Blend 2 Surfaces

Hello...Hello

Does anyone have a method for blending 2 surfaces from edge curves in grasshopper. I know there is a command in Rhino for it which uses a bezier curve to blend them. I've tried using "Sweep from two rails" in grasshopper using a bezier curve, and while the component does not show an error message, the brep does not form! See attached...Any thoughts?

Sweep2 is sometimes not trivial to use in GH.

In the attachment I flipped the 2 rail curves and changed the start/end point of the profile curve, and that seems to work.

Thanks... I'll try this...I'd look at the definition you attached, but I seem to get an HTML pop up window with code in it when I click on it to download. I've not done this yet, so, any hints to actually get the file on my computer?

I see now what you have done. I am not at all familiar with scripting, but I assume the script is being used to "realign" the geometry of the curve ...so the sweep is starting from the same parameter on both curves?

I'll keep playing with it...thanks for your help.

Yeah, that's the idea.
