotate one of the profiles, and how the area component works in that process?  That would be greatly appreciated as I'm trying to learn as much as I can at this point.

Let me help you tonight! Im sorry, now i cant

Hi cameron i just see at first sight that it is what´s happening. The area component is just to get a point to rotate on and then i´ve moved to the same position. I noticed that symetry was not your intention and thats why i did this... ive rotate the profils in order to get "more friendly" to the finger. Hope it helps ;)

thanks Lucas, I really appreciate you taking the time to follow this up.

Would you not end up with a different profile if the curve isn't symmetrical?
