This is a follow-up question to one I posted here (http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?172966-import-3d-polyline-use-as-sweep-path).

I’m trying to use a sweep to model a 3d train path. I’ve figured out how to use a 3d solid from Civil-3d, use one of the edges as a 3d path for a sweep. But it appears that the sweep twists along the path. I need it to stay level throughout the sweep. How can I keep things straight and level? Or is there a better way to accomplish what I need? TIA

Instead of a sweep, how about using a blend with the same (level) profile at each end?

This seems to be working. I hope it is since our project engineer as sent the model files off to our client....
