Oh. I saw your previous post and thought you changed the torii with "differenced"

Nice anyway. Could you revolve it along the path?

bend appropriately, meaning on the thinnest side.
Here is the twisting result.

     I like. But isn't it known/also known as the 'Triquetra' Knot?

       I'm interested to know where 'Tre *foil*' originates from?

Uh, I have a use for this! :)

When defining pathways of aircraft in explaining manuevers, this ribbon effect you
have come up with aptly demonstrates axial
transitions. I can't wait to see you finish it!

Thank you. I will have some pov time tonight, so I will finish cleaning up
the macro and post it tomorrow. I will include the trefoil function as an
example file.
