im currently working on modleing the Planet Express building from the show Futurama. I am working on the tower and i am using a swept mass for the base. what happens is that the top and base portiations of the mass are not even. how do i get them to be even?

Hi Hammer, i think you sketch the path with some inclination, in a elevation view see if the model have an inclination, if so, edit the sweep and rebuild your path in a elevation view (vertically).

i checked the incline and it doesnt look like there is one, and when i do the path i do it using the front of the building and use the top for the profile.
