[Bf-funboard] Proposition: Function to change the profile of curves, paths and meshes.

[Fabrizio]

Do you mean along the path? or Rotate the whole profile?

To rotate the profile just do so IN edit mode (TAB). And it will then rotate
along the entire path.

I don't thinks it's possible to rotate the profile along the path with
variation (ie. screw). Might make for a good feature request - especially if
the rotation can be controlled with an ipo! (and animated too!!)  :o)
Hint hint! ;o)

One other thing - the funboard mailist is for discussion of features etc.
For user related questions it would be better to turn to
http://www.elysiun.com/forum/index.php  A search on those forums will most
likely provide you with a lot of the answers you need in more detail and
quicker too! :o)
