Hi Chris,
thank you for your fast response and the work you are doing on the curves-wb
.
There where several big diskussions in the german forum (the pics speak...)
how to solve several geometric problems.

Thread one german text means: "fascinating experiments with curves/surface-wb".
Thread two: "tilted concrete walls, how to attach?".
Especially the problem with the two concrete walls could only be solved by using curves/surface-wbs.
(as bernd wrote in the introduction, even his professional CAD-technicians couldnt solve it, but FC did...
)
regards Thomas
Hi,
It is pleasing to read that some people have interest in Nurbs in FreeCAD.
On the other hand , I feel a bit scared to read that several people start to use my Curves WB.
Please keep in mind that this WB is mainly a "playground" for me.
It is my "homework" while I'm leaning coding.
The more I learn coding with this workbench, or by looking at FC development, the more I measure the huge difference there is between amateur hacking ( Curves WB ) and serious professional coding.
Indeed, it fails in the PartDesignNext context.
Unfortunately, I don't use this Workbench, so I don't really know what could be wrong here.
I'll try to investigate.
But copying the Ruled surface and the profiles to a new file ( outside of a PDN body ) make the Sweep2Rails work.
By the way, as I read some of you get interest into the surface WorkBench, the Filling tool now offers to add "Unbound edges" to a surface.
These "Unbound edges" are edge constraints that are NOT boundaries.
See the attached file with a fresh Git FreeCAD.
