Robert wrote:I thought this was like the scale thing you come across in sketchup sometimes where you draw it 10x bigger and it comes out correct when you scale it down but would have had errors if drawn full size from the off. But there is no scaling here.
Robert wrote:I can see what you did with that last version and I wouldn't have expected to get cylindrical ends just because the path had straight lines at the ends but You obviously do and it looks a cleaner result.

Thanks again Dave for your help.
