hey this is great, thank you----I was having trouble extruding, when I drag, the faces grow separately making a tire-track look instead of a blended surface. Do you know why this might be happening for me?

Thanks

Really sorry man I have no idea. If you ever figure it out let me know.

For some reason when I loft the 2 isoparms it doesn't come out as a perfect pipe between the two...

Try clearing the history and then try the loft.
