    Unhappy Complex curve

    I'm trying to make a rail that has a complex curve at the start of it, this complex curve needs to follow the profile of 3 other curves. I have only been able to get my 3d sketched line to follow two of those curves not three dose anyone know how this is done?

    here is an example of what i have done so far:

    Classical 2D orthographic projection methods tell us if you have two views the third view can be projected. Looking at what you have so far seems to be flawed. Draw it as top, front, right side views in AutoCAD and ortho project the points between views. Not knowing which of the two views are "correct" I took a guess on your design intent. Pull down the EOP.

    Yep i see what you mean there is no solution to the three curves i have drawn, its a bit of a weird one because you think it is possible but actually its not, because one is always the resultant of the other two, sometimes you overlook the basic when trying to do the complex (if that makes sense).

    thanks for your help
