guys,
I have some problem while trying to create surfaces using Birail 3+ Tool in my Car Roof Curves.
It’s happen when I’ve finished to build profiles and rail curves, but theres nothing happen, although the multi profile birail surfaces shape was created in my Channel box and the Outliner window.
The surfaces doesn’t created in my workspace.
I’ve checked the script editor, and there is no error issues due to this problem.

Here is my script editor log

select --ne defaultLightSet ;
select -r multiProfileBirailSurface1 ;
select -r curve9 ;
select -tgl curve21 ;
select -tgl curve10 ;
select -tgl curve22 ;
select -tgl curve11 ;
select -tgl loftedSurface2.u[2] ;
// Undo: select -tgl loftedSurface2.u[2]  // 
select -tgl loftedSurface2.v[0] ;
select -tgl curve20 ;
{  string $Selection1[]$Selection1[0] "curveShape8"$Selection1[1] "curveShape21";
$Selection1[2] "curveShape9"$Selection1[3] "curveShape22"$Selection1[4] "curveShape10"
string $Selection2[]$Selection2[0] "curveShape8"$Selection2[1] "curveShape21";
$Selection2[2] "curveShape9"$Selection2[3] "curveShape22"$Selection2[4] =
"curveShape10"$Selection2[5] "loftedSurface2.v[0]"$Selection2[6] "curveShape20";
performBirail 0 3 `currentCtx`;  };
multiProfileBirailSurface -tp2 0 -ch 1 -po 0 -tm 1 -tp1 0 curve9 curve21 curve10 curve22 curve11 loftedSurface2.v[0] curve20 ;
// Warning: You have an empty result since history is on. You may want to undo the last command. // 
// Result: multiProfileBirailSurface1 mpBirailSrf1 //

notes : I’ve checked it many times and I think all the curve points was snapped correctly in the curves.

I’ve attached the image.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Thanks mihoss :),
but I still got this problem.
I’ve clicked 4 profiles (for the roof), hit enter, clicked 2 rails, and the surface was created in my channel box.
But I can’t see the birailed surface in my workspace, nothing happen. Although I can move it/ rotate it/ scale it.

EDITED :
Finally Fixed !!!
I got something issues with Curve direction and reverse it , so all the rail curve and profile have same direction.

---------------------------------
I’m sorry for my terrible english.
